Classes
I teach fun, extremely hands-on classes on a variety of simple living and do-it-yourself topics. I aim to make the subject accessible as well as inspiring for the students. My hope is that as each student leaves the class and of currently scheduled incorporates the subject matter into their daily lives that they feel that the time was well spent. (For a list classes, go here.)
Classes are purposely kept small so that each student has a chance to practice techniques being taught as well as time to seek individual answers. No one ever leaves one of my classes with doubts about their ability to do-it-themselves or with unanswered questions. There are plenty of materials to take home at each class as well as samples of things produced.
If you’re interested in having me present to your group or offering a class to your community group, church group, family, friends, etc. Please e-mail me at mtkatiecakes@yahoo.com, classes can be customized to meet your group or individual needs.
I currently offer classes on the following topics:
- Home Canning (from the basics to more individualized topics)
- Organic Gardening
- Vermicomposting
- Baking from Scratch (both traditional and gluten-free)
- Frugal Living
- Voluntary Simplicity
- Home Organization
- Natural Cleaning
- Natural Body Care

My sourdough starter from the Sept/Oct Hobby Farm Home is ready
to make sourdough and I can’t find a recipe in the magazine or on
this sight. Can you please e-mail the sourdough bread recipe to me?
Hi Kathie,
I took your Homemade and Natural cleaning class a while back and have been making my own laundry soap and a few other cleaners ever since…that is until we moved in September and the box with all those recipes vanished. (I can’t even begin to tell you how upset I am). I had to resort to buying laundry detergent after I ran out of my own. My and my daughter’s skin is breaking out again, which it hadn’t done for the entire time I was making our soap. Is there any way I could get those recipes that you provided with the class again? I especially want both the liquid and powder laundry soap and toilet cleaner…but all would be even better.
Thank you!
