Camden Extension Connections: September 2025
(Updated: Sept. 16, 2025, 5:52 a.m.)
2025 Camden Heritage Festival Canning Contest
This year, the heart of Camden County’s homesteading spirit shines bright as neighbors from across the county have been busy filling jars with the bounty of their very own gardens and orchards. We are delighted to share that this year we have a total of 27 delicious entries.
At 11:00 a.m. during the Camden Heritage Festival, we’ll gather to announce this year’s “Best in Show” in three categories:
- Fruits & Vegetables
- Pickles & Relish
- Jams, Jellies & Preserves
Join us as we celebrate the art of canning, where every jar is a little piece of home and heritage preserved for the days ahead.
