Backyard Conservation: The Preserver’s Garden with Stacy and Jeremy Hill
About this episode
Chris hosts Stacy and Jeremy Hill to discuss sustainable food practices and home gardening.
Chris hosts Stacy and Jeremy Hill to discuss intentional food choices, local and seasonal eating, and reducing carbon impacts from long-distance shipping and food waste. The Hills, based at Gooseberry Bridge Farm in southern Missouri, describe how homegrown tomatoes sparked their journey into gardening and preserving, leading to better flavor, nutrition, lower costs, and improved food security for their family of eight. They explain practical ways to start small, preserve surplus (freezing tomatoes for later sauce), and safely can foods by understanding acidity, using tested recipes, and choosing water-bath vs. pressure canning to avoid botulism. They also cover dehydrating, freeze-drying, fermenting, time management, involving kids, pest control with beneficial insects and targeted methods, and their book The Preserver’s Garden. == Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
