🥫 Last chance to join the Food Preservation Summit
Food Preservation Summit Starts TomorrowJust a quick reminder in case you meant to sign up for the Food Preservation Summit and haven’t had a chance yet. This 3-day free online event from The School of Traditional Skills focuses on the practical skills many of us are trying to build right now: preserving food, stocking the pantry, making more from what we already have, and wasting less. If rising grocery prices have you looking at canning, dehydrating, fermenting, or building a deeper pantry, this is a good place to start. The summit includes practical food-preservation training from experienced homesteaders and traditional-skills teachers. It’s especially helpful if you want to feel more confident putting up seasonal produce, stretching your grocery budget, and learning safe ways to preserve food at home. I like this event for beginners because you don’t need a huge garden, a full homestead, or years of experience to get started. Even learning one new preservation skill this summer can help you save money and feel more prepared heading into fall.
Registration closes soon, so take a look today if this is something you’ve been meaning to do. Warmly, |

A few jars now can make winter meals feel a little easier later. Food Preservation Summit July 6 through July 8 Quick note: There’s also a free food preservation summit coming up from...
This newsletter contains affiliate links. Hey friend, Every summer, I forget this part. Everyone’s outside more. The snacks disappear faster. And the berries, sandwiches, muffins, leftovers and “quick” meals don’t last nearly as long as I think they will. Yet somehow, even with the garden growing and the pantry stocked, the grocery bill still starts creeping up. That’s when I know it’s time for a reset. Not a big dramatic one. Just a simple look at what we already have, what we can stretch,...
This newsletter contains affiliate links. Hey friend, July 4 weekend is almost here, and just like with our Canada Day meal planning, I know you want food that feels special without turning into a whole production. Not a huge meal plan. Not a full day in the kitchen. Just a few easy and sweet summer ideas for brunch, berries and slow weekend mornings. So today I’m keeping it simple with three reads you can use before the weekend gets busy. The Free Food Preservation Summit runs July 6 - 8...
