In this episode of Know Your Food with Wardee, my guest is Jane, the Mom With A Prep. A few years ago, Jane began to feel unprepared for any kind of emergency that could affect her family. So she, along with her husband and children, began getting prepared through learning healthy cooking, self-sufficiency, and survival skills. Jane has a special place in her heart for equipping children with important survival skills, and you’ll see this come up again and again as we visit.
Get to know Jane and her family through the links and information below, and of course through this podcast. Plus… the tip of the week!

About Jane, Mom With A Prep

“I’m Jane. I’m just a mom who has come to believe her family wasn’t really for whatever emergency shook their world, whether it was from a job loss, a natural disaster, or something even bigger. So, I’m working getting my family prepared, the best I can, one step at a time, while bringing my children along on the journey and learning along with them. We focus on adjusting our diet, getting ourselves healthy, learning new survival and self-sufficiency skills, and dream of the day when we can be free on land of our own.”
