The Lost of Art of Canning

I ran across an interesting USA Today article this afternoon discussing how the Local Food Movement Spurs Canning Trend and the renewed interest in canning food. Whether it's because of food safety or security concerns, or other reasons, canning is making a comeback.

The article also included a chart showing the number of households that participate in vegetable gardening -- 31 million households for 2009 and ever-so-steadily climbing.

Do you take the time to preserve your land bounty? If so, what local resources have you found helpful for classes or supplies?
