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 is kind of a big topic, and we may be a little pushed for time in this,

but we thought we'd really like to cover this, you know, a lot as a follow-up to the conversation

we had a couple weeks ago about how much meat you need to put, how many animals you need to raise in order to have enough

meat for a year for your household and so this is kind of a follow-up on that idea yeah and there's a lot

of rules of thumb there's no one-size-fits-all depends on your family depends on the land a lot of

depends as you hear and people don't like that but that's that's the. But we've got a lot of good rules of thumb that can help you come up
