Driving to the cannery is not hard or time consuming. Take the freeway west to Dobson. Turn onto Dobson and head toward Broadway. Go West on Broadway to El Dorado. Turn North on El Dorado. This took me 16 minutes.
You will run straight into the cannery (don't really run into it!) Go into the Parking lot and turn right. Go around back and park your car.
This is where you walk in. Go through the double doors on the right.
Go up to the front desk. (That's sweet Sister Carter in the pink shirt!)
Sign in with your name, ward and stake. Wash you hands and go through the tan colored door.
You can put your purse, keys, cell phone etc. in the cabinet.
Put on your hairnet and gloves.
This is what it looks like in the cannery. Someone will be there to instruct you on safety, then we have a prayer.
This is the board that tells us how many of each item to can and how many bags of product it takes to can them.
Product comes in bags or boxes. Bags you cut open and fill the hopper, then scoop into the cans. Boxes you scoop right into the cans.
Next an oxygen packet is put in, a lid put on then it's given to the machine operator to seal the can. And finally a label is put on and it is set on a cart.
After the canning, you help clean up then go out to the pallets and pick up your order.
Then you stand in line to pay. Don't fill out your check in advance, as sometimes the product isn't there or the prices have changed.
Then you take your order home. It's that simple. It usually only takes about an hour. So with drive time I'm usually there for two hours at the most. So come to the cannery! It's the 3rd Friday of each month at 1pm.
