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

hours sweating over hot canners and using untested recipes that resulted in wasted food. But while I can't go back in time, I can share

what I've learned over the years with you guys. So I'm hosting a free live online training

coming up on Thursday, June 19th, all about preserving. I'm sharing the lessons I wish I'd learn sooner, how to decide which preserving methods

to use when, and the basic steps to my top seven methods, and what you can do right now

to increase your food security.

So register now at homesteadingfamily.com forward slash podcast

dash live training. That's all one word. Now don't worry if you can't actually make it to the

live event, remember, it's online. You don't have to show up in person. But if you can't make it

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.

It's kind of touched around the edges of it.

And that is blending your own teas, making your own tea blends. And this week we're

going to be joined by a really special guest. She is a good friend of mine. And we have

gotten to watch her business grow over the last couple years, and that is

Cianne from Farmhouse Tees. Now, Cianna's wife to the farmer and mama to four adopted children.

She helps farm-loven families turn common herbs into powerful medicines without the fuss to create health and wellness for their families.

In 2014, Sianz family left their small city lot for a two-acre farm outside of town.
