🍅 From harvest to jar, we’ll show you how to make homemade tomato sauce from fresh or frozen tomatoes—and how to can it safely. You’ll see which tomato varieties work best, how many pounds you’ll need, and what to do with underripe ones.
We’ll walk through milling, thickening, seasoning (or leaving it plain), and preserving the sauce. We use a pressure canner—always following safe guidelines for home canning.

🌱 About Me: Hi, I’m Cortney — an organic gardener (Upstate South Carolina zone 8a), homeschooling single mom of three, and passionate advocate for growing high-value food in small spaces. After nearly two decades of growing my own food, I hit a breaking point. I was burned out, overwhelmed, and trying to live a homesteading dream that no longer fit my life.
When I downsized from 3.5 acres and 28 raised beds to a small, manageable garden, everything changed. I built a system that fits my real-life schedule — and now I help other busy families do the same.
If you're feeling like you don’t have enough time, space, or experience to grow your own food — you’re not alone. You don’t need a huge property or hours of free time to take control of your health, grocery budget, and food security. You just need a plan that actually works for your life.
Now I teach practical, high-impact gardening strategies so you can grow more food with less space, less stress, and more joy — starting right where you are.
