  Place in each jar 1 clove garlic and one hot chile pepper.  Pack asparagus

  months before opening jars. Makes 4 quarts.

Could be. That's just the sort of thing that they would
make.

Edited to add: according to relayfoods.com, both these are
available in Charlottesville at fairly reasonable prices,
the former for $3.19 for 10 oz, the latter for $2 for 8 oz.

The Relay system is interesting - you order your groceries
online, they box them up, you pick up at their trucks, which
park in different spots depending on the day of the week, or
you can have them deliver (for a fee) the same way that
Peapod would.
