Welcome to the Strawberry Pantry
Hi, I’m Meg — the voice behind The Strawberry Pantry. I live in Zone 6, where the seasons keep you guessing and the garden always has a mind of its own. Over the years, I’ve learned that you don’t need acres of land or fancy equipment to fill a pantry with homemade goodness — just a bit of patience, a patch of dirt, and the courage to start small.
Here, I share beginner-friendly canning tips, garden planning ideas, and slow-living inspiration for families who want to reconnect with where their food comes from. Whether you’re tending your first tomato plant or trying to make sense of pressure canners and headspace, you’ll find simple, down-to-earth advice to guide you along the way.
Welcome to The Strawberry Pantry — where we grow, gather, and preserve the quiet joys of everyday life.
