What People Are Saying:

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. 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!

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. It is a blessing to be a member of this group and continue to learn ways to help us be more self sufficient.

Tell your doctor about all your self-sufficiency, home growing, and livestock dreams. Be warned you may start talking about seeds, the state of your garden and how many jars of home canned food lines your shelves to anyone within a five-foot radius.

We cannot and do not make any guarantees to the efficacy of these recipes when doing these on your own in your own kitchen. Simply put, there are simply too many variables when it comes to growing your own food, canning, herbing, and raising livestock. What we do offer is what has worked the best for us. It is our hope that it works out the same for you, too!
