My fiance got a lot of canned goods from a neighbor of hers (she lives in a suburban subdivision) so I guess it is making a come-back. I've heard a lot on the news, and other programs talking a lot more about the benefits of growing your own food, and canning it.
When we finally get our own house my fiance and I are planning on having a lot of herbs, fruit, and vegetables, and I know she's excited about canning our own goods.
