I just got an email from The Herbal Academy today (for whom I'm an affiliate, which means I make a commission on their products when you buy them) announcing that they're cutting enrollment on their courses to 50% in two cases, and reducing admission for their newest (a mushroom course). They NEVER do this. I love their courses, truly; they're fantastic. However, they're normally out of my price range! This deal is a good one, if you can afford it. Please note that these aren't free but given the unique opportunity, I thought I'd share it here. Do NOT feel pressured to buy them if you can't afford them, of course.
Here's the introductory course: https://theherbalacademy.com/product/introductory-herbal-course/?ap_id=homesteadlady
Here’s their intermediate course: https://theherbalacademy.com/product/intermediate-herbal-course/?ap_id=homesteadlady
Here's the newest, on mushrooms. https://theherbalacademy.com/product/the-mushroom-course/?ap_id=homesteadlady
Here are two from Dawn Gifford at Small Footprint Family - the first is part of the gardening bundle mentioned above, so you'll be asked to join a newsletter. https://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/things-you-can-compost
Here's her other one - also a newsletter sign up: https://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/50-ways-to-live-greener
More! Teri of Homestead Honey has put two books on a sliding/pay what you can sale. In the case of this one, Family Homesteading, the base price is 10.00 to cover production cost only.
