Today we will talk about the witchiness of homesteading and why what seems so strange to some is simply living. Meat canning webinar Tales from the Prepper Pantry Freeze dried beets Freeze dried feta Canning beans is the next round of food preservation Chickens for sale Operation Independence Going dark Main topic of the Show: Which Witch is Which Imagine hundreds of years ago if one of your family members was truly ill and some lady who kept to herself mostly gave you some tea for the sick person -- and they got better. Or if you sprained your ankle and the swelling went down quickly. Add to that layers of superstition like which phase of the moon is best for planting, ceremonies involving burnt hair that reveal your true love’s face, and that sort of thing. The final twist could be that the lone lady with that tea lives to be quite old and there we have it. A witch. Yesterday, a friend stopped by who I had not seen in a long time and he joked on the way in the door that I reminded him of country women h

It’s beet season! Today I will run you through how to process beets pickled, sauce and pressure canned July Webinar: Canning Meat - July 24 at 2pm. Stump the Sauce Hey, I heard one of your latest podcast about the price of eggs at the store vs. the local farm and had a brain wave... If it's true that farm eggs are more nutritious then wouldn't it be good idea to market your eggs not in "$&¢", but in terms of "nutritional value" similar to purchasing regular gas and premium gas. The premium gas might "appear" more expensive (I.e. farm eggs) however...you get more mileage (nutrition) out your dollars spent. I think if the customer saw two boxes of eggs side-by-side but priced in $/nutrition ratio then they might be more likely to pick the farm raised variety? What’s Up in the Garden Harvest time has arrived: squash, eggplant Inattention killed my green beans (And there is still time) Tomatoes are looking great Time to prep the fall garden - I am not kidding Main topic of the Show:  Canning Beets Choosin

Over the weekend, we had all sorts of community happenings at the holler homestead and it got me to thinking about meeting in person and how important that it. I will share some of these thoughts as well as stories of our first ever open house on today’s podcast. Feedback  I want to thank you for your openness about your debt and perseverance regarding paying things off.  In December/January you said something in a podcast that made me think how foolish I’d been the past five years with credit cards, car and motorcycle loans.  After buckling done the past six months and accelerating pay downs, I’m paying off CC monthly now, paid off my car, and today made my last motorcycle payment.  With all that’s going on, I’m now free to focus on mortgage pay down, crypto, and savings.  I’m still enjoying your coffee and will look on your site about becoming a member to show my appreciation.  Tales from the Prepper Pantry Beets and pickles are done for 2021 Getting low on jars of all things (explain why) Weekly garden me
