I'll get this in my Monday Mail with or without a code...

Howdy Tina - I had to really think about this one for a few days. This year is really hard because of a family health issue going on in the background so I cannot commit to that timeline right now. I will know more in a month but that is getting aweful close to your event. I have been saying no to everything so I dont let people down because of m y unpredictable predicament right now. Might be a good idea to start talking 2025 ideas. Cheers, Nicole

Wheat berries are low acid, which means your risk is of botulism which can produce toxin as soon as 24 hours. Not something I would mess with.

The reason there are not canning instructions is that the de site of wheat goo in canning can make it so the proper temp is not reached to kill botulism.

This is also why you do not can soups with any grains in them.

Two things on the theoretical side:
1) you would end up with mush by the time you process it, then reboil it
2) you need to boil low acid, pressure canned foods before you eat them in case a spore made it through the canning process, which negates the purpose of popping and eating a jar

Home canner get the Temps right up to where botulism spores are killed but not as hot as commercial processes, so sometimes a spore or two makes it through, which is why the recommendation is to boil low acid foods from home canned sources before eating them.

I'd do the cook then dehydrate approach for ease of use for sure.

If you want to research further, reach out to the food lab at UT/knoxville.

I look forward to meeting you!

A consideration besides raw land is buying another fixerupper to do ada compliance (disabled/age in place). Im aged 50 atm...

Locations ive enjoyed are oregon and florida. FL appeals to me because i like taking trips to cent and s amer.

Talking to others with a combo of mature life exp and interest in self sufficiency about responsible techniques and the work required to do more with land than keep it mowed is exciting.

Personally, I like the idea of accelerating projects.  I have so many, that it would be so awesome to get them done more quickly!



Just in case you don't already have your tickets, you can Get Your PTJ Tickets Here!

This is one of my absolute FAVORITE things to do. If we know 2-3 people who already know they want to be accelerated, I will work with them in advance to prepare a bit.

Howdy folks - I have posted this a few random times in all the wrong places.

How can I be of best service to yall as far as facilitating a successful future? I am a master facilitator and propose anyone who is interested sit down and we do a group roundtable session on one of the following:
1) Developing your homestead plan/mindset
2) Setting your future life vision
3) Project accelerators You present an idea and we help accelerate its progress as a group

I know this sound theoretical and a bit intangible - but I promise it isnt. We just need to choose one and go for it.

Or let me know what nut you want to crack as a group and we will hit that thing with a vice...

Thoughts? Anyone interested?
