Summary

There was a time when almost everyone knew how to grow food, preserve it, and fill a pantry that could carry a family through every season. Somewhere along the way, many of us lost those skills and we also lost the confidence that comes from knowing how to care for ourselves and the people we love. In this conversation, food preservation expert Diane Devereaux shares how to bring those traditions back. You'll learn how to eat better, living more intentionally, and passing practical wisdom to the next generation. We talk about gardening, canning, freeze drying, seasonal eating, food security, preserving water, caring for pets, and why a single jar of homemade strawberry jam can make the middle of winter feel like pure joy. This episode will leave you inspired to start wherever you are. Find Diane's books, courses, and resources at https://canningdiva.com and https://canning.university. A huge thank you to our sponsors!
