Homestead Preservation – Jeremy and Stacey Hill

In this episode of Farm to Table Talk, Rodger interviewed Jeremy and Stacey Hill about their homesteading practices and food preservation techniques. The Hills, who operate Gooseberry Bridge Farm in Missouri, shared their journey from suburban gardening to homesteading a 12-acre farm with dairy cows, goats, pigs, and an extensive vegetable garden. They discussed their use of freeze-drying as a modern preservation method, explaining how it maintains food quality and allows for shelf-stable storage. The couple also described their agritourism business, which offers educational farm visits for families. Throughout the conversation, Jeremy and Stacey emphasized the importance of starting small with food preservation and encouraged listeners to explore local food networks and farmers markets. They share what they’ve learned on the podcast and their new book: The Preservation Garden – How to grow a garden for fermenting, canning, pickling, dehydrating, and freeze drying.
