“This is so informational and educational. Especially since there really isn’t reliable information out there on rehydration. Thank you so much! I’m so stoked for your book!! Looking forward to it!”

“Some things we freeze-dried over the weekend … black & kidney beans, diced tomatoes & shredded zucchini from the garden and a tray of Carolyn’s Chicken & Gravy recipe that was remaining after canning 14 quarts of it. Today I have bone broth and goat milk going into the freeze dryer. We have 15 trays for the large so we always have the next batch pre-frozen and ready to go.”

“Please keep doing what you’re doing. You are helping people learn skills we all need to know but hadn’t necessarily had an opportunity to learn yet.”

“I am loving the masterclass. I love that it is at my own pace, due to me still working a day job with quite a commute, I can move through the class on the weekends. This class is part of my 5 year plan to be home more without the commute. I have made it through the dairy module and can’t believe how easy this has been. The instruction videos and the book (which I printed and put in plastic sheets in a binder….yes all pages) are so helpful. Carolyn is great at teaching and I believe anyone on any learning level would benefit from this class.”
— Kelly
“I took your free bread class and it has really made an impact on me and my relationship with bread making. I just pulled a beautiful loaf of sandwich bread from my Pullman pan and I wanted to cry. I was so elated that I FINALLY got it right. I used your Great Grandma bread recipe but let the dough guide me, not the recipe. I kept telling myself, “read the dough, not the recipe.” As I added flour and mixed, I kneaded the bread just the right amount and actually got a positive result with the window pane method (which you defined for me so thank you!) and there it was, perfect dough that turned into perfect bread. Thank you for all of the lessons and encouragement. I feel like we’re old friends!”
— Cassy
“I just wanted to tell you, I am so thankful for the work you do with all your videos. We just bought our own homestead property here in Denmark, an old one with 4 longhouses and 12 acres, from 1858. My husband and I have always wanted to provide for ourselves, our daughter, and our families with food. The shared knowledge you two have, has been so helpful to me in order to plan what, how, when and where we are going to place everything and how we can make the most of what we produce. So thank you ever so much for that!”
