GrowCookPreserve

Hi! I’m Kelly Schradin; I’m a biology professor, gardener, cook, beekeeper, and lifelong learner sharing a slower, more intentional way of living through food, ecology, and seasonal abundance.

Grow Cook Preserve follows the connection between healthy soil, diverse ecosystems, homegrown ingredients, preservation, and deeply practical everyday cooking. From prairie plantings and pollinator support to fire-roasted sauces, fermentation, soups, mushrooms, and pantry building, this channel is about creating systems that are resilient, flavorful, and sustainable.

Not self-sufficiency. Not perfection. Just thoughtful stewardship and making the most of what the land provides.
