Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World

with Laura Lawrence

Hi Reader

What a weekend.

The Homestead Expo was such a gift — full rooms, great questions, sold-out books, and so many meaningful conversations about preserving, gardening, and building skills that truly matter.

It reminded me why I love teaching this work so much.

Because of the excitement around the preserving session, I’ve decided to keep the information flowing and extend the special pricing on my two preserving eBooks for a little broader.

If you’ve been wanting a simple, confidence-building guide to:

• Safe water bath & pressure canning
• Fermenting basics
• Practical, real-life food preservation

You can grab each eBook for just $5 (normally $19). Each book is approx. 40 pages with step by step instructions + recipes!

Use code: EXPO26

I don’t plan to keep that price long — but I want everyone who’s ready to learn to have access.

Now let’s talk about what’s coming next…

Seed starting season is almost here.

I personally won’t begin starting seeds until mid-April (timing matters!), but now is the time to plan, prep supplies, and understand the process.

Inside my Heritage Legacy Membership, there’s a full class dedicated entirely to:

• Choosing the right seeds
• When to start what
• Lighting, watering, hardening off
• Avoiding the most common mistakes

If you want to feel confident before you even plant your first seed, that class is waiting for you inside the membership.

We are building skills step-by-step — not rushing, not overwhelming, just steady, capable growth.

I’m so grateful you’re here and learning alongside me.

More soon,

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.

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. Why beans? • They grow quickly • They work in small spaces and containers • They feed your family fresh • They can be preserved for later • They even improve your soil while they grow They teach patience. They build confidence. They give you a visible harvest. Inside my free class, From Seed to Plate, I explain exactly...

Learning Old Fashioned Ways in a Modern World with Laura Lawrence Hi Reader I’m going to say this plainly: If you want a garden this year, now is the time to prepare. 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...
