Three intensive days to visit and explore our 120-acre wild woods retreat; a fun and exciting learning experience! Covered in this second seminar will be these important skills:
Canning jams, jellies, and preserves
Canning vegetables using a pressure canner
Canning meat and meat products using a pressure canner
Homestead tools
Chickens on the homestead
How to harvest and save seeds from open pollinated vegetables
Cheesemaking
Self-reliant living on a shoestring
This will be a hands-on experience right in our garden, livestock pens, and kitchen.
In addition, there will be ample time for questions during and after each workshop, a guided tour (by us) of the homestead explaining how and what we are doing to increase our self-sufficiency on a limited budget. It’s a seminar like no other limited to only 15 people to give each person a chance to participate fully.
This seminar will be Friday, August 17th; Saturday, August 18th; and Sunday, August 19th, 2012.
Contact Will and Jackie for further information at Jackie_at_backwoodshome.com. Put the word “seminar” in the subject line.
ChaplainDonnaH,

I would appreciate more detailed information on the seminars, please. Reading is good, and online sources can be very helpful, but in-person seminars add a dimension we often lose in the virtual world. Thank you for being so generous in sharing your knowledge and experience.
This sounds like a fantastic ,educational and great time. I wish I could attend but due to finances and canning season in full swing I will not be able. I wish everyone that attends a wonderful experiance. Have a GREAT TIME .
Sure wish I could come back in August. I hope you will do seminars again next year.
As Sheryl said, this was just an awesome experience for our group in May.
Learned so much, came home inspired . My little garden is doing great too!
For all of you thinking about going….quit thinking. GO! You will have a wonderful time! You will learn a lot, get to do hands on work, and you will definitely enjoy yourself.
I made some wonderful friends and am so glad I went. We were able to do so much and the time just flew by. We all hated to leave.
Jackie and Will are so kind and gracious and you will feel right at home.
DON’T MISS THIS!!!!
Sheryl
