My presentation aligns strongly with the festival’s sustainability goals by showing people how to make sauerkraut at home. This is a simple, low-cost way to preserve food, reduce waste, and support gut health. Fermentation is an age-old practice that requires no electricity, packaging, or chemicals, making it an accessible step toward more resilient households.

At my stall, I’ll also be sharing my book Homegrown Healthy Living, which documents over a decade of off-grid life on our family’s homestead. It offers practical skills and inspiration for growing food, composting, worm farming, and reducing reliance on outside systems. Both the workshop and the book empower attendees to take achievable, everyday actions that build self-sufficiency and contribute to a more sustainable future.
