Let’s take a look at what some people are saying about my classes.

Renee “Sourdough saves my budget 100% of the time. I have six kids, and they’re always hungry, sourdough has saved my butt many times. My budget is tight and it’s hard to always come up with things for them to eat. I know when I put that loaf in the oven, or pull that waffle iron off the shelf, I’m about to give them some goodness that didn’t come from a package. I feel empowered that I’m doing something good for my family that is also cost-effective. Without this class I would have never known it was so easy. I’m not a super duper fabulous chef by any means or baker. It’s common sense and it’s easy to do. I have used Laura’s recipes for making pizza, white loaves of bread, bagels, and muffins. Everything is eaten up within a day. The nice thing is I can come back to it if it’s too much. There’s times when I stick it in the refrigerator and I give it a break. When I pull it back out it’s fresh and ready to go. I’ve done cheap flour and it’s worked and I’ve done expensive flour and it’s awesome! It depends on what I can afford at that time and that’s okay. I highly recommend learning this skill, start with something easy and it’ll be doable. Laura takes the mystery out of sourdough. Get some flour on your hands and let’s start your journey!


Lori “I am so glad I took Little Laura’s Farm homesteading course. I kept talking about wanting to do a garden but she helped me get out of my analysis paralysis. Already thinking about what I can add next year😜 Next up, making soap from rendered lard then an online cheese making course from Laura “


From another “You are such a great host and teacher. Sharing your passion for what you do has been transforming to me and my family. We appreciate everything you do!”


Kelly “Laura’s workshops are inspiring for the new or experienced gardener! Lots of great tips, takeaways and take home goodies!”


Brittany “The workshop series this summer was absolutely fantastic! It was very helpful to have such a knowledgeable teacher that truly wants to share all her advice. It was also nice not to feel like a total beginner even though I totally was! There was no competition, just good conversation and hands on garden tours. Thank you Laura and I hope you can continue making this work for you and your family!”


Kim – “I’ve attended two classes that Laura had hosted one being a herbal class where she taught us about the greatness herbs can do for us and how to make healing tinctures, teas, infused oils etc. It was a fantastic hands on class. Gave me a lot of knowledge and the drive and ambition to learn more and to put it into practice into my and my families life. I plan to plant my own herb garden this spring. The second class was how to make soaps, salves and lotion bars. I’ve wanted to learn to do this for so long. She explained the how’s, had a great informative print outs for us and again, hands on so we could see how to actually make all of these things all naturally. It’s a great thing being able to take more chemicals out of our lives and use natural. Laura’s classes are fantastic. She is very passionate about teaching these things.”


Tara “Learning how to keep, use, and bake with sourdough seemed foreign and scary, but Laura’s class made it simple and easy! She gives practical tips, delicious recipes, and ways to troubleshoot your sourdough starter. Laura makes it easy to incorporate one small, healthy change into your daily life and is the best cheerleader you can have on your team! I was able to work hands on with prepared sourdough learning new skills and techniques. One of the best parts was being able to try how amazing it is and take your starter home too!”


Heather “I’ve taken a few of Laura’s homesteading classes. I’ve enjoyed all of them! My favorite was the gardening class. She teaches you everything you need to know to plant a garden and to do it successfully. I planted a garden and it was awesome. If you can take this class, do it! “

  • Every time I learn this, I get richer

  • My garden looks terrible. I’m leaving it.

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader My garden currently looks like I gave up sometime in August. Brown bean pods. Bolted lettuce. Droopy sunflowers. Baseball-bat zucchinis. Weeds. Chaos. It’s beautiful. Okay…maybe beautiful is a stretch. But I’m leaving it that way on purpose. And perhaps you are doing it for the same reason as me 😉 Because…

  • Get Me The Plantain! Stat!

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Today I was removing seeds from a mammoth sunflower because everyone is doing that right now… right? Well, something VERY pokey got me right in the crook of my thumb where it bends. OUCH. I pulled it out and thought, eh, it’ll be fine. A few minutes later it had swollen…

  • I don’t trust next year’s garden.

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader I have a confession. I don’t trust next year’s garden. I trust God. I just don’t trust my vegetables to cooperate. Case in point: one year my banana peppers went absolutely gangbusters. We had peppers coming out our ears. The next year? Zip. Zero. Zilch. Gardens are fickle little things. That’s…

  • You do not need 47 bottles under your sink

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader Why do we need a different bottle for every single surface in the house? One for the counter. One for the mirror. One for the bathroom. One for the furniture. One for the dishwasher. And one mystery bottle shoved all the way in the back that nobody remembers buying. Your cleaning…

  • The weather changed… bring on the soup

    Laura Lawrence Hi Reader The weather is changing around here, especially at night, and boy has it been moody! The clouds have been fabulous to watch—light, dark, constantly changing and bringing in these splashes of sunshine and darkness. It’s fabulous. And you know what else it means? SOUP SEASON.
