This week Liz is back on the podcast, and she shares a surprising challenge that we've had to deal with in recent months. And that challenge is, boredom.

The climate in our new homestead means winter is longer and spring arrives later, so we've really had to adjust to having more time off from garden and farmstead chores. Sounds like a good thing...but it it'll drive you stir crazy.

Still, we've got a lot going on, and in this episode we discuss:

our recent cruise vacation and how these crazy preppers prepared to spend a week on the oceanclearing land for pasture and putting in a one-acre pond
getting laying hens and building a micro-eggmobilea new Dexter calf
building a milking parlor for our Jersey cowhome milking procedures and raw milk quality
hugelkultur and adding compostto raise or not to raise meat rabbits
our Tamworth pigstop bar bee hives and adding bees
permaculture, plantings and installing a vineyard of Norton grapesexpanding the medicinal garden

Grab some coffee or tea, pull up a chair and listen in as we invite you into our world of modern homesteading.Thanks for Listening!
