Greetings from Marblemount Homestead!
Marblemount Homestead is our five acre homestead at the edge of the Pacific Northwest wilderness. Our mission is to inspire, empower and teach people how to live a simpler, healthier, more wholesome life. In the past, people have come to our little farm to learn how to make artisan cheese, how to raise goats, ducks and chickens, how to grow and preserve food, and also to learn wilderness survival skills.
We expanded our offerings in an online format since not everyone can travel out to us in the boonies! I worked hard on these online courses, writing ebooks and filming demonstration movies in my kitchen. My husband Steve and I had fun shooting these movies, and I think it really shows!
I currently offer two online courses: one on cheesemaking (Greek Yogurt, Chevre, Gouda and Cabra Al Vino), and one on fermentation (Yogurt, Beet Kvass, Sauerkraut, Kombucha and No-Knead Bread). These courses are self-paced, so people can start whenever it's convenient for them. They have access to the ebooks and movies for life and can download, print out or revisit the materials over and over again. Part of the course is a private Facebook group, so students can ask me questions and build community with their fellow students.
Visit us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channel.
Corina: I launched my online cheese making course last year, and I am blown away by the popularity of it. I have made many wonderful friends since I've launched this course, and hearing my students' positive, enthusiastic feedback makes me cry sometimes. I know, I know... I feel like a mother hen and take my job teaching people how to make healthy food, especially something like cheese, seriously! I never thought an online course could end up feeling so personal and create such beautiful connections. It literally feels like I'm holding people's hands while they are learning, and they love it!
I also launched an online fermentation course, where people learn how to make Greek Yogurt, Beet Kvass, Sauerkraut, Kombucha, and No-Knead bread. Lots of people have posted pictures of the things they made in our private Facebook group. Several people freaked out at making bread that looks and tastes like a fancy European loaf of bread! It gives me such joy to watch my students learn how to make food that they would spend lots of money on for much, much cheaper themselves (and with much less effort than they imagined!).
Since last year, my blog readership has grown in a huge way. I think many people love reading about our wholesome, natural, sustainable lifestyle and are yearning to live simpler. People are hungry for growing more of their own food, and I offer many, many free tutorials on all things homesteading, cooking and DIY.
My husband and I are dreaming and scheming about offering weekend retreats on the homestead, where people can come and learn everything from animal keeping, gardening, food preservation to wilderness survival skills. My husband will build a fancy treehouse where people can stay in style! So excited about that one!
