Thrive in challenging times with expert mentors, tested resources, and a supportive community that “gets it”. We’ll help you build skills and confidence in your own abilities – saving money, feeling more prepared, and building a purposeful life.
What if you could….
- Reduce your food budget while eating better quality food?
- Find natural remedies and ways of tackling tasks as you age that help you keep doing what you love (and what needs to get done).
- Learn Practical Preparedness tips and strategies that give you peace of mind.
Listen, I see you…
- Your budget is stretched thin, and prices keep going up. You read labels and shake your head at the slew of processed ingredients, but aren’t sure about better alternatives.
- You garden, or want to garden, but struggle with poor soil, limited space, or mobility issues.
- You hear the constant “gloom and doom” headlines, and wonder what’s really a problem and what’s not a serious threat, and how to deal with both. You wonder about better alternatives to pharmaceuticals that are less expensive with fewer side effects.
IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO SPEND LESS, GROW MORE, AND GET THE SUPPORT YOU NEED FROM A COMMUNITY THAT UNDERSTANDS
You don’t have to struggle to find ways to stay on budget and deal with the current turmoil on your own.
With guidance from our courses, mentors, and community, you can move forward with confidence, creating your own “refuge in the storm”.
And, let’s face it, you’ve worked HARD to get where you are in life… You deserve to be supported by others who know the struggle and who are eager to share ideas, provide feedback, and are as committed to success as you are!
“You offer practical information in easy to understand terms. You take a lot of guesswork and trepidation out of trying something new. I feel like the information you provide is “tried and true” and gives me confidence that it is safer than just googling something and choosing an answer at random. I also find you very relatable; you make me feel like I am getting tips from a friend.” – Kelly J.

Great variety of information presented!” – Karla S.

Be able to receive expert advice and solutions regularly and have your questions answered by people with real experience, not AI generated babble.
Be able to rest easy knowing that your family is prepared for the most likely emergencies and disruptions.
Trust that you can treat basic ailments with easy to make home remedies and herbal preparations.
How does that sound?
“I love that you live near where I grew up, but beyond that I’ve stuck around because of your down to earth common sense way of doing things. You aren’t pushing something that is unreachable, just showing that with persistence, hard work and smart planning a lot can change over time. You are sharing knowledge and skills that most people have lost. Your family is well educated, does great research and I can know your recommendations for products are good ones and your recommendations for recipes, gardening and other things really work.”- Heather S.
It’s time for you to take back your peace of mind & your future!
Under the roof of Bona Cresco, we’ll show you how to weather the storms ahead AND improve your food and health options.

Hi, we’re Laurie and August
We are best friends who have been married for 30 years. During that time, we followed our dream with our two sons, and turned 35 abandoned country acres into a homestead oasis. We raise most of our own food, and preserve it in a variety of ways to get through our Wisconsin winters. We have 3 types of solar, greenhouses, a root cellar, an energy efficient and accessible home, and an assortment of ongoing projects. August has extensive professional experience in disaster planning and recovery. Laurie’s professional experience ranges from catering to renewable energy engineering.
So, what do you say?
