About us
Micro-Homesteading Education was founded by Katilyn Prickett and Christina Jewell, sisters with a combined 35 years of experience in horticulture, animal husbandry, and food preservation. Growing up on a farm, they learned the value of hard work and self-sufficiency at a young age and have always had a passion for growing and preserving their own food.
Our Mission
At Micro-Homesteading Education, we believe in starting small and doing what you can with the resources you have. Our goal is to share practical, easy-to-learn skills that empower individuals and families to achieve food stability and self-sustainability.
Whether you’re learning how to garden, preserve your harvest, or raise healthy animals, we offer beginner-friendly content to guide you every step of the way.
What We Teach
We aim to help families achieve food stability by alleviating the learning curve. We want to help our readers develop the skills they need to succeed on their micro-homesteading journey, including quickly learning gardening proficiency and the art of freeze drying. We want to share the comfort that can be gained from having a full pantry without the overwhelm that comes from full-scale homesteading.
We are committed to teaching the skills that are essential to creating and maintaining a micro-homestead. Our areas of expertise include:
- Growing Nutritious Food: From vegetables and fruits to herbs.
- Raising Healthy Animals: Chickens, rabbits, and bees.
- Preserving the Harvest: Via freeze-drying, canning, and more.
- Making Healthy Meals: Using pantry-stored ingredients to create wholesome meals.
Our Promise
We’re here to help you alleviate the learning curve. Whether you want to master gardening, the art of freeze-drying, or simply learn more about self-sustainability, we provide easy, actionable steps so you can gradually grow your skills.
We hope that our content will inspire and empower you to start your own micro-homesteading journey and experience the joy and peace that comes from growing and storing your own nutritious food.
