Our Mission

Practical Food Preparedness

Do you want to safeguard against shortages—without lining your walls with expensive, commercial freeze-dried food kits?

Whether the shelves are bare or food prices are simply beyond budget, we want to help you become more self-sufficient apart from the grocery store. 

Survival food kits are nice, but if you want to feed your family “normal” food, we’d like to show you how to build wonderful meals around home-preserved and (often) shelf-stable foods.

Our Discovery

Food Storage Can Be Simple

You don’t have to be a “doomsday prepper” to prepare your family for the hard times on the horizon. 

There are simple ways to build a working pantry that allow you to eat what you store and store what you eat. 

We’ll share all of these discoveries and more on the blog. Come join us! 

The Food Prep Guide Team

Stacy Farrell

Researcher, author, and lifelong learner, Stacy entered the world of food prep and storage in the crazy days of 2020.

She joined a gleaning co-op, a friend offered to instruct her, and a local grocer offered her clearance produce in bulk. And so the adventure began!

Turns out, she loves processing and preserving food.

Author of 10+ books—including the award-winning homeschool curriculum Philosophy Adventure—Stacy loves to equip and encourage families as they seek to steward their blessings.

Jordan Mitchell

Jordan's food prep journey began with a dehydrator, which morphed into canning, which then grew into creating complete meals in jars.

Living on a 3-acre homestead in "nowheresville," she and her family of 5 live a frugal lifestyle and DIY as much as they can.

What started as a hobby turned into a way of life that has sustained them—by God's amazing grace—through hard times and tight budgets.
