Hey you guys, it's Carolyn from homesteading family. Now I've been preserving food for almost two decades,

and there are times I wish I could go back to my younger self and tell her what I now know. I wasted so many

even online on Thursday, June 19th, there will be a replay,

but you do have to be registered for this free event even to get access to the replay.
