It Wasn’t My First Crop… But It Changed Everything

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence

Hi Reader

By the time I started growing garlic, I’d already had my hands in the soil.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs — I’d grown things before.

But garlic was different.

It didn’t need me to hover.
It didn’t ask for constant checking or second-guessing.
And it ended up feeding us for months.

It was the first time I realized that growing food could be simple, dependable, and truly sustainable.

That’s why I always recommend garlic to anyone feeling overwhelmed or unsure of where to begin — or who just wants to add one crop that really pays off.

👉 If you haven’t watched the free garlic training yet, you can still get access here:
🎥 Watch the training + get your PDF here​

Inside, I show you exactly how I plant, grow, and cure garlic — and how you can grow once, harvest big, and never buy it again.

And if garlic sparks something deeper in you —
that desire to reconnect with your food, your family, and maybe even your faith — then I’d love to invite you into my Homestead Membership.​

Inside, I share:

  • Monthly growing + homesteading workshops
  • Downloadable guides + checklists
  • Practical tutorials on everything from preserving to planting
  • Encouragement for living simply — with purpose
🎁 Join by Sunday and get my bonus PDF:
​“Harvest Guides & Garden Tasks”​
Plus a personal voice message from me and an invite to our next live Q&A

This isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about doing something — and doing it well.

You’re already on the path. Let’s keep walking it together.

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 Well, it finally happened — the frost, and then the very next day, a freeze. It’s bittersweet to start closing up the gardens, but what a blessing this extended warm season has been. My to-do list, which usually wraps up in September, has rolled right into October (and beyond, by the looks of it!). There are roots to dig for medicine (video coming soon!), beans to winnow—just hauled in 30 pounds of black beans!—and...
