Daniel Gasteiger, Author of Yes, You Can! And Freeze and Dry, Too.

Daniel Gasteiger is a social media marketing consultant who nearly plants more stuff in his tiny vegetable plot than gardening books recommend for plots four times as large.

He learned canning and jelly making in his mom’s kitchen when “preservation” meant pouring melted wax on fruit preserves.

Daniel preserves produce from his garden and from local farmers’ markets, putting up more each year as he tries to improve the quality of ingredients that go into his home-cooked meals.

He maintains three blogs related to gardening and preserving: Your Small Kitchen Garden, Your Home Kitchen Garden, and Food Dryer Home.

Gasteiger, his wife, and three children live in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
