New London Cannery
For more than 50 years, Bedford County has operated a cannery for the benefit of gardeners who want to preserve their harvest.
The New London Community Cannery is located behind New London Academy on Route 460 in Forest. It is open to everyone, whether you live in Bedford County or not.
The cannery accommodates #300 and #2.5 cans and provides the workspace, sinks, and supplies. Besides produce, the cannery can also preserve meat, but by appointment only.
The cannery's regular operating hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6 a.m. to noon, depending on workload.
