Hello,
I am interested in learning more about set up a CFO. I just have a general questions. And I am sure with the more research I do these will become apparent, but I figured you seem to already know a lot. A good start at least. So I was wondering if I have to get my ingredients from a seller (store, farmers market, registered business already) or can I pick or grow them myself? Another questions is water: Do I have to get my products tested if I am on well water vs. city water? Where can I find the best information on what needs to get tested in acidity and water? Also do you know a cheap website to get glass jars? Figured you have probably shopped around or someone else might know something. Hope to hear from you soon, but in the mean time I will be doing some research myself. Thanks again, Jenny
