The best way to control the quality of food we eat is to grow it, prepare it and preserve it ourselves.  This could explain why the number of organic gardeners and homesteaders has increased, but you don't have to grow your food yourself to enjoy the benefits of organically grown.  The slightly higher cost of natural foods can be offset by processing at home. There is a multitude of preparation techniques to best preserve the taste,  appearance and nutritive value of fresh food safely and with ease.   Here you will find devices that make preparing special foods or large quantities enjoyable.  

To enjoy self-reliant living and utilize resources in a responsible manner, one must follow the path chosen by few.

Mayflower Trading Company carries a variety of high quality fruit and vegetable preparation equipment, canning equipment, and specialty appliances such as popcorn poppers, smoothie makers and electric griddles.
If your search for the right popcorn popper has led you here, you will find Stove Top Poppers, microwave poppers and electric poppers from which to choose.
A Smoothie Maker is a blender designed tough enough to constantly chop ice and is designed specifically for making thick ice drinks. At Mayflower Trading, you are sure to find the right Smoothie Maker for you.
If you have a large quantity of  produce you need to prepare for storage, you will find a multitude of options from fruit and vegetable juicers, food slicers, food grinders, strainers, apple peelers, and cherry stoners.
The Back to Basics Blender Solution is a powerful and versatile appliance that can be used as a food processor, blender or smoothie maker; no doubt, one of the most useful appliances in any kitchen.
Produce your own fresh, home-made vegetable and fruit juices, maintaining the full nutritional content of the food with the Nutri-steamer, naturally extracting the natural juice of grapes, berries, tomatoes and other soft fruits with the power of steam.  Or, if you are wanting to juice a wider variety of fruits and vegetables, we offer several models of masticating juice extractors as an appliance that will serve all of your juicing needs.
The Presto electric slicer/shedders are efficient kitchen helpers that take the work and mess out of slicing and shredding vegetables and fruits. Shoot sliced or shredded food directly into the jar for pickling or raw pack canning without having to use additional bowls.
If you are preparing meat for jerky or vegetables for dehydrating, you will definitely save time with the Back to Basics meat grinder and the Nesco Food Slicer. Nesco / American Harvest Jerky Xpress Home Jerky Maker makes jerky from ground meat, great for beef or game.
Maybe you have all your food prep needs met and you are ready to process by hot water bath method, pressure canner method or by dehydrating.  Our water bath canner features a deeper pot allowing over an inch of water to cover the jars, a non-stick surface for easy cleaning, and a canning rack that keeps jars separated and safely off the bottom.   The 7-quart Steam Canner uses less water than conventional water bath canners and reduces preheating time significantly. Both methods are so simple and easy to use, home canning will be a joy.
The most energy efficient form of preserving food is dehydration. Making dried fruit and jerky is simple and convenient with the Back to Basics Food Dehydrator. A combination of heat and air circulation quickly dries up to five pounds of fruits, vegetables, and meats. The Nesco/American Harvest Food Dehydrator and Harvest Gardenmaster Dehydrator are perfect for large quantities of food being prepared for long-term storage.  Most dried foods stored in a cool, dark place will last five or more years.  If you are new to food dehydration or are interested in making your own all healthy, natural snacks and trail foods - all without sugar, chemicals, or preservatives, the Nesco Snackmaster Express All-In-One Dehydrator Kit is a great way to get started. Making your own snacks is more nutritious and less costly than store bought dried foods.
