Gardening · Food storage · Preparedness
Grow it, store it, and never panic at the grocery store again.
I keep a hillside homestead in the Ozarks with an orchard, a big garden, a dozen hens and a root cellar that holds a year of food. I post short, plain how-tos so you can do the same, one small job at a time.
I grew up on a cattle farm where my grandmother kept a root cellar that fed us through every winter. I spent twenty years as a county extension agent, teaching farmers about soil and food safety.
Then my husband Walt and I bought a rundown hillside farm and spent two decades making it feed us. Peaches, pawpaws, persimmons, pecans, potatoes, and a cellar full of jars.
Walt's gone now, and I run the place myself. I started posting to pass on what I know before it gets lost.
The grocery store is a convenience, not a plan.
No doom and no gimmicks. Just calm, practical steps for growing food, keeping it, and being ready when the power goes out.
Every video teaches one useful thing in under a minute.
Fruit trees, native fruit, nut trees and a four-season vegetable garden.
Root cellars, pantries, and keeping food good until spring, cellar or not.
Canning, drying and freezing the harvest, using tested, safe methods.
Ice storms, power outages and a pantry that lets you stay home and stay calm.
