Join in as Liz Haselmayer and I discuss real food. Prices keep rising at the grocery store, and it's not often easy to even find good food, especially if you can't buy a farm and move to the country. 

The Haselmayers--like most families--don't own a farm, but they've learned that doesn't mean they need to sacrifice nutrition. Join us as Liz and I share lots of practical insights into this timely topic.

S11 E11: How to Find Nourishing Food WITHOUT a Farm w/ Liz Haselmayer

Have you felt it? Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.

Why Meal Planning Doesn't Work for You (and what to do instead!)

Herbs have been used to doctor animals for millennia, but sadly it's tough to find information on how to use them in our modern age.  Today I'm so thrilled to be joined by Dr. Patrick Jones-- a veterinarian, naturopath, and herbalist who knows this topic inside and out. Dr. Jones sheds light on the complexities of herbal dosages, species-specific risks, and the profound impact these treatments can have on our animals from household pets to livestock.

 He packed this interview with loads of practical, actionable information and you'll walk away with tons of ideas on how to naturally treat your cows, goats, chickens, dogs, and more!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:Why does there seem to be a void in information about using herbs for animalsHow you can use herbs for different types of livestockHow herbs work vs. modern medicineTalking about daily supplement herbsHow to get animals to take herbsFiguring out dosages Common ailments in farm animals (and how to treat them)Get instant access by growing your own herbsFoundational top five herbs Favorite veterinary herbal success storyRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Learn more about Dr. Patrick Jones here: https://homegrownherbalist.net/ Find Dr. Patrick Jones videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@HomeGrownHerbalist

S14 S18: Let Your Garden Be Easy This Year

We talk a lot about returning to our roots and reclaiming heritage skills... but what role does your family heritage REALLY play in your homesteading efforts? How can you lean on it for motivation during the stressful times?

This conversation left me feeling so inspired and I know it will leave you feeling the same!
