Florida’s early settlers were self-reliant and resilient. In order to survive, they often had to raise their own animals and grow their own crops to feed their families , as well as a source of income. How did pioneers eat long after harvest season? Pioneers practiced several types of food preservation to extend the life of the food they grew. One type of preservation is canning.
