If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because it is

packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better.

Hey pioneers and welcome to episode number 314. On today's episode, this is going to be your guide to preserving milk, cheese, eggs, and meat. Specifically, we are going to be talking about safety, about different

options, ones that require extra equipment or equipment that you probably wouldn't normally have in your home,

but then also ways that you can do it with equipment that most of us already have in our home

and also how to decide which is the best option based upon the end product and the way that you plan

on eating and consuming it.

So a jam-packed episode that I am thrilled to be talking with you today

about. Welcome to the Pioneering Today podcast. My name is Melissa K Norris. I'm your host. I'm a fifth generation homesteader, best-selling author of four books, including The Family Garden Plan. I have helped thousands of people to live a homegrown and

handmade life using simple modern homesteading for a helpful and self-sufficient life and I am thrilled that you are here and I hope to be able to help you as well.

So for today's episode I have really been looking at our home food preservation and in all

aspects of our life, it's my goal to improve or to increase what I'm doing a little bit every single year.

And you will find that as a theme running

throughout every single thing that I do.
