$60.00

Daily Bread Series

Thursday, February 26, 2026 (SAME GREAT CLASS, MORE CONVENIENT DAY…and an added segment for Gluten-Free Sourdough!)

10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

On-farm and in-person!

There’s something SO homey, comforting, and welcoming about the smell of fresh-baked bread.

Bread speaks to our souls.

From Jesus as the “Bread of Life,” to Germany, where friends welcome friends with bread and salt.

You’ll be amazed and delighted at the wide variety of breads you can make based on three simple ingredients: water, flour, and salt.

EVERYDAY SOURDOUGH: at home with daily bread

What can you expect?

Everyday Sourdough is calm, organized, deeply practical, and highly approachable. You’ll learn not just WHAT to do, but WHY it works. I’ll share methods that fit real life - busy evenings, limited energy, tight budgets—and that reduce waste and overwhelm. You’ll leave KNOWING how to feed your family nourishing daily bread SUITED TO YOUR FAMILY’S TASTES AND NUTRITIONAL NEEDS, without adding more burden to your already full life.

Get hands-on with your dough and learn to craft nourishing everyday breads your family will LOVE.

Delight in the FLEXIBILITY of sourdough: basic bread, pizza crust, bagels, tortillas, biscuits, pancakes. Suit sourdough to YOUR family dynamic, from all-purpose flours and whole grains to gluten-free options!

In fact, several of my friends and customers have special GLUTEN sensitivities, so while my own family is not gluten-free and gluten-free cooking is admittedly NOT my specialty, I can definitely get you started on the right foot. In fact, I’ve got a gluten-free starter on my counter just for you! I plan to dedicate a portion of this class to giving a good basic overview of GLUTEN-FREE SOURDOUGH breads.

Learn how turn ANY bread recipe into sourdough!

Join me in my homestead kitchen (Awww…doesn’t that sound cute? It’s just a plain kitchen, I assure you!) as we explore and relearn lost skills…the skills my mom taught me…the skills Grandma Mary taught her…the skills Aunt Mary taught her…

 Join me, Jen, as we bake, we chat, and I teach. A simple homestead lunch will be provided.

Space is limited, so there are only 8 tickets available.

Kids 10 and under are free, but each child must be accompanied by a paying adult. This event is not geared toward young children (read…may be long and boring for your 2-year-old!), so bear that in mind.

Tickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to someone else. Obviously, if WE cancel for any reason, we will refund the price of your ticket.

Homestead Where Life Finds You (Classes with Jen)

In our increasingly disconnected and chaotic world, the call for a return to our roots rings ever louder. Join me (Jen) in my homestead kitchen as we rediscover the skills our great-grandparents took for granted. There is little in life more satisfying than pulling a loaf - or four - of freshly-made sourdough bread or fresh rosemary croissants out of the oven, or seeing your pantry filling with jars of your own home-canned jams, sauces, tomatoes…and even meats or heat-and-eat meals!

The truth is that most of DON’T have a “back 40.” Hey, I call myself a homesteader, yet I’ve “only” got 12 acres, and we really only “farm” on 3 of them. What’s more, I started canning, fermenting, and baking back when I lived on a little city lot in Fraser. One of my friends blows my mind with how much she grows, composts, forages, ferments, cans…all on a city lot on the outskirts of Detroit! When I hear her talk, I’m reminded of the woman in the Bible of whom our Lord said, “She hath done what she could.” We could ALL do more with what we have NOW, where we live NOW.

So don’t let where you are right now hold you back. Once you start diving in, you’ll be surprised at how much you can accomplish.

Stay tuned for announcements of more upcoming classes! Things like…

  • Homemade Yeasted Bread Baking

  • SOURDOUGH Bread Baking

  • Yogurt and Butter Making (No raw milk required!)

  • Cheese Making

  • Canning without a Pressure Canner! (Think fruits and jams.)

  • Canning with a Pressure Canner (It’s not as scary as you think.) Learn to fill your pantry shelves with YOUR OWN “pre-packaged” meals!

  • Fermenting (A terrific way to put up a little of this, a little of that…it’s how folks “canned” before canning was a thing. And, oh, the gut-health benefits!)

  • Bone Broth
