Cherry Preservation Overview

With cherry season just around the corner we want to help you get prepared.  When the growing conditions are just right, this small, sweet fruit is in abundance.  If you decide to pick and keep your cherries (rather then selling them or giving them away to neighbors), there are many ways in which you can preserve and store them on your shelf.

You can put the cherries in a Fruit Dehydrator and dry them for snacks, trail mix or salads.  This method is great for compact storage when space is limited, plus it preserves the fruit well enough to last for several months.

What To Do With Wheat Flour

Grinding your own wheat at home for baking or any kind of cooking is quite satisfying, especially when you make the hard effort to grind it by hand using a Wheat Grinder.

However, there is something you'll want to be careful of when grinding fresh wheat flour.  Because of the natural oils in wheat berries, the ground flour can go rancid rather quickly if it is not stored in a cool, dry environment.  If you grind a lot of flour in advance and will not be using it right away, we recommend that you store it in the freezer to get the best 'shelf-life.'  But even then it will only keep in the freezer for 8-12 months, depending upon your freezer temperature, the climate you live in and how fresh the wheat berries were to begin with.  Sometimes, if conditions are right, you can buy even more time for your frozen flour, but you'll want to make sure it is stored in air-tight bags or containers in order to keep it from becoming freezer burnt.
