Canning and preserving food is not new. It’s been around for generations.
I understand trepidation when starting something but friends… the “food” that floods our screens, our grocery store shelves, they are truly scary.
Canning, dehydrating, freezing, preserving REAL food is doable. It’s something we CAN do.
There are many wonderful people across this platform that have been putting by their food like I have for many, many years. Teaching and sharing how you can take these skills into your own home. You don’t have to have acreage. You don’t have to grow it all yourself. You don’t have to have a cellar designated for your canned items. You just have to have a desire to start. A willingness to take a real hard look at the foods that are being eaten, and if they are mostly processed garbage… a willingness to change.
One baby step at a time is better than turning a blind eye to what we know is an issue.
That’s why I’m here, let’s learn together. 💛

I’ve shared this again because it’s just that important… it’s worth repeating. 😘
