Aloha! I’m Kris Bordessa, author and certified Master Food Preserver, hobby farmer, gardener, chicken wrangler, and eternal experimenter.

I’m thrilled that my book, Attainable Sustainable: The Lost Art of Self-Reliant Living (National Geographic Books) was awarded the best how-to book of 2020 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors.
