YT is your friend. There's millions of recipes and neat ways of making your own snacks, chewy bars etc etc. A dehydrator could be useful come Autumn, and cheap fruits abound that you can dry and store for later use in making fruit and nut bars.

Thanks. A dehydrator is a good idea, I have been thinking one could be useful. I plan on setting aside some time to do a big bake up before the calves start hitting the ground next week.
