  • This Guide Still Taught Me Tips

    “This guide is perfect for anyone looking to freeze food safely!  I’ve been freezing veggies from my garden every summer for years, but this guide still taught me tips and techniques I hadn’t thought of before. While I am primarily interested in freezing vegetables, the sections on other foods are equally informative. This guide is packed with helpful advice, from preparing to storage tips, so the food stays as fresh as possible.”

When my husband’s health took a serious turn, I knew we needed to make drastic changes. Buying organic food wasn’t an option, so I turned to growing and preserving our own food as the solution. Freezing food was where I started, but it wasn’t smooth sailing. I dealt with freezer-burned, tasteless meals and more food loss than I’d like to admit. Despite being comfortable with canning, learning to freeze food effectively was a whole new challenge, especially since I lacked the proper equipment at the time.

Through trial and error, I figured it out. Today, we grow and produce about 80% of our food, our health has improved significantly, and we’ve cut our grocery bill by more than 75%! That’s why I created this freezer guide. I want to help you avoid my mistakes, save money, waste no food, and confidently serve nutrient-dense, healthy meals to your family.
