Hear What Students Have to Say

Vanessa grew up in and out of her grandparents garden… but the lessons didn’t translate. By the time she was old enough to understand the value of growing your food, she was basically starting from scratch.

Enter 2020 and the push to grow her own food was strong. She dug in, did a ton of research and worked hard but… her garden didn’t get the memo. She barely got a salad! lol I know I can relate to that... year after year after year!

In January 2021 Vanessa came across my Instagram and immediately joined my program.

In just a few short months of working together, we simplified what she was doing. She began pulling off an abundance of food daily + growing foods she had never succeed at growing before - like broccoli.

Best of all, she had learned how to set up her garden so that it would produce without her. And pretty much did it for free!

Her 2023 garden plans include two (house + cabin) + she’s confident she will be able to pull it off with the strategies learned through the program.

Ileana came to me in early spring 2022 - so overwhelmed.

She wanted simple. She needed a clear action plan that she could follow.

So she joined and within literally hours, she was messaging me in tears. It was everything she needed. I was there to answer her questions, we dove into specific issues for her and found clarity in what she needed.

The end result? Growing her own food, preserving it, and even spreading her newfound knowledge out into her community!

“Thank you Steph! I really appreciate your accessibility + breaking it down so simply. Your tips are amazing and truly, I just love all the simplicity to bring to this! Your support this far has been exactly what I needed to get me past my feelings of being stuck and not knowing where or how to start! Worth the investment big time! Thank you for doing what you do!” - Ileana Grgic

Then there's Nathan - a 73 year old pensioner living in an apartment in BC. 

“Thank you so much, Stephanie, for making this course available. It’s going to help thousands of people! Hardly anyone I know has even done canning before. It’s stimulated me to ‘do something’ and I’ve been so busy doing just that! 

I’ve taken your strategies and worksheets and done it. So simple! Now I’ve realized I no longer need to go to the grocery store for many things and I can see just what and how it fits my budget! I feel pretty good having done even just this small bit, which has actually taken me quite far! 

You are a pure delight and I’ve so much enjoyed your program. Your advice has been fantastic. Thank you so much for your program!"

Here’s what you need to know:

 This is for you if...

  •  You are concerned about the state of the world and don’t want to feel like a pawn again. (Same)
  •  You want to provide nutritious food but feel like you need acres of land. (F that sh*t)
  •  You’ve grown a few things but canning makes you nervous. (Don’t let great-grandma hear you say that)
  •  You want to cook from scratch but don’t think your family will like it. (Recipes that will have your chicken-nugget loving kids wanting more)
  •  You've got the foraging books but are afraid you'll mistake a plant that will kill you. (It won’t)
  •  You want to use herbal remedies but feel so overwhelmed at where to start. (Seriously, plants won’t kill you… ok some of them will but we’ll save those for the “do not like” list.)
  •  You want to become self-sufficient but it must involve huge outlays of cash. (Hello, I saved $10,000+ on groceries this year!)
  •  You want to be financial independent but don’t know what to do. (Oh this is going to be fuuuuuuuun!!)
  •  You want a local community but don’t know who you can trust for help. (Hi! It’s me!)

 

THE BASICS will take the overwhelm out of detaching from the system + allow you to focus on LIVING life. Gaining more by doing less.
