Support the Duke Ethnobotanical Archives & Teaching Gardens | Susan Leopold

United Plant Savers is launching the online Duke Ethnobotanical Archives to share with this global herbal village—and they need your help! Can you help them make it accessible to all? Learn more & DONATE today: CLICK HERE They've already raised more than $21,000 towards a $50,000 goal. And a super duper anonymous donor was inspired by the community's generosity to date, and is going to match any new donations dollar-for-dollar from now until the end of the year to help fund the project. UpS' goal is to provide greater access to plants in peril, creating opportunities for the public to learn about the medicinal plants this community holds dear. Their newly opened Archives are the biggest collection of Jim Duke's prolific herbal writings, Peggy Duke's incredible botanical drawings, and the couple's notes, files, and herbarium—preserving their extensive research for the public to see in one central locale.

COURSE: The Art of Frugal Nutrition

The Art of Frugal Nutrition Registration is now open! Are you looking to feed you and your family nourishing food without spending a lot of money? That's our mission with the Art of Frugal Nutrition. This concept has been a dream of mine to create for years now, and it's finally here! Well, truthfully, I always thought it'd be a book. But in these modern times, courses are a lot more valuable because of the ability to follow along with the instructional videos. The other thing is, I wanted to learn from the experts themselves. While I have studied nutrition a lot over the years, and I've experimented plenty in the kitchen, the teachers we're working with on this course are the true experts! The Art of Frugal Nutrition is: SLIDING SCALE | It seemed antithetical for us to create a course based around eating on a budget and have it not be accessible to the people who need it the most. Thus there are discount codes for 50%, 75%, and 100% off. That is correct, you can get this course for free. If you do register for free, and you feel moved to you can always contribute to this project financially at a later date. We appreciate you no matter what! FULL PRICE IS $100 AN EVER-EXPANDING COURSE | You'll notice there are currently three modules available. That's fermentation, dumpster diving and bone broth. The beauty of this course is that it will always grow, meaning new modules will be added periodically. We already have three more in the pipeline. This probably goes without saying, but once you register for the course, you'll have access to all of the modules, including the new ones. A FUNDRAISER | 10% of the profits from sales of this course will be donated to World Central Kitchen, a non-profit whose mission is to use the power of food to nourish communities and strengthen economies in times of crisis and beyond. A COMMUNITY | When you register, you'll gain access to a private Facebook group dedicated to sharing and learning frugal nutrition concepts, recipes, ideas, and more. This group is brand new, so it's probably just me and a couple others in there! I know Facebook isn't everyone's jam, so we're looking into alternatives for creating a community space elsewhere, but this is what we got for now. LEARN MORE AND REGISTER
