Cannery
For more than 50 years Bedford County has operated a community cannery at New London Academy for the benefit of gardeners who want to preserve their harvest. (Besides produce, the cannery can also preserve meat, by appointment only.) The cannery accommodates #300 and #2-1/2 cans and provides the work space, sinks and supplies. The cannery is open to everyone, whether they live in the county or not.
The New London Community Cannery is located at 12404 E. Lynchburg Salem Turnpike behind New London Academy (US 460 at Va. 811).
The cannery phone number is (434) 525-9706 during the season.
Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7:30 a.m. until 1 p.m, depending on the workload.
Open the first week of July (or the last week of June, depending on the season)
