For most of us gardener's around the country, we're currently sitting in that honeymoon phase. It's that time where everything is starting to grow and looking beautiful, but nothing is ready to harvest. However, before we know it the time will be upon us. In this season of the Old Fashioned on Purpose podcast, I'm going to make sure you are able to maximize your bounty while discussing one of my favorite topics in the world; food preservation. Today I'm thrilled to be joined by an expert in colonial food preservation methods, my good friend Jonathan Townsend. In this episode Jonathan discusses a wide range of techniques including many you'll already be familiar with, but he also dives into some very interesting methods like potted meats and smoking. Tune in to find out how you can integrate some of these colonial practices into your modern homestead in order to enhance your preservation methods and better prepare yourself for those long winter months.
