You're Invited….
grow your own food, preserve healthy produce for year round eating & stock your pantry without GMO's or questionable ingredients. Including our Home Food Preservation Series
The Academy & members of this group have literally changed my life.
Before joining this group I didn't can food. Today I have 163 jars of vegetables and jam. I am now getting ready to can beets for the first time. I still have tomatoes growing for sauce and diced tomatoes. We have filled, literally, a small freezer full of vegetables. Money may be tight but between this group and what God has given us the right to raise and buy we will not be hungry. It is a blessing to be a member of this group and continue to learn ways to help us be more self sufficient. I may not ever buy a loaf of bread again.” Update: we ended up with over 400 jars at the end of our first season with the Academy!Cheryl~PTA member

Stock Your Pantry Safely With Home Food PreservationKnow Exactly What's In It & What's Not
I wasted hours searching online for canning, gardening and homesteading advice I could understand and trust. Overwhelmed and intimidated by all of the conflicting information I even questioned whether I had it in me to do this whole “homesteading” thing.
Then I found Melissa and the Pioneering Today Academy and slowly I started to regain my confidence and build my homesteading skills one by one. I especially love the “Home Canning With Confidence” section. I always wanted to learn to can, but was really intimidated. Now I put up hundreds of jars of home-canned food each year and have overcome my fear of pressure canning once and for all!
This has truly been an invaluable resource for me on my homesteading journey!

Relearning to can SAFELY.
I am loving the canning class, and I REALLY appreciate the canning safety modules. I learned from my mom and grandma, and I'm finding out I need to change some of my practices. Things like how important headspace is, canning low acid foods, what not to water-bath can, and lots of other tidbits have been so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to answer questions and doing the videos. I think yours are the only ones I've seen that explains why you can't can certain items certain ways.

Successfully grow your own food from seed
“For years I have had failures and so-so results. This is the first year my seeds will make it in the garden, not planting ones purchased from the store. The videos are great! I am excited for this gardening season. “
