Nannie's Canning

10/04/2026

What a whirlwind this past week has been! I worked Monday–Wednesday, officially retired, and then thought…**now what?!** 😂

Apparently, I was a little worried I was going to be bored, because I went on a mission and applied to **every craft fair I could find!** 🤦‍♀️😂 It didn’t take long for me to realize that I was WAY overextending myself before I even got started.

So, I’m taking a deep breath and slowing things down. I’m sticking with the events I had already planned — **Squam Fest, the Danbury Winter Market, and a very strong maybe for the North Woodstock Fall Market.**

Now I need to figure out how to reorganize things so I can do more of what I love — **canning, baking, and creating all kinds of homemade goodies** — without turning retirement into another full-time job! 😂

I also want to make sure I leave plenty of time for the things retirement is really about…**family, friends, relaxing, and enjoying life a little.** ❤️

I’m excited to see where this next chapter takes me and **Nannies Canning Pantry**. One thing is for sure…there will be plenty of good food involved! 🥰🍪🍎🍓

🎉 Retired life means more time for making local goodies! 🎉
Now that I’ve officially retired from FNST, I am hitting the ground running and lining up some incredible local markets!

My very first stop is NEXT WEEKEND for the massive Fall Frenzy at Collins Farm in Bath, NH (voted the #1 Corn Maze in the state!) 🌽🍂
Come get lost in the maze, grab a pumpkin, and stop by my booth to stock your pantry for the autumn season. I’ll be loaded up with my homemade canned goods!

🛍️ FALL FESTIVAL SPECIAL:
Stock up for holiday gift baskets or your own winter stash! I'm running a Buy 5, Get the 6th FREE deal all weekend long! Bring home a mix of your favorite jams, pickles, and relishes.

🚨 Quick tip for fellow maze-goers: Cell service can be a little spotty out on the farm, so cash is highly appreciated to help keep the lines moving fast!

🗓️ October 10-11
📍 Collins Farm — Bath, NH
Can't wait to see some familiar faces and celebrate my retirement with you all. Drop a comment below if you plan on coming out! 👇

Canning Season is the most exhausting time of the year for me. This year it is even more so as we get closer to a trip of a lifetime for Lee and I. This morning another small batch of Zesty Dill, Bread &Butter, Christmas Pickles. Now headed to work.
