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.

excited about learning more about it. So today we have Chris Gilmore with us. And we're going to be

talking all about growing mushrooms at home. So here we go. Chris,

welcome. Hey, so nice to be here. This is fun. I love this. Yeah, this is a great one. I think it's

something that people are looking at more and more as the word has gotten out that growing mushrooms

is maybe not as hard as we all thought it might have been. Yeah. And it really,
