If you've ever seen a natural weed killer floating around that says to use dish soap, epsom salt and vinegar, run away.
I've seen this thing circulate so many times from well-intentioned folks but at best you're wasting ingredients at worst you're damaging your soil with the vinegar and the weeds come back because it doesn't kill the root.
When it comes time to preserve your food, you search online for a tutorial, the perfect recipe, reread everything twice, and then go to get out your canner and supplies.
You pause, what if you don't do it right?
If you follow through (some don't, see what Gail did with her canner below) you wonder if things are going right.
Is the canner supposed to sound like that?
Why did that much liquid leak out during processing?
Can I can this soup recipe safely?
You pull out your jar of pie filling and see bubbles. What went wrong?
If you've ever started down the path to canning, you've experienced this.
It can be frustrating and you wish you had someone experienced right there with you to show you the little secrets that you learn over months and years of growing your own food and preserving it via canning, fermenting, dehydrating and more, especially someone who understands the updated safety guidelines.
Add to this the inability to get ingredients from the store, like pectin and sugar, and you find yourself with a whole new set of questions.
There's so much downright inaccurate and unsafe canning recipes online, can you add dry beans to a jar, fill with hot water and process (the answer is no), is it okay to can ham and bacon, how do I get my jam to set, if the jars didn't seal can I reprocess, these are just a FEW of the questions.
This weekend alone I had to tell people the canning advice they'd followed from someone on YouTube was NOT safe and those jars of food weren't done to proper tested times or procedures.
And your vegetable garden, you need it to flourish but how do you know the best way to grow?
Like when to plant for their area, is it too late, how to get rid of the potato bugs literally crawling all over and eating their potatoes, can you pinch of sucker shoots on your tomato to grow new plants?
All of these were questions from Academy members just this weekend inside or private FB group ad they all got help and answers from experienced people.
There is a lot of bad advice floating around out there.
I teach you how to can using updated canning procedures and the science behind why we do or don't do certain things with canning.
That's why I created the Pioneering Today Academy. Not only does it work for me, but I've taught thousands of people (some who had failed in the past, were just getting started, or wanting to go even further faster) to successfully grow and preserve their own food.
This is not the time to waste ingredients or toss out food because it wasn't processed properly. You need someone who is experienced and has been teaching thousands of people for years how to do this because most of us find ourselves NEEDING to grow and preserve food for our families that is shelf-stable and delicious without sacrificing safety.
We don't have months or years to get it down.
That's why the Academy is so amazing.
It's designed to teach you step-by-step how to grow your own food, preserve it, and create delicious healthy meals for your family from what you've put up.
See what other members are learning and doing for their family!
I can't wait to see you inside the membership!
I'll see you on this inside,
Melissa
