Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World

with Laura Lawrence

Hi Reader

Oh boy — did y’all have as much fun as I did at the Expo this past Saturday?

My heart is still so full. It was such a joy meeting so many of you and packing in that super-fast crash course on food preserving! I know we covered a LOT in a short amount of time.

I may send one more follow-up email in a few days because I feel like I still have so much to share and make sure I didn’t miss anything important for you.

First — truly, thank you for coming out and choosing to sit in my class. That means more than you know.

If you’d like to go deeper into canning or fermenting, I have two eBooks available — and I’ve discounted them just for Expo attendees.

They’re normally $19 each, but you can grab them for $5 each using code: EXPO26 Each workbook is approx. 40 pages with step by step directions and recipes!

Fermenting 101 Canning 101

(Consider it my thank-you for spending your Saturday with me.)

If you have even the tiniest bit of feedback from my presentation, I would absolutely love to hear it. What was helpful? What would you have liked more of?

Just hit reply and type away — I read every message myself.

And if you're ready for hands-on learning…

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.

Laura Lawrence From Seed to Plate: Where Real Food Freedom Begins Hi friend, Spring is starting to wake up, and that means garden season is right around the corner. This is the time of year when many people start thinking about growing their own food — choosing seeds, planning garden beds, and imagining fresh vegetables coming straight from the garden. But I see many new gardeners make the same mistake every year… They jump in without a plan. A little preparation now can make the entire...

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader If I could only tell you to grow one thing, it would be this: Beans. Simple. Humble. Magical beans.

They build confidence. They give you a visible harvest. Inside my free class, From Seed to Plate, I explain exactly...

Not when the garden centers are packed. Not when everyone else is panic-buying tomato plants. Not after you’ve already missed your cool crop window. Right now. Because planting at the wrong time is one of the biggest reasons gardens fail. You need to know: • Your growing zone • What’s a cool season crop vs. warm • Proper depth...
