About this episode

Staci and Jeremy discuss their journey in food cultivation and preservation, emphasizing the connection between these skills and overall wellbeing.

Staci and Jeremy started their farm in 2016 and have spent years learning to produce and preserve the majority of their own food, all while raising their kids alongside the process. Their book fills a gap most people never think about: growing food and preserving it are two separate skill sets and connecting them changes everything.In this conversation, they break down practical techniques for canning, freeze-drying, and dehydration, share hard-won lessons on managing pests, soil health, and unpredictable weather, and make the case that self-sufficient food production isn't just about survival, it's about mental clarity, physical wellbeing, and building something meaningful with your family and community.Whether you have a backyard garden or you're just getting started, this episode will leave you with a new appreciation for where your food comes from and the confidence to do something about it.https://www.themindfulmovement.comThanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and SaraSome of our Favorites (affiliates)https://www.themindfulmovement.com/resources---------------------------------------------1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING…
