Stocking the Pantry with Purpose: Wheat Berries, Broth & Real Food

Published 6 days ago • 1 min read

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.

When I shop through Azure Standard, I’m always thinking long-term—what will truly feed my family well, no matter the season.

For me, that starts with:

  • Wheat berries to mill fresh flour and bake nourishing breads
  • Simple vegetables that can become soups, stews, or sides
  • Quality bone broth for those seasons when making it from scratch just isn’t possible

​Wheat berries are one of the most dependable pantry staples you can store. Properly kept, they last for years and can be turned into fresh, wholesome bread whenever you need it. Add vegetables and broth, and you have the foundation for deeply nourishing meals—without stress or waste. NEW Blog Post!​

In my book, Seed to Plate, I walk through how to take these simple staples and turn them into real, from-scratch meals your family will actually love—breads, soups, and everyday food that sustains.

This isn’t about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about building confidence, one ingredient at a time.

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 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...

It’s not extreme, and it’s not overwhelming. It’s the kind of preparedness families...

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...
