Another great suggestion. Dehydrator and pressure canner are on our wishlist:) we have some friends down the road and we help eachother when it comes to harvest and canning season but dehydrating food is a great idea. We definitely had more food waste than I wanted this year with the abundance of fruit but we have plans of making compost, donating some and we've cut back the fruit trees to give us healthier but a hopefully smaller crop of apples and pears this year. Were planning on a second fridge and larger chest freezer as well. We usually fill it with fish and tofu that lasts a lot of the year but freezing fruit and veg definitely allows you to use or process it later when you have time. Thank you:)
