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, welcome to this week's edition of the pantry chat,

Food for Thought. I am very excited about today's topic. Today we're going to dive into

understanding viruses. And to really dive into that, we have Doc Jones joining us.

Now, many of you guys have already heard Doc Jones here or have maybe gone and visited him

over at his homegrown herbalist school of botanical medicine.

If you haven't, you really need to check him out.

Doc Jones is a practicing veterinarian, a clinical herbalist for humans and for animals, and a traditional naturopath.

He also practices as a clinical herbalist for man and beast.

For many years, he's seen the power of herbs bless the lives of his veterinary patients and his human clients.
