Grow a year’s worth of food for your family

I’m so thrilled you want to grow your own food.

But while gardening seems simple on the surface, it’s deceptively complicated and can easily become overwhelming, frustrating and expensive.

The amount of information and new things to learn can feel overwhelming. How do I prep my soil? Should I build a garden bed or plant in the ground? How do I preserve my seeds? When and where should I plant my crops? And what should I do to prepare for winter? 

I get it, there’s a lot to learn!

That’s why I created Backyard Gardening System. In this course, I’m sharing absolutely EVERYTHING you need to know about gardening. This is your one-stop-shop for creating a garden that will feed and nourish your family for DECADES.

I’ll walk you step-by-step through planning and cultivating a garden specific to your needs and garden space, with in-depth instructional videos and resources designed to help you garden like a pro.

Hi There, I'm Melissa!

I believe the simple things in life are truly the best and everything just looks better in a Mason jar. As a 5th generation homesteader, I had to learn how to garden while working a full-time job, something the women in my family hadn't done while homesteading.

With over two decades of gardening, I've learned how to increase my yield, combat disease naturally, and do it without spending hours on end each day.

Not only that, I've helped hundreds of thousands of people discover the same thing through my popular blog, books, Pioneering Today podcast, and YouTube channel.

I can't wait to share these tips and systems with you inside the Backyard Gardening System Course!
