This year our garden didn't do too well. So our canning is on the meek side. I would like to get a deer this year. I haven't gone out for 2-3 seasons and it drives me nuts. I have been keeping the freezer stocked with good, cheap pork though. My last whole pig with most of it smoked after it was butchered was only $370. It's hard to pass up. Next thing on the list is a larger deep freeze though.
