🔥Home Canners BEWARE: Is Sharing Home Canned Food a Crime? "ILLEGAL Distribution", Let's Talk!

Home canners, brace yourselves… could you actually be accused of “distributing” food just by giving your home canned goods away? 😡 In Manchester, New Hampshire, a man who has been sharing his pickles, jellies, and canned tomatoes for decades was just hit with a cease-and-desist letter. Why? Because the city says giving away food from your kitchen counts as distribution under their law. This raises the question: Where’s the line between a heartfelt gift and an “illegal” act of distribution? Could this happen to you or me as home canners? As someone who has taught safe canning for years, this makes my blood boil. We’ve always been told to share our harvests and preserve our traditions—but now, are we at risk of breaking the law for doing so? In this video, I’m sounding the alarm and opening the discussion: • What does “distribution” really mean? • Could you be fined for just for giving jars of food away? • Should cities be cracking down on home canners who are simply sharing their abundance? 👉 Drop your thoughts in the comments—do you think home canners should be regulated this way, or is this government overreach?
