Description

“Unless you try to do something beyond that which you have already mastered, you will never grow.”  – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Preserving the harvest is an age-old custom, the skills passed down generation to generation, to ensure food security in times of scarcity and bountiful nutrition even in the depths of winter.

But in our modern world of convenience, those skills are harder to learn and reliable mentors harder to find. My grandmother was a prodigious canner, but somehow I never learned what she knew so I figured it out on my own. Let me help you skip the anxiety and worry and the steep learning curve. I’ll be the mentor you need to encourage you to try new things, learn what you need to know, and do the work to feed your family the very best you can.

Pressure canning can be intimidating, even for seasoned canners (this was definitely me). I think it’s the image of exploding canners that makes it seem such a daunting hurdle to surmount (am I right?).

So let me walk you through the process, step-by-step-by-step. I’ll show you how I learned, teach you everything you need to know, and help you practice so you’ll be ready to do it on your own (no explosions necessary).

In this class, we’ll start by canning chicken stock or bone broth. In my book, shelf-stable bone broth is a pantry staple. I use it for everything from soups and stews to cooking rice. With the skills and knowledge you learn in this hands-on 2-hour class, you’ll be ready to venture out on your own.

You will learn:

  • To safely use the pressure canner step-by-step
  • All about the equipment you need
  • To find & vet reliable resources for pressure canning recipes
  • To appropriately manage food safety while canning

You’ll also have the opportunity to:

  • Tour my pantry and gather ideas of what to can to feed your own family
  • Ask all the questions about all the things
  • Take home fresh homemade chicken stock you’ve helped can yourself

You’ll be equipped – and empowered – with the knowledge, training, and practice you need to enhance your food security and expand your self-sufficiency. You’ll be ready to take the next step in your home-canning journey.

Come connect with your farmer, learn new skills, mingle with like-minded people committed to wholesome food, and come away with an increased appreciation for nutrient-dense shelf-stable ingredients to feed your family all winter long.

Date & Time: Tuesday, September 27th 10:00am-12:00pm

Class Fee: $50 per person; includes 2 hours of workshop and instruction, a tour of my pantry staples, my favorite pressure-canning recipes & list of resources, and a quart of fresh, homemade shelf-stable chicken stock you helped can yourself.

Space is limited.

This is how I feel every time I look at the pantry shelves, filling slowly but surely, bit by bit.

Summer’s bounty + hard work (and plenty of hot sweaty days in the kitchen) means my family will eat like kings all winter long.

It’s such a blessing to know these skills and get to pass them along.

I drove down to the vet’s to pick up meds for a sick heifer and since it takes me right through Amish country, I couldn’t resist stopping at a farm just off the road to pick up 10 quarts of small but luscious berries (the small ones are sweetest, I think).

Are you making jam this year? What’s your favorite fruit to use for jam? I loooove apricot jam, but have a hard time finding local apricots here in Ohio. If you know of a source - spill the beans!🤣

It took a lot of work to get here, and takes a lot of work to stay here, but working hard for something you love isn’t a burden. Instead it builds confidence, self-respect, resilience, and stamina.

Go, friends. Work your tails off at work worth doing. And stop every now and again to take stock of all you’ve accomplished and all you’ve learned. It’ll blow your socks off and give you the gumption to do the next hard and worthwhile thing.

Every farm needs a barn cat. We’ve noticed a hug Every farm needs a barn cat. We’ve noticed a huge difference between the years we’ve had barn cuts and the years we haven’t. They’re essential.
.
And yet, I’m pretty sure my kids all think we keep barn cats for the kittens.
.
There’s a new litter every spring and so far we’ve always been able to give enough away to keep from being overrun. Their momma, Scout, is a phenomenal mouser (and catches birds and squirrels and chipmunks too) and earns her keep many times over.
.
So much so that when she decides to give birth, she finds a spot in the basement and we let her come and go as she pleases while the kittens are teeny. That in itself is a testament to her place on the farm.
.
Are you team barn cat? How many do you have?
