​What is the best canning method for beginners?
For beginners, the water bath canning method is the easiest and most reliable way to start preserving food. This method is ideal for high-acid foods such as fruits, jams, jellies, and pickles. Here’s why it’s great for those new to canning:
  • Minimal Equipment: You only need a large pot, canning jars, lids, and a rack.
  • Simple Steps: Fill sterilized jars with your prepared food, seal them with lids, and submerge the jars in boiling water for a specified time to create a vacuum seal.
  • Beginner-Friendly: High-acid foods naturally resist bacterial growth, making this method both safe and accessible for new canners.
Our Nourishing Traditions Course offers in-depth tutorials, step-by-step guides, and expert tips to help you confidently master canning.

​How do I start fermenting at home?
Fermenting at home is easier than you might think, and it’s one of the best ways to introduce beneficial probiotics into your diet. Here’s how to get started:
  1. Choose Your Ingredients: Start with vegetables like cabbage (for sauerkraut) or cucumbers (for pickles).
  2. Use Saltwater Brine: Create a brine with water and salt to promote fermentation and preserve the vegetables.
  3. Submerge and Wait: Pack your vegetables tightly in a jar, ensuring they’re fully submerged in the brine. Cover with a lid or fermentation weight.
  4. Fermentation Time: Leave the jar at room temperature for a few days to weeks, depending on your taste preferences.
Fermentation is covered extensively in Week 2 of our Nourishing Traditions Course, with easy-to-follow videos and troubleshooting tips for beginners.

​What is the difference between pasteurized and raw dairy?
The main difference between pasteurized and raw dairy lies in the processing:
  • Pasteurized Dairy: Heated to high temperatures to kill bacteria, but this process also destroys many beneficial enzymes and probiotics.
  • Raw Dairy: Untreated milk in its natural state, retaining all enzymes, probiotics, and nutrients. When sourced from healthy, grass-fed cows, raw milk is nutrient-dense and safe for consumption.
Our course covers raw dairy in depth, teaching you how to make nutrient-rich products like yogurt, kefir, and cream cheese from raw milk.

​What’s the easiest way to start canning?
If you’re new to canning, start with small-batch recipes and simple equipment. Here’s how:

  • Start with High-Acid Foods: Jams, pickles, and salsas are perfect beginner projects.
  • Use a Water Bath Canner: This method doesn’t require expensive equipment and is ideal for beginners.
  • Follow Tested Recipes: Use trusted sources like the USDA’s canning guide or recipes from our Nourishing Traditions Course.
Canning can be incredibly rewarding and is a key skill we teach in Week 3 of our course.

​How can I get my kids involved in cooking?
Getting kids involved in cooking is not only fun but also teaches them valuable life skills. Here’s how to get started:
  • Choose Age-Appropriate Tasks: Younger kids can wash vegetables, mix ingredients, or sprinkle seasoning, while older kids can chop, measure, and follow simple recipes.
  • Make It Fun: Turn cooking into an adventure by involving them in choosing recipes or creating themes for meals.
  • Teach the Basics: Explain where food comes from and why certain cooking techniques (like fermenting or canning) are important.
Our course includes kid-friendly activities and recipes designed to help families reconnect in the kitchen while building lasting traditions.

​What is the best way to build a business based around my lifestyle and what I love doing?
Building a business aligned with your passion requires intentionality and strategy. Here are some key steps:
  • Identify Your Strengths: Determine what you love doing and how it can serve others (e.g., catering, food education, or recipe creation).
  • Start Small: Test your idea through pop-ups, workshops, or online content to gauge interest.
  • Create a Plan: Build a business plan that reflects your lifestyle goals, including strategies for scaling sustainably.
  • Automate and Delegate: To maintain balance, create systems and delegate tasks that don’t require your personal touch.
At Wylder Space, we offer resources and guidance for food entrepreneurs looking to create profitable, purpose-driven businesses rooted in their passions.
