So your pantry may be getting stocked but do you know how to save seed and then sow that true seed again each year? What is a 'true' seed? Will seeds I buy anywhere work in MY climate? My guest Chris answers these and many more questions. You'll enjoy learning from him, so stay tuned to the end!
Chris Smith is an enthusiastic grower and permaculture student from a green-thumbed family! And I am delighted once again to get to spend time with him and share it with you!
On his ½ acre micro-farm, Chris is experimenting with landraces, selective seed saving, crop trials and seed grow outs. With a newborn in the family, the importance of resilient food systems is high in his mind. Chris works at Sow True Seed in Asheville, NC as the Community Coordinator and is active in promoting good quality, regionally adapted open-pollinated seed.

It dawned on me the other day that for years I've been teaching back to basics cooking, real food recipes and not once did I ever consider the beginning of someone's journey.
Transitioning your 'typical' convenience kitchen to a back to basics, whole food kitchen really does have a starting point and some simple steps along the way. Here are the points that I'll cover in this episode:
Start with just ONE item first!Read LabelsBuy Ingredients OnlyLearn to salvage mistakesPrepare for the dishesLearn how to create your own make-ahead secret weaponsStock your pantry and plan by what's on handPlay with your food!
Remember, just because you may not have been gifted with the domestic gene or raised by Betty Crocker - You can do this! If I can, anyone can!
Best Blessings!

We are happy to have Tammy Trayer of Trayer Wilderness with us as a host on Your Preparation Station. In today’s show, Tammy will continues with #LivingWithIntention so that we all stay on track creating new habits, being true to ourselves and our goals and fulfilling those New Year’s Resolutions. It all starts with Getting Our Schedule Under Control!
How did you do last week with your homework? Did you really think about how you spend your time and how you can better implement these three things in your life? #LivingWithIntention #BeTrue2Jesus #BeTrue2Self
I feel that as we incorporate these goals into our lives we will start to see our purpose in this life or if we know what that is already it will become more focused. If we are still on this earth, it is because God is not done with us yet. We have a greater purpose in this life!
Some weeks are going to be harder than others as life is, going to happens BUT every week we can all hone ourselves back in together here!
The unique thing about this journey we are on is that we have the ability to influence so many people. Do you want to be a positive or negative influence? We have the power to change lives and change the world on this journey.

Many conveniences have replaced some of the tried and true gadgets of the past. But this also means we've lost some skills by relying on simply pressing a button or flipping a switch.
In this episode of The Back to Basics Kitchen, I'll share some of my favorite multi-tasking off-grid, non-electrical gadgets for the kitchen. You'll be surprised how useful they are and how they're making a comeback!

The Food Network may have it’s own Grocery Game (with one of my favorite chef’s Guy Feiri) but it’s no fun when we don’t realize the game is being played on us while we shop in the local grocery store! We have become pretty dependent upon them for our food supply.
While I will always encourage growing as much food as you possibly can yourself, there’s no denying that we often have to shop at the grocery store. But with these 12 Tips to Outsmart the Grocery Store at its Own Game – you can avoid being ‘taken’ by the way the store is set up, the music they play, the ‘sales’ that aren’t sales and find ways to beat them at their own grocery game!
Best Blessings & EnJOY the show,

I’ll admit feeling like a kid when I watch the videos on their site of how easy these things ‘inflate’. They may remind you of a ‘bouncy house’ – but they are far from child's play! The Life Cube has a myriad of applications from large scale disaster to simplified camping. I had the opportunity to interview Nick Pederson to get the scoop on this revolutionary building.
Nick Pedersen is the Business Development Manager for Life Cube, Inc. A former student of UC Santa Barbara’s Entrepreneurship School, he partnered with Michael Conner, President of Life Cube, to explore the feasibility of Michael’s technology. After winning the New Venture Competition, he joined the company full-time to acquire the early stage investments that allowed the company to build the first set of prototypes, expose the product to government agencies around the country, and expand the core team. Alongside this amazing team in Santa Barbara, California, Nick works every day to spread the vital message of preparedness.

Part of building your Back to Basics Kitchen is stocking the pantry. One of the keys to stocking it is keeping a budget. But do coupons freak you out? Seem like a waste of time?
On this episode I talk with the creator of a tool that I've used for YEARS! If couponing ever confused or overwhelmed you, you may like this free website!
Jenny Martin is the writer behind SouthernSavers.com, one of the leading frugal living websites in the South. Her goal is to teach a purposeful, relaxed approach to saving money on almost everything you buy. As a mom of four little girls eight and under, Jenny’s focus is on finding ways to coupon, deal hunt, and shop in the quickest, most time conserving manner – that way you can get back to what’s truly important, like playing games and coloring with the kids!

I had a great time getting to meet Abby personally when I persuaded her to come and teach at one of our local Preparedness Meetings. Her style of teaching was so 'hands on' even for a classroom setting that everyone walked away learning so much - and she has so much MORE to share!
Listen to this episode and get in contact with Abby to learn even more of what the forest provides for us!
