The Pantry Garden: Growing & Preserving for the Homestead Kitchen

Welcome to The Pantry Garden, a journey through the homestead growing season. This series is designed to help you achieve a higher level of self-sufficiency by growing, harvesting, and preserving real food for your family. The Pantry Garden is a weekly blog series dedicated to gardening in whatever style works for your needs. I started this project to share the joy (and practicality) of building a garden that feeds your pantry—guided by homestead values, self-sufficiency, and a love for seasonal living.

Each week, I’ll walk you through what I’m planting, harvesting, or preserving here in Maine, with step-by-step advice you can follow at home. Whether you’re a canner, a new gardener, or a busy person who wants to grow more of what you eat, this series is for you.

Join me as we grow and preserve a year’s worth of food—one week at a time.
