What if you could make a living sharing your passion for wholesome, unprocessed food? The type of food that has sustained
people -
and communities- around the world for generations?

 

You are a food-aware mama…a health coach…nutritionist… chiropractor… or massage therapist.

Now, imagine if, instead of just explaining to friends, family and your clients why REAL FOOD WILL SAVE OUR HEALTH (and maybe even the planet), you could teach it. Hands on.

Instead of spending your spare time answering questions about how (and why) you make that sumptuous broth, sassy (yet simple) sauerkraut, or sensational sourdough bread, you could say:

“Why don’t you come to my class?…”


Whether you are a professional looking to increase your repertoire of hands-on skills so you can teach others, or are feeling ready to embrace a career with deeper meaning, this training could help you create transformation for yourself, others and the environment… 

 

 

This is where we start…

 

Inask adrienne large your kitchen (of course).


Hands on.
 

Learning the techniques that people have been using to make healthy, nourishing food since the time of our great, great, grandmothers. And the grandmothers that came before them…

Being a busy mom, teaching and running a homestead has inspired me to take anything that seems complex- and boil it down to its simplest, most practical, form. To make traditional foods totally and completely accessible in today’s kitchen….

All *you* really need is a desire to learn. To embody the culinary wisdom of our ancestors. To live and eat in sync with what’s been woven into the tapestry of our collective DNA.

Luckily, there is a blueprint – a roadmap per se.

It’s the same one people around the world have used for a very long time- before marketers, multinational food corporations and ever-changing nutrition advice made it all seem so confusing.

 

What’s your learning style? We’ve got you covered with…

 

  • Instructional videos that clearly demonstrate each technique in step-by-step fashion.
  • Printable handouts with at-a-glance charts and family-tested recipes.
  • Live support through our Q and A calls where I answer your questions (these are taped for you, and questions can be submitted ahead of time)
  • Community support with a special, class forum where you can interact with your peers to swap ideas, tips, tricks and troubleshoot.
*Bonus*
  • Monthly ‘Around the hearth’ sessions for the duration of the course (May-October). This is where we gather to share wisdom about a complementary subject. Gut health. Picky eaters. How and where to source traditional foods and more. These calls are taped so you can listen them wherever and whenever…

Danielle Nykoluk“I signed up to learn some skills – hands on style.

Reading about what and how to do things has worked for me (for some things), but other things seemed intimidating… This class was the perfect solution – I could hear it, read it and DO IT! Adrienne’s classes have solidified my knowledge and skills and I’ve gone back into my own kitchen and incorporated these new skills month by month with ease!”

Level 1 modules:

1. Lacto-fermentation: Lacto-fermentation has been used by people around the world to preserve food long before freezers, pressure cookers and canners ever made their way into our lives…You would be hard-pressed to find a region of the world that doesn’t have an history of consuming fermented foods.

Ashley Pharazyn“Adrienne has found a way to bring traditional wisdom into my busy and hectic lifestyle.

This class was fun, educational and showed me just how easy it is to implement these new skills into my own kitchen. It has also helped me find affordable ways to take care of my family. Our health has improved from introducing cultured foods into our daily diet, and I am so thankful for all of my new found knowledge.”

I learned so much in this class – and had so many questions answered.”

For those of you who like to do the math (like I do )…

Let’s sharpen our pencils and see what your investment *could return.

Let’s say, for example, you decide to teach 5 classes this year…(Yes, only 5.)

Each class participant paid $60/class. (Think you could get 10 participants in each class?)

10 x 60= $600

And you teach 5 classes this year….

          $600

          x    5

          ______

Total: $3,000

This, in less hours than most people put in at the average office job in a week…
