I do can my harvest. I also dehydrate and freeze. I have looked into a goat many times, but my husband always felt it was more trouble than it was worth. He is changing his tune now though.
I also make jams and jellies with found foods. In the center of Batesville city there is a peach tree. No one ever eats from it, but it is just loaded with fruit. No one owns it. I mean it grew in a parking lot from a crack! Anyway, we (last year) collected peaches form it. About 30 lbs. I made 12 pints of peach jam with what was left from the kids snacking. It lasted about 4 months. Totally free except the sugar. I cut per 2 lbs.
