ABOUT US
Hi there! I'm Amanda. That's me- standing in our garden at sunset, on the last day of our year-long garden course, teaching our class members about harvesting and food preservation.
6 years ago, our family set a goal to grow all of our own meat and produce for a year, and to learn the preservation techniques that would allow us to eat our home grown food all year long.
The goal felt impossible because we had a lot of mouths to feed (we are a blended family with 11 kids total), we homeschooled many of them, and Jake had a full time job.
It took us a few years of trial and error, but we achieved our goal. And we did it without machinery, chemicals, pesticides, or artificial fertilizers touching our land & livestock. Our family saves thousands of dollars a year by growing our own food.
But the real value isn't monetary - it's having the peace of mind from knowing where our food comes from, what it contains, and that we have the skills to keep growing and preserving it regardless of what happens in the future.
As friends and followers watched our journey, we started getting a lot of requests to teach classes on how to do what we were doing.
We decided to put together a gardening and preservation class series that was everything we were looking for and couldn't find when we were first getting started. It sold out in a week. We opened another one, and it sold out again. The more classes we've taught, the more requests we've received to make them available online.
After years of filming, writing, and editing, we are so excited to finally have online courses available to everyone!
And the best part is, unlike in-person classes, you can follow along step by step in your kitchen with the ability to pause, rewind, and rewatch as much as you need to until you have mastered the skill.
