The Wildcrafted Pantry

Building Everyday Staples with Time, Care, and What You Already Have
The Wildcrafted Pantry is an invitation to slow down and build a pantry that takes care of you.

This course is about creating simple, fermented and preserved staples using ingredients you can find close to home — no specialty cultures, no online ordering, no complicated equipment. Just time, patience, and a few good jars.

"Huge thank you Lori – your positivity and enthusiasm were contagious, and I can’t wait to try another loaf!


Mary

"You were right, [Lori], 'practice makes perfect'". Everything about this 2nd sourdough is perfect. Your online class is much different than following a recipe. It creates knowledge that is guiding by the 'sense and feel' of success and satisfaction. Thank you for using your own "sense and feel" to follow through with your class creation." 

"I just finished the sourdough bread course with Lori, and if you do have a chance to get in on her course, do it. She's a wealth of knowledge with an abundance of patience. She answered every question and was very responsive. I can't wait to do another course with her."


Jackie Keats

"It was an enriching and fun course. It felt like just hanging out and troubleshooting together. Lori will help you use whatever ingredient supplies you already have at your home for baking. Highly recommended."


Such an enjoyable course. Lori is incredibly patient, endlessly flexible, and ready to hold everybody's hand as we learn together all about sourdough. Definitely recommended.

Kim Madden
"I enjoyed this course, even though I had an unexpected commitment come up. But I felt like I learned a lot. And Lori's been great. Every time I had any questions after the class, she was happy to answer."

Carolyn Powell
Together, we’ll build foundational pantry items like berry ferments, honey-fermented flavours, wild sodas, preserved lemons— the kinds of quiet, powerful staples that transform everyday cooking and root us in older ways of taking care. 

You'll learn not just how to make these preserves, but how to use them: folding them into daily meals, stretching ingredients further, and creating flavour and nourishment that lasts through the seasons.

"Lori is absolutely incredible in every single course, interaction, experience, and class I've attended.

It has exceeded my expectations. She is a wealth of knowledge, a thought leader, and reminds you of the importance of slowing down, being intentional, and living an authentic life. I highly recommend anything she does, as everything she does is done with her heart and is experience-driven. Everyone who has the pleasure of being in her presence leaves a better person. Thank you, Lori, for the incredible work you do."

Business & Mindset Mentor

At its heart, The Wildcrafted Pantry is about remembering that preservation is not a trend — it’s a relationship.

A way of paying attention. A way of keeping what matters. This course focuses on fruit ferments / wild sodas / preserved lemons / honey ferments (Lacto-fermented vegetables will be explored in a separate, dedicated course.)

If you’ve ever wanted to build a pantry that feels alive, intentional, and deeply connected to place — this is where you begin.
