We introduce our new Food Preservation Challenge this week! Let's lift each other up and encourage each other to preserve foods and further our experience as homesteaders! It only seemed fitting that we based this episode on different types of preservation. We cover everything from dehydrating to fermenting to canning and freezing. The history of food preservation is fascinating- our ancestors knew so much! We load you up with a quick how to for each method as well as some great resources to get you started!
Our shout out this week is La Gritona Reposado Tequila! This all women owned and operated company is killing it with sustainable practices and unique bottling to create a truly superior tequila! Go support them at La Gritona - Reposado Tequila
