Destination Preservation is a new TV docuseries exploring Food Preservation and Security, with stories that delve into American food heritage and NextGen preservation methods, and is designed to reconnect audiences with their food sources.
Sarah Thrush, current #1 selling book author of “Canning with a Purpose” and nationally-renowned food preservation expert, will host each episode. Ohio film company Humble Hero Films will head the production teams.
In the format of an episodic TV show, Sarah Thrush and the Humble Hero production team will travel to story locations, from urban homesteads to inner city micro farms, home kitchens, restaurants and food production facilities, interviewing unique people and exploring the histories and cultures behind the sources of our food.
“Americans are waking up from our grocery store coma and realizing the importance of knowing where our food comes from and how we can preserve our food for our family,” Thrush said.
“As the host of Destination Preservation, I am honored to share these powerful stories of resilience and innovation. Each episode showcases the incredible efforts of individuals and communities working towards a more sustainable and equitable food system,” she added.
Destination Preservation is “not just another cooking show,” Humble Hero Films producer Ken McCaw explained.
“It is about food before it is prepared… where it comes from and how it is preserved. Destination Preservation will show how various cultures have maintained their food sources, even in difficult times, and will demonstrate conventional and NextGen ways to provide food for our families,” McCaw said.
The pilot for Destination Preservation will be shot later this year, with episodes following shortly. Destination Preservation is being funded by corporate sponsorship and by equity crowdfunding through Netcapital.
Sarah Thrush is an annual speaker at the Food Independence Summit, held every June in Ohio’s Amish country in Walnut Creek.
The Food Independence Summit’s co-founder, John Miller of Superb Sealing, is part of the management team for Destination Preservation TV.
