What an amazing day we have planned for you! Building community and learning together is one of the core values of our farm. Learn how to fill your larder (that’s an old-fashioned word for pantry) with wholesome, tasty, and safe food for your family with foods you’ve grown, sourced locally, or found in bulk.

Our intensive classes include the basics of food preservation:

• Canning
• Fermenting
• Sourdough basics
• Making yogurt & cheese
• Food storage
• Dehydrating
• .. and more!

PLUS:
* An incredible Alaska-Inspired lunch

* A tour of our 4-acre orchard

* And a tour of our garden that feeds us all winter long!

Plus you get to spend the day with women just like you who are trying to provide the best food possible for their families! Let’s learn together!

This incredible one-day intensive learning retreat is taking place on June 17 from 10 am – 5 pm at Common Ground Alaska farm in Big Lake. It is a rain-or-shine event so bring clothing for whatever the day holds — and bug spray — don’t forget the bug spray!

BONUS – FILL YOUR SOUL:
If you’re so inclined, we will be starting the day at 9 am with a short worship time and bible study. This is completely free to ticket holders but not required.

See you there!
