Food Prood by Laura Lawrence | Homesteading

Welcome to Homesteading Above the 45th — your home for organic living, real food, and simple, sustainable homestead skills.

I’m Laura Lawrence, author of Seed to Plate:  A Homesteading Gardening Guide & Cookbook, along with my husband Justin and our three kids, we raise, grow, and produce nearly 85% of our family’s food right here in Northern Michigan. From big garden harvests, pigs, chickens, sheep, bees, and homegrown herbs — we believe in learning, teaching, and living closer to the land.

Our journey began when we realized just how fragile the modern food system really is. So we committed to growing real food, cooking from scratch, preserving abundance, and building a lifestyle rooted in self-sufficiency and food freedom. Now, we’re here to help you do the same.

Everything we teach is something we actually do on our homestead — tested, simple, and doable for any family.
