Food Storage As Grandma Knew It

I have been thinking quite a bit about storing food, preserving, canning, freezing. We were successful this year in picking blueberries from a local organic farm and storing away about 25 pounds in our freezer for use until into November. We also picked and stored apples from our trees in a plastic bin in our storage room, and we are currently enjoying fresh apples. However, my dreams of canning large amounts of fresh tomatoes didn't pan out, and I really would like to grow and store more of the food we eat. Today I ran into an interesting article in the New York Times with the title of this entry and it peaked my interest again in learning more practical applications of food preservation and storage. I have attached the link to the article here.
