Diane Devereaux, The Canning Diva®, is a Michigan native who started canning her thirteenth year. She immediately grew a passion for the art of home canning and preserving and started her own garden at the mere age of fifteen. It was at this young age she learned the many benefits of natural pest control; crop rotation and healthy soil factors; heirloom seed production and collection; healthy meal creation and, of course, preserving her garden’s beautiful bounty.
She received her Bachelor Degree in International Business from Davenport University and has spent many years developing her talent for business. During this time Diane experienced a rewarding career in disaster management which gave her the ability to utilize her skills in food preservation, survival and sustainability. Her tenure in home canning combined with her background in disaster management led her to create The Canning Diva® where she is free to blend her passion for gardening and preserving with her knowledge of preparedness and self-reliance.
Diane has made it her goal to teach these time-honored traditions throughout West Michigan at various culinary schools and commercial kitchens. She hosted a weekly radio show on The Survival Mom Radio Network and Radio for Divas sharing her knowledge of home canning, preserving and disaster preparedness with daily airing on Prepper Broadcasting. Diane also hosted an online streaming show, Canning with The Diva™, on AroundtheCabin.com allowing viewers a venue to learn and interact via live chat.
The Canning Diva® has been featured in various magazines such as Flavor616, Women’s Lifestyle, West Michigan Women and Natural Awakenings and has made several TV appearances on WZZM Channel 13 Healthy You, WOODTV8 Eight West, WZZM Take Five & Company and FOX17 News demonstrating home canning techniques and signature recipes.
