Not much is wasted here. Scraps go to the farm animals but we have been canning and dehydrating like food will disappear tomorrow. We grew a garden but honestly life was busy this summer and it suffered from lack of water, weeds took over can we did not the crops we planned on. However direct sales from farms, fruit trucks, farmers markets and flea markets kept us busy. We found a new a new love for the Amish market. (I live in rural MN). Our latest canning project was beef stew. Also made packets of peppers and onions for stir fry/fajita/sheet pan dinners. It's going to be great to not have to prep much if at all.
