A Bit About Me

Hi, I am Ann! A one-time suburban housewife turned sustainable homesteader. I am a wife, a mother of 7 – of mine, yours, and ours – and a grandmother to three. My family and I homestead on a 2-acre single-family mountainside property on the coastal side of Washington state. We love the beautiful evergreen state we reside in. However, we know it’s not our forever, and we are finding our forever homestead.

I am the face behind the brand, A Farm Girl in the Making, the voice behind the podcast, a Simple Homesteading Life, and the author of The Farm Girl’s Guide to Preserving the Harvest. Through my social media accounts, I share our strong desire to live a simple, traditional life and how we have successfully owned our food source, all while mentoring and encouraging others to do the same.

I have committed to encouraging others to achieve the same dream. The desire to seek food freedom begins with growing a sustainable garden, raising our meat, and preserving the harvest.

Welcome! And thank you for allowing me to teach you everything you will need to know about preserving food through canning.

Put Aside the Fears

The homesteading movement, or clean food movement, needs more people behind it. People who will manage a sustainable garden, raise livestock for meat, and preserve the year’s harvest – keeping them from being reliant on all supermarkets. What sets us apart from big-box grocery stores? We truly, and undoubtedly, experience seed to pantry. As a home food preserver, we know every ingredient going into our canned goods, which is necessary for those with a restricted diet.

I began studying methods for preserving foods the moment I began homesteading. As a Master Food Preserver, and author of a preserving book, I questioned everything I was taught. Not because I didn’t trust the information, but because there were many loopholes I found in the teachings. In addition to this, many credible resources did not teach how to preserve foods during unforeseen circumstances, a necessary skill to own.

My goal is to teach you how to think sustainably. Scientific and traditional preserving methods have a place in home food preservation, as long as you know how to confidently make the decisions on your chosen methods. Allow me to teach you how to think freely, safely, and with confidence.

Preserve many tomato products utilizing scientific information with traditional tools.
How modern canning tools, such as the steam canner and steam juicer, revolutionized preserving methods.
