This is my story and how I became healthy and happy

Workshop Review "Growing and Cooking for Self Sufficiency"
"Generous. I came away from the 2.5 hour workshop with knowledge, cuttings, recipes and an excited palette from Penny's tasting board. The time that went into preparing for the workshop was demonstrated in the handout to help organise my intentions and ideas into a garden plan. Vegetable varieties were highlighted within groups in a way only someone with years of experience can share. Hands on seed planting and a demonstration for taking cuttings is the beginning of my container veg garden. The space where this took place, Hope Farm, is breathtakingly beautiful. It was well worth the drive and I can't wait to bring my girlfriends to the next opportunity to learn more from Penny including  the important artform of preserving food I've grown."

Workshop Review "Making Your Own Bread"
“I immensely enjoyed Penny’s sourdough/bread making course. Not only was she passionate about the process of making your own bread she was very clear and precise, with easy steps to follow throughout. And what a bonus we came away with our very own Soda bread together with easy recipes for all kinds of breads and doughs, and double bonus some starter from Penny’s own supply. I’ve since made several loaves, which I’m having to gift to my friends because otherwise I’ll eat them all! Thank you so much Penny.”
