Coaching Milestones

In the first month we'll:

  • Evaluate your household's preparedness goals, strengths, and weaknesses
  • Create a spreadsheet of the current food stockpile you have including total calories, total protein, and the number of people you could feed for one year along with targets for improvement
  • Identify the best spaces to store your long-term food, with storage options
  • Connect you with our favorite places to buy canned, freeze-dried, and bulk goods

Frequently Asked Questions


How much coaching time will I get in the first month? In subsequent months?
The best progress will come with 1-4 hours of initial consultation then 1-2 hours a week after that. Melissa will work between sessions to send you individualized resources, spreadsheets tracking your current food storage, and a binder with personalized resources to keep in your food storage area.


How do I schedule my first appointment?

Upon purchasing coaching, Melissa will be in touch within one business day to schedule your first session, which will be either via Zoom/Facetime or in person at Melissa's farm or your location, if within 45 minutes of Hickory, NC.


What's the rate per month after the first month?

You'll make a lot of progress in the first month if you're committed to building resilience, but Melissa is here to support you as long as help is needed for $500 a month. You might even pause the coaching plan for months when you don't have time, energy, or funds to devote to preparedness.
