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.

Hey, you guys, and welcome to this week's episode of the pantry chat, food for thought.

This week, I am very excited to have a really fun guest on with us.

You guys know that over the last few years, I've started using my home freeze dryer a lot for

preservation. And the more I use it, the more I love it, the more things I find to do with it. So,

I wanted to talk with HarvestRite today and dive into some of the questions that a lot of you guys have

expressed to me about freeze drying. So I'm excited to go ahead and introduce Matt Neville from

Harvestrite. Hello, Matt. Thanks for joining us. Yeah, Carolyn, I'm really excited to be here today.

This is exciting. So tell me what you do for Har. Yeah, Carolyn, I'm really excited to be here today. This is exciting.

So tell me what you do for Harvest Wright.
