Sue Edwards has been canning since she was a girl helping her grandmother preserve. For many years Sue has supplied two farmers markets with a wide variety of canned goods on a part time basis. Sue recently completed a large kitchen space and began canning full time.
When you first open the door to Sue's kitchen the smell of fresh dill greets you along with the
vision of freshly canned jars of vegetable soup and pickled peppers. Sue also preserves many
unique, hard to find, and traditional items such as cowboy jelly and pear honey. Outside the kitchen grows most of the ingredients used in her delicious recipes. Tomatoes, several varieties of peppers, cucumbers, okra, and herbs are grown to fill the mason jars with locally grown goodness. Chickens, quail, turkey, geese, and ducks roam the farm as well. Their eggs are offered fresh and pickled at Rockmart Farmers Market.
Along with canning Sue's husband Bill grows fresh produce that comes to market each week. Look for kale, watermelons, field peas, and even wild lemons. Sand Creek Farm always has
something new to pick up and a great variety of canned goods for stocking your pantry.
