This includes canning and home food preservation, beekeeping, backyard chicken flock husbandry, Kratky hydroponics, growing microgreens and others. These take place in various settings like demonstration kitchens, various community libraries, and technical colleges. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others in a relaxed and interactive setting.

I have a little online store with a line of small batch, handcrafted foods and non-food items to fund raise with also.  Food items are currently for sale online and at Goodside Grocery and Relish Kitchen Supply!

I avidly tinker, enjoy spending time in my kitchen, and can often be found talking to chickens in my garden.  I enjoy finding ways to live a little bit more self-reliantly through practical and sustainable means saving money, energy and worry.
