The charge for a local 45 minute program for a group of 20 or fewer is $40-50 depending on topic. Conferences/organizations starting at $90 plus expenses.


Hands on Seminars

You choose a topic, invite friends to your home, and I will share input and demonstrations plus give out handouts, tasters, etc. Seminars are 1-1/2 to 2 hours and the cost is $8-12/person depending on topic. This is a great alternative to a Tupperware or candle party and everyone still has a chance to fellowship plus go home with new skills to try.

  • Cold Frame seminar (Aug/Sept)
  • Home Dairy - making butter, yogurt and soft cheese
  • Basic Cheesemaking - soft cheese varieties plus a simple hard cheese
  • Growing and Cooking with Herbs - easy basics for busy cooks
  • Growing Heirloom Vegetables and Seed Saving
  • Growing and Arranging Cut Flowers - ideas for varieties, planting schedules and vases
  • Using Nourishing Traditions cookbook - ideas on lacto-fermentation, soaking grains, etc
  • Making sauerkraut and other lacto-fermented vegetables
  • Papermaking - a great recycled craft, participants design 2 handmade cards to take home
