[Garden] dehydrator & canner

[Britton Jenner]

Hello everyone, if the garden is looking to buy a dehydrator, they sell them
at the St. Jacob's farmer's market indoors at the kitchen utensil shop thing
in the main building (ie. the one with 2 floors). They run about 100$. Also,
I have a dehydrator from there that the garden could use.
