As a first generation homesteader I know how difficult it can be to find thorough and worthwhile information needed to live this life. I spent years and countless hours studying how to successfully grow and preserve foods, raise meat animals, and establish a homestead. As I watched our food source collapse I knew there was no option to fail at this life. This is what led me to launch The Homesteader’s Sustainable Living Academy.
Each course is well researched, taught in a very comprehensive manner, containing many tips and tricks to establishing a well-rounded homestead.
The Homesteader’s Sustainable Living Academy allows you to work at a pace which is comfortable for you and by all means, review the course as often as you need to. Make sure to take advantage of the free printables, PowerPoints, and workbooks.
The first course available in The Homesteader’s Sustainable Living Academy (and in time for the canning season to begin) is the Sustainable Canning Course. Make sure to stay up to date on the release of future courses by joining my email list. The full 2021 curriculum can be found below, I am excited to mentor you through this year of learning!
Sustainable Canning Methods
Canning foods as a sustainable homesteader requires one to understand both, science and traditional, methods of canning foods. This skill empowers you to preserve foods through canning under all dire circumstances for example, a natural disaster.
Dried Goods & Cold Storage
The second most popular method for storing foods is through drying and storing fresh. This course walks you through how to dehydrate and air dry herbs, fruits, vegetables. In addition to drying foods, storing items fresh is essential to the life we live.

Hi, I’m Ann!
A one-time suburban housewife turned sustainable homesteader. I am a wife, a mother of 7 - consisting of mine, yours, and ours - and a grandmother to four. 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. Together we transformed untouched land into a sustainable homestead.
I am a Master Food Preserver, 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 managed to successfully own our food source, all while mentoring and encouraging others to do the same.
I thrive on empowering others and watching them succeed. The opportunity to mentor individuals worldwide who seek to live as I do is an incredible blessing - a blessing with a purpose.
Teaching is in my blood. The opportunity to teach families how to own their food source and how to work the land is essential to the life we live. The reasoning is simple, the more families that succeed in living sustainably means more voices to demand a better food source.
Allow me to help you find your voice.
