An Update on Seed to Plate (and Why I’m So Excited)

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence

Hi Reader

I wanted to send you a quick update on Seed to Plate as we move closer to the finish line.

As I’ve been finalizing the book with the printer, I made an important decision about the quality of the final product. This book is meant to be used — in the kitchen, in the garden, and season after season — not just read once and set aside. Because of that, I’ve chosen to upgrade the interior pages and cover so the book is sturdier, more durable, and easier to wipe clean.

What that means for you is a truly premium hardcover cookbook:
• Full color throughout
• Thicker, high-end pages
• Glossy, wipeable interior
• A durable hardcover built to last

It’s the kind of book you can leave open on the counter, bring out to the garden, and keep coming back to year after year.

With these upgrades, the printing cost increased significantly, so the book price is being adjusted to reflect the true cost of producing a high-quality, small-batch book. I wanted to be transparent with you about that — and also excited, because the finished book is going to be even better than I originally planned.

If you’ve already pre-ordered, nothing changes for you — you’re locked in, and I’m so grateful for your early support. If you’ve been on the fence, now is the perfect time to grab your copy and any remaining bonuses before ordering closes this week and the full pricing will be in effect after that.

This book has been years in the making, grown from real life, real gardens, and real meals around our family table. I cannot wait to hold it in my hands — and eventually see it in yours.

Thank you, truly, for supporting this project, this season of life, and this small homestead dream.

Warmly,
Laura

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World

Hi, I’m a homesteader in Northern Michigan with nearly 30 years of hands-on experience in self-sufficiency, natural living, and traditional skills. Over the years, I’ve built a life rooted in growing, making, and doing — and I love sharing what we do and how we do it to help others create their own empowered path.

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader There’s a quiet confidence that comes from knowing your pantry can turn into real meals. All this in my latest blog post. Not convenience food.Not boxes and mixes.But ingredients that become nourishment.

best seeds for your garden

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader It’s been one of those seasons around here. We’ve been constantly bombarded with snow, and keeping up has been a full-time job—shoveling every entryway, making sure water stays fresh and unfrozen, and heading out twice a day, every day, to feed and care for the animals. It’s cold, it’s tiring… and it’s just part of the rhythm this time of year. We get ‘er done 💪❄️ Even in the middle of all that, I wanted to share a...

Being prepared on the homestead

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Winter has a way of reminding us how quickly things can change. Power outages.Icy roads.Empty shelves.Long, quiet nights. Preparation isn’t about fear or panic—it’s about peace. I just shared a new page all about being prepared for winter and storms, written from the perspective of stewardship, responsibility, and real-life experience. It’s not extreme, and it’s not overwhelming. It’s the kind of preparedness families...
