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, this is Josh with homestating family and welcome to this week's

episode of the pantry chat, food for thought. This week, I'm excited to have our guest, Franklin

Sanders, with us today. Franklin Sanders has been with us before and excited to have him back. We're going to be talking about the

future of gold and what we all need to know. Now, this is a subject that we don't talk about a whole

lot, but it's in line with the homesteading mentality and the way we think about resources and assets. And I definitely think gold and silver

should be at least a part of all of our strategy in building up our homesteads and building up

value and wealth within those homesteads. So excited to have Franklin on. He's a wealth of knowledge. I've known him for

about 13 years now. And we'll look forward to joining him in just a moment. But first, we need to say

thanks to our sponsor. And this week, our sponsor is Laman's. Laman's is family owned and operated
