Upcoming Events with Valerie

I travel often, and you never know where to find me, discussing topics such as sugar-free jam-making, fermenting, cheesemaking, or simply living a simpler life. People have asked me about my schedule and where I will be, so I’ve created this blog post to share it with you. I will pin this to the top of the blog and keep it updated.

I love meeting the people who read my blog, own my books, and use Green Living Australia products to improve their health while saving money. Look where I’ll be; drop by and say hello if you can.
