If I Can Preserve 400+ Jars a Year While Raising a Family, You Can Too—Let Me Show You How

Hi, I’m Melissa—a 5th-generation homesteader, herbalist, best-selling author and founder of the Pioneering Today Academy. On our 55-acre homestead in the North Cascade foothills, I preserve over 400 jars of food a year while homeschooling, running multiple businesses, and raising livestock with my husband and kids.

Over the past two decades, I’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people safely preserve food at home—through this very training, my canning courses, and at national events like the Modern Homesteading Conference and Homesteaders of America.

My methods have been featured in:
📰 National Geographic, Forbes, Epoch Times, Homestead Living Magazine
I’d love to help you do the same, with zero overwhelm and total confidence.
