Episode 06 Market Matters 001 Interview Samantha Hinnman

Episode 07 Fantastic Fun Filled Friday Adventure

In this episode, titled "Fantastic Fun Filled Friday Adventure," We have an exciting adventure while doin errands. Initial stop, For You Brewing, CO2 tank refill and included plans to discuss bread dough making and medicinal herbs.  After a mediocre lunch in Terre Haute, the highlight of the trip was Age of Aquarius in downtown Brazil, which Wee Wild Woman declared her "new favorite store" after purchasing books, oracle cards, crystals, and stones. Throughout our travels, we provide updates on the farm, noting the recovery of the new calf Porter from joint ill, the success of the new FI3 2025 GPS tracking collar in quickly locating Athena during a "jail break". I share significant personal news, detailing how quitting heavy drinking in March, adopting intermittent fasting, and joining Anytime Fitness led to a 60-pound weight loss and a new, more positive mindset he calls "synchronicity". We also teased a large, upcoming "legacy project" ("The Texas Project"). Then something different, an analogy comparing men's emotions to an 8-color box of crayons versus women's 164-color box. We concluded our adventure late, heading back home to Greencastle to prepare for chores and face "The Boss Lady" and address our spending.  https://foryoubrewingsupplies.com/  Age of Aquarius [https://www.facebook.com/p/Age-of-Aquarius-100057233028715/]

Episode 04 Animals on our homestead

Longer episode as Wee and I discuss all the animals we have on our homestead, how we would rate them for new homesteaders, some things to look out for, some lessons learned. We cover horses, cows dairy and beef, alpaca, wool sheep, goats dairy and meat, rabbits, chickens, geese, guineas, pigs, turkeys, ducks, fish, bees, dogs, cats and even black soldier flies. We touch on some extra ways you can make money with the animals, permaculture uses for animals, ease of care. We plan on going into each species in more detail with a separate episode for each. We think the improvements on audio helped. We lost one of the microphones on the third segment but we managed to salvage. Originally we wanted this as a Zoom meeting and show pictures, video, and links as we are talking about the animals. But, an unexpected cancelation on interviews, and required road trip said use the time we have.

Episode 03 Homeschooling from a homeschooler point of view

We and I have a longer than normal discussion 2 hrs about homeschool from a homeschoolers point of view. I just have to give my opinion as I went through some issues in government schools, and then watching her older siblings go through government schools, and now watching her homeschool. but we have an agenda, big steps. We mention her school of Acellus and we are not sponsored in any way by the program. A link to the program in the notes.  https://www.acellus.com/

Episode 02 REBORN Episode 42 Buying meat directly from a producer

We are back, well half of us. Today we cover buying directly from a producer. Things you may want to know, things you may want to ask. How to maximize your money. This was originally released Oct 2023 and we plan on a follow up podcast interviewing local producers and a butcher to get their opinions and recommendations. This was an old recording and we recovered most of it and the quality is as best at the new AI could get it.  Wolf-Beach Farms of Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/WBFarms] www.wolfbeachfarms.com [http://www.wolfbeachfarms.com]
