Description
Your garden is your secret defense against any disaster... But only if you know how to harness its incredible power.
Gardening and survival are fundamentally linked. Think back to the Second World War food gardens that prevented the hunger nations usually experience during and after wars.
Those are clear indicators that you can triumph over adversity when you grow your own food.
Growing food is an essential prepper skill – but it’s only half the journey. Your garden is the answer to keeping your family healthy throughout the year, no matter what disaster may arise.
But it will only keep you going all year long if you know exactly how to make it work for you in the off-season. And the secret lies not in the harvest, but in what you do with that harvest.
And you might be surprised to learn that this process starts long before it’s time to pull up the potatoes. It requires planning what to grow, understanding how to make the most of your crops, and making sure you have the right supplies.
Once you have all that in place, you’re perfectly positioned to keep your family in garden-fresh produce all year long, with delicious treats built-in as a bonus.
The art of being prepared isn’t just about knowing how to survive – it’s about knowing how to thrive. It’s about having the skills to not only get through a disaster but to make life worth living while you’re doing it. And that’s why preserving is such an important skill to have.
The good news is that it’s a fun and straightforward journey – when you have the right guidance.
In Preserving the Harvest for Preppers, you’ll find everything you need to take your gardening skills to the next level and have a bountiful harvest all year round.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- Why planning your garden is crucial – and why you need to consider more than just the seeds you’re going to plant Kitchen organization tips that will make all your preserving dreams possible – unleash your inner Marie Kondo on your food storage system
- The one super-crucial skill you’ll need in your garden that no one will tell you about (here’s a secret – time management isn’t just for business execs)
- An in-depth guide to preparing your harvest – so you can be sure you’re preserving the highest level of flavor and nutrients possible The art of canning – demystified and made manageable
- Why there’s more to freezing produce than freezing produce – find out exactly what you need to do for the ultimate flavor, texture, and nutrition
Your guide to freeze-drying (and why you want to add this to your skillset) Why the dehydrator is so much more than a modern fad – and how you can harness the power of dehydrating whether you have one or not
The top time-saving tools that make preserving a piece of cake And much more. If your garden is already giving you abundance, it’s time to amp up its power.
No matter what you grow, you can delight in it all year round when you have the knowledge and skills to make your pantry into a prepper’s paradise.
And best of all, it doesn’t matter what’s happening in the outside world – preparing your produce means you’re prepared for anything.

""I am always looking for more information about how to get more food socked away for the future. Whether you are a prepper, just wanting to be prepared or simply want to save money and eat well, this book has some tips for you.
She says right up front that not every tip is for everyone and that readers need to think about their own situation and interests etc.
It is also important to note that this book was written in the USA where the rules about food preservation are heavily prescribed by the USDA. (Elsewhere in the world people happily and safely water bath foods that they do not in the US.)
There are also methods she does not mention (salting, smoking and curing in clay etc) but she covers the main ones that people will be familiar with. And she gives many good tips for those methods.
You will still need to consult recipes and the operating manuals for various equipment you might use. This book is a great introduction for people who have maybe done very little of this and will benefit from her tips. For some people the tips on just freezing and refrigerating various foods to reduce waste and maintain the food nutrition will be a great first step.
Not everyone will do all of the methods and not everyone will follow all of her tips but it is a great book to have the overview of the methods, the whys and the “do nots” so you can decide which methods to try. There is a nice intro to the history of food preservation techniques in the beginning.
I especially liked the tips on what to do in advance (plan what to grow, plan to harvest it, plan to store it, keep track of it!) and the tips for time management.
I can recommend this book. Even though I have done most of this for years, it is a good refresher for me and I picked up some ideas. I think it would be a great gift!
The book is well written and the tone is confident and friendly. It is well laid out in chapters with a review at the end of each one and a table of contents.
I enjoyed reading it. Nicely written.""
