Hi, my name is Jacqui and I am a passionate homesteader, grower, and maker who believes that small, ethical actions can create big change. Through my workshops, I share practical skills with quiet confidence that comes from living close to the land — preserving food, growing abundantly, and making useful things with care and purpose.

My passion lies in helping others build lives and livelihoods that are both wholesome and sustainable — where honest work, community connection, and creativity come together. Whether I’m teaching home preserving, composting, seed saving or gardening, I pledge to do it with warmth and enthusiasm, and to remind everyone that self-reliance and generosity can go hand in hand.
