Last year for my birthday, Eric got me a 16 qt pressure canner and I’m itching to try it out. So this year we are planning to put up as much garden fare as possible. In order to do this we needed to acquire a large stash of canning jars.
I stumbled across this great company a few months ago when I was Googling for a cheap source of canning jars. This company is located just a hop, skip and jump from us in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Since Fillmore Container had better prices and selection than Wal-Mart, we decided to place an order and drive up to pick it up:
- 10 cases of wide mouth quart jars
- 10 cases of wide mouth pint jars
- 7 cases of 1/2 pint jars
- 5 cases of 1/4 pint jars
- 1 case wide mouth lids
- 1 case of regular mouth lids
- 1 case of wide mouth gallon jars
- 12 wide mouth lids for gallon jars
- 1 case of 17 oz bale jars
The gallon jars will be for fermenting vegetables and the bale jars will be for dried vegetables and herbs.
The drive was pleasant and the people at Fillmore were great. We highly recommend them. Keith Reinhart of Fillmore containers was telling us that he’s seen a large increase in people buying canning jars.
Here’s are some pictures of our haul (about 2.5 feet high, 4 feet deep):
