About the Author

William Kinsey is a passionate home canner, gardener, and small business owner who believes that food preservation is more than a skill — it's a way of life.

With years of hands-on experience growing food, preserving harvests, and teaching practical self-sufficiency, William created Canning and Jarring Made Easy to remove the fear and confusion from home canning. His approach is simple, clear, and beginner-friendly, focusing on confidence, safety, and results you can be proud of.

As the founder of The Kinsey Greenhouse, William works daily with plants, food production, and customers who want to reconnect with growing and preserving their own food. Through this work, he has seen firsthand how empowering it can be to turn fresh produce into shelf-stable meals, sauces, jams, and more.

William's philosophy is straightforward: anyone can learn to can with the right guidance, patience, and practice. Whether you're preserving your first jar or filling an entire pantry, he believes the process should feel achievable, rewarding, and even enjoyable.

When he's not in the greenhouse or kitchen, William enjoys spending time with his wife and family, planning future harvests, and helping others build confidence in their homesteading and food-preservation journeys.
