Our journey began with a profound desire to empower individuals and communities to reclaim control over their food sources.

Our mission resonates deeply with our personal values, as we believe in the transformative power of education and storytelling. Beyond just offering products or services, our brand serves a greater purpose: to ignite a passion for self-sufficiency and resilience.

Through sharing narratives about food preservation, security, and sovereignty, we aim to inspire change and foster a deeper connection with food. We envision our brand making a significant impact by empowering diverse communities across the country to embrace self-sufficiency and create a more resilient food system for generations to come. The series format includes unique personalities, untold stories, and humor to both entertain and educate.

• Established partnership and creative teams.
• Completed production and post-production of trailer video.
• Fundraising campaign initiated.
• Pre-production for The Pilot (Episode 1) is planned to commence upon securing funding.
• Pilot episode is planned to immediately be used to seek distribution opportunities.

In a world where food security is increasingly at risk, we believe our company serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment.

The problem of food insecurity is both urgent and complex, affecting millions globally. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, 1 in 9 people around the world are undernourished, indicating a widespread issue of access to adequate nutrition. In stark contrast, the USDA reports that 40% of food produced in the U.S. goes to waste. This juxtaposition of hunger and waste highlights a severe imbalance in our food systems.

Additionally, there is a growing disconnect between people and their food sources. Many individuals are increasingly detached from the origins of their meals, leading to a loss of traditional culinary knowledge and heritage. This detachment not only erodes cultural identities but also contributes to unsustainable food practices.

Addressing food insecurity requires a multifaceted approach. It involves not only improving food distribution and reducing waste but also reconnecting people with their food heritage. By preserving and honoring culinary traditions, we can foster a deeper appreciation for food, encourage sustainable practices, and strengthen community bonds.

The gravity of the food insecurity issue demands immediate and comprehensive action.

We must work towards securing our food sources, reducing waste, and reclaiming our collective culinary identity. Only through such concerted efforts can we hope to forge a future where no one goes hungry.

Our solution to the pressing issue of food security is multifaceted.

Destination Preservation offers simple yet effective solutions to reclaim control over food sources. How we source our food from do-it-yourself urban to rural farming will be explored. How we preserve our food from traditional preservation techniques like canning, fermenting and meat smoking, to modern innovations like freeze drying, vacuum sealing and modified atmospheric packaging will highlight individuals and groups who demonstrate the safeguarding of their food supplies.

Imagine a world where families can confidently preserve seasonal abundance to sustain them through leaner times.

That's the reality we're striving for. Our series not only provides practical guidance but also fosters a sense of connection and resilience. We aim to evoke emotions of empowerment, nostalgia, and hope as viewers rediscover the lost art of food preservation.

With each episode, we plan to share heartwarming, and sometimes humorous stories of individuals who have transformed their lives through food preservation.

From urban homesteaders to rural farmers, Destination Preservation demonstrates how food security is an attainable goal.

Our brand aims to forge a deep emotional connection with customers, tapping into their innate desire for security, sustainability, and self-sufficiency. Through authentic storytelling and relatable content, we inspire viewers to take action and become agents of change in their own communities.

Our intent is to fund the initial development of Destination Preservation through crowdfunding and possible product placements. Additionally, we plan to explore partnerships and sponsorships with aligned companies in the sustainable food and living industry.

Planned Revenue Streams

1. Initial stage: Crowdfunding.
2. Sponsorships: Partnering with brands for product placements and sponsorships.
3. Merchandise: Offering branded merchandise such as host Sarah Thrush’s best seller “Preservation with a Purpose”, food preservation kits, music, related products and apparel to our viewers.
4. Licensing: Licensing our content for distribution on other platforms or for international markets.

Through multi channel revenue streams, we aim to create a sustainable and impactful business model while delivering valuable television content and merchandise to our audience.

We believe our docuseries, Destination Preservation, is well-positioned to capitalize on this market opportunity by providing engaging and educational content that resonates with a wide audience.

The growth in the food preservation market is driven by increasing consumer awareness and concerns about food waste, environmental sustainability, and the desire for healthier, locally sourced foods. With more people seeking ways to preserve and enjoy seasonal produce year-round, there is a growing demand for education and resources in this space.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened interest in food security and self-sufficiency, leading to a surge in home gardening and food preservation activities, according to the National Gardening Association.

Through our storytelling and practical tips, we aim to empower individuals and communities to embrace food preservation as a means of enhancing food security, sustainability, and self-reliance.

Press releases are forthcoming. Currently, we have released teaser trailers for both investors and audiences. Docuseries host, Sarah Thrush, has several press mentions.
