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 increase your food security.

So register now at homesteadingfamily.com forward slash podcast

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.

and I have done for years. And it has saved us so many times, saved us trips to the grocery

store, saved us money, saved us time. And just, it always feels great to know that

you have a good supply of food in your home, ready for you whenever you need it. So today we're

going to be speaking to David. He's the founder and CEO of Azure Standard. David began farming organically as a teenager in the 1970s with a passion
