You're listening to A Tiny Homestead, the podcast comprised entirely of conversations with homesteaders, cottage food producers, and crafters. I'm your host, Mary Lewis. Today I'm talking with Jen at Bright Acres Homestead in Florida. Good morning, Jen. How are you? Good morning, Mary. Well, thanks. How about yourself? Well, I'm good.  I have a runny nose that's been driving me crazy. Oh, yes. And so if I'm sniffly, that's why. ahh How is the weather in Florida this morning?

00:29

It is doing all right. We've had some really nice cooler mornings lately, but  by midday it's back in the  90s.  It's crazy. The swings are crazy.  Yeah. Where are you in Florida? We are just south of Tallahassee,  right on the Gulf.  Okay. Yep. So you get the ocean breezes.

00:49

I kind of feel like the Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America, whatever you want to call it these days, is like a dust bowl  for allergies. Okay. Yeah.  It's kind of wild. It's different than living on the East Coast for sure.  Yeah.  My parents still live in Maine. I grew up in Maine and my dad is always talking about how the winters are so much warmer now  because of number one, global warming. But number two, because of global warming, the oceans are staying warmer so they get the

01:20

the insulation of the warmth of the ocean in the wintertime. And every time he explains this to me, I'm like, you've told me this a thousand times. And he's like, yes. And I'm like, I still don't quite understand how it works.  And he said, does anybody really understand how nature works? And I'm like, no, if we did, I would be much richer.

01:39

Um,  is, it is overcast in Minnesota again this morning and we were fog locked for the second day this morning. could not see more than eighth of a mile down the road and my husband had to go to work and I was like, please be careful. Please. Yes. Yes. Completely understandable. Do not want to lose that man. And, and, and every time it gets foggy like this, I'm like, please don't let somebody hit him or please don't let him hit somebody. Oh, I totally understand the fog.

02:08

It happens here too, especially like down the road from us, because there's such a change between we're right near  what we the Springs. And so like the Springs are, you know, the river runs through town and  it's much cooler. And then you have like the Gulf, which is very warm. And so it creates like this, I don't know what you want to call it, but like this tunnel where the two collide and the fog is crazy. um So it's kind of wild.

02:35

Yeah, I don't like it. I really don't. I like to be able to see a mile away. It makes me happy. I want to take a moment before we dive in to thank you and all my other guests that have been on the show and my listeners because this podcast is one of my favorite things I've ever done and I appreciate everyone's time so much. I love that. Happy to be here. Good. I'm happy to have you. So tell me a little bit about yourself and Bright Acres Homestead and I love the name.

03:05

Oh, thank you. um So we  see my husband and I, guess way back before we even knew each other, always both really loved farms.  I remember my parents used to tease me at some point I'd live on a farm and I'd have all the things. um And my husband also felt the same way.  His family kind of grew up that way.  A lot of canning and  they've lived in Florida before it was even a state  way back in the day.  so

03:33

There's a lot of tradition there. And so between the two of us, after we met, we always had this dream of, let's do it. And so we're kind of living that dream. We both have real jobs on the side, of course. And so I should say real jobs for most of the time. This is the on the side deal, but it's been pretty incredible. We have 27 acres and we have 11 cows and five.

04:00

pigs  and we garden pretty much year round in Florida as possible. so, um you know, having three to four gardens a year, depending on the season um and just really enjoying,  you know, living off the land and all the things that come with it. um It's been pretty awesome, especially for our kids,  for them being able to have responsibilities outside and see that, you know, working hard is, has fruits of labor, right? um

04:28

with all the things that we put on our plates at dinner and that we're able to offer up as gifts or  just started selling in our shop, which is pretty cool. Okay. Thank you.  I have a very specific question. even wrote it down on a notebook so I wouldn't forget.  planted Roselle plants? Oh yeah.  What are they? What is that? So Roselle, it's a Roselle hibiscus. It's a type of  flowering plant.

04:57

And after it flowers,  it produces ah what's called a calyx,  which is fruit.  And inside the fruit is a seed pod,  but the fruit itself is edible. uh It makes  tea, really good tea. um A lot of the tea blends that you find out there, if they say hibiscus, it's made from roselle.  It's in one of my personal favorites, uh the lemon zinger tea. ah

05:25

from celestial seasonings. Roselle is actually in that mix as well. So it's kind of neat. had no idea. And this is the other reason I love my podcast because pretty much every episode I record, learned something new, but I didn't know the hibiscus produced a fruit. had no idea. I thought that the hibiscus tea came from the petals, but I guess not.

05:50

No, yeah, it's actually really interesting. And there's many different types of hibiscus, right? Like you have like your tropical hibiscus, which are,  you know, the big yellow and pink and purple flowers, and they don't do the same thing.  It's a different variation as the roselle hibiscus. Okay. Well, thank you very much.  I had no idea and I love it when I learn new things.  I have got to know itis. That's what my dad calls  it. I love that.

06:18

or otherwise known as perpetual curiosity. fantastic. All right. So I have, I have other questions.  How do your animals do with the high heat in Florida? Yeah, they actually do pretty decent. They all have shade  and there's plenty of tree hammocks out there. And,  um, we,  um, we had for a while until some of the trees got larger. um

06:43

You know, those sun sails.  so they just really enjoyed hanging out under there. They,  it's amazing how much water  they can go through in a single day,  trying to keep themselves hydrated and whatnot, but  they actually do all right. It was kind of funny too. It snowed in January here in Florida. And so they had like the polar opposite  in terms of temperature. And they actually did really well in that too. So I think, you know, the breeds that we have are pretty hardy.

07:11

Um,  especially for heat and drought. Um, but yeah, they, tend to make it work for themselves.  What breed of cows do you have? So we have,  um, two Sharlea.  Um,  we have one, she is  a,  um,  Thailand black Angus mix. Um, she's my pet. Her name is Flora. She, she is a bottle baby. Um, and then we have,  um, red limousine.

07:41

And our bull Bruno, he is a Brahma, Brahma tiger stripe mix. He's an F, he's an F1. He's like first generation and he's pretty handsome. bet. Yeah, he's striped. He's got like zebra stripes. Like he's really cool looking. Okay. So do you have the cows for milk? Do you have them for meat? Do you have them for both? Yeah, they're mainly for meat and

08:10

Uh, we're selling babies,  um, once they're weaned.  Um, we haven't actually had to bottle feed any of our babies.  Um,  when I bought Flora, um, she was a bottle baby when we got her.  Um, but all of our mothers have been producing well. And so, um, all the babies are growing up big and strong and, um, taking care of themselves. So yeah, they're for market and, and for meat consumption. oh Do you use any of the milk from the mama's for yourself?

08:40

No.  Okay.  Cool. um The Brahma  breed. That's the one that looks like it's naked. It looks like it doesn't have any hair, right? Well, I guess. mean, Bruno looks like he has hair because he has stripes. ah But I do know what you're talking about. They have the longer ears. Yes. Ears that kind of hang down. um And a lot of them have a hump. Yep. That's the other thing I was going to mention. Yeah. Yeah. They're from

09:10

Is it  Africa? India? India. Yeah. So I thought okay.  Yeah. And I hear that they're really docile. But is that not true? Oh, no, it's true. He is he doesn't realize how big he is. And honestly, it's kind of scary because, you know, he loves to like lean against the fence and he loves headpats and whatever, but he's huge.  So,  you know, it can be em it can be a little concerning  when he decides he wants to be lovey.

09:38

Um, cause, cause of his size. He's aggressively affectionate. He's aggressively affectionate. Yeah. And yes, very loving. We had a barn cat for a couple of years, female, and she showed up here as a six month old stray and she fell in love with my son who still lives with us. And she was aggressively friendly from the very start. Like she would sit on his shoulder and lick his ears. I love it. Yep. So I am very familiar.

10:08

with aggressively affectionate. Yes. And I think like the pets that find you  are just a different breed. Like they really are. Like  we, I've had multiple cats um that have found me  and Lucky, our current barn cat, she, found her in the middle of a road.  Some truck almost ran me off the road trying to avoid her. And so I stopped and I picked her up and I took her home and she's still here.  And she is that way. Like she doesn't have all the good manners.

10:37

that they typically learn from mom. But she is affectionate and she loves to chew on your finger, oddly enough. Yeah, we're so sad because the one I was mentioning, she disappeared. We don't know if she got hit by a car or she went to a neighboring farm or where she went. But she had three litters in the two years that she was here and she was such a good mama. And I really miss this cat. I mean, she's a barn cat, but I miss her. She was so pretty. was a long

11:06

very long-haired calico cat.  Oh, how pretty.  and she was my son's best friend for a while. he was like, I said, are you sad that she's gone? And he was like,  well, we still have the black cat that the Humane Society said we would never be able to pet. And he's pretty friendly. So I'm OK. I was like, OK.  That counts for something. Yeah, for sure. Yes,  it's so funny. We adopted him, um God, four years ago now. And they swore up and down.

11:36

that we would never be able to pet this cat.  They swore he was aggressively feral.  They had a hard time vetting him, trying to give him his shots and check out his health and get him neutered. He scratched the hell out of people. oh They warned us when we got him to wear gloves when we let him out of the kennel the second day when you're supposed to. m

12:02

And  that cat has been nothing but nice and friendly since about a month after he got here. Yeah. So he took him a little time to adapt and then he realized you guys are friends. And he was like, okay, I guess I'm It's all right. Yeah. And he loves our dog. So  it all worked out, but  they were so worried that he was going to hurt us. And I was just like,  I think we got it covered. think it'll be okay. oh

12:31

All right, so I saw that you make jellies and they're gorgeous. Tell me about your jellies. Thank you. um Dan's family has always made jellies and Dan and I picked that up years ago. um And we used to just make them for ourselves and we give them as gifts. And then  people were like, you should start selling them. So we've started selling them. um But I love different flavors. I don't like  just the regular apple or, know,

12:59

grape, even though I make a mustard and grape, uh pretty much you can make jelly out of anything, right? So I have a lot of plant based jellies. have like rose petal and camellias, which are flowers and ah dandelion, which is one of my personal favorites. It's a bright yellow, just like all those bright yellow flowers you see on the side of the road. And it tastes like honey. It's truly like sunshine in a jar. Like it's delicious. uh And then  we grow a lot of things in the garden that we use. So

13:29

have a bunch of different jalapeno varieties. um Jalapeno pineapple is probably my favorite out of all of them.  It's delicious with like a pork chop or um chicken. It just gives it a  nice flavor. um But yeah, all the different berries, we grow our own fruit. So we have close to 80 fruit trees.  Yeah.  And so whatever is coming in season, we're using for um

13:59

for whatever we're making, which is pretty great.  What kind of fruit trees do you have? Oh, we have so many pears and those just finished producing for this year. So that was pretty exciting.  So pears and plums, peaches, um apple,  persimmons,  fig,  pomegranate, which those are so sad.

14:24

So my pomegranates, just they produce pomegranates, but the fruit just never makes it to maturity. So  I don't know, I'm going to have to do a little bit more research on how best to feed them,  because I think they need a little extra something.  But a whole bunch of different things, for sure.  Nice. I had to look up the definition of an orchard the other day. I have an article coming out in  Homestead Living Magazine.

14:53

They're going to every, they were every month and now they're going to be every two months. And so it's either November or December, I don't know how they've got it set up. And  my editor said to me, she said, so you said you have fruit trees, do you have an orchard? And I had to look it up because I thought an orchard was like hundreds of trees.  It is not. If you have five fruit trees, you have an orchard. Oh, well, there you go.

15:20

We have 20, so we have an orchard. We have a small orchard, I love it. I  love it.  And then my husband, I was telling him this, said, did you know we have a small orchard? And he said, no, we don't. And I said, by definition, we do. And I read it to him and he was like,  oh, he said, not only do we have an apple orchard, he said, we have a fruit orchard. And I said, we do. And he said, yeah, we have wild plum, we have um alderman plum.

15:49

We have  two peach trees,  we have  wild black raspberries.  He said, we have an actual orchard. That's amazing. I love that. We both just laughed because we had no idea that we were by definition growing an orchard. I think my husband always said we had an orchard and I was like, I don't know, babe. I don't think we have enough.  You do. You absolutely do.  So for sure, that's awesome.

16:17

And the other reason it's so funny to us is because our acreage is 3.1 acres and we have a small orchard on 3.1 acres. I love it. That's so cool though. Just laughed ourselves stupid. It's the best laugh we've had in probably a year. I was like, wow, that felt good. So it's exciting. I don't know about you, but I absolutely love everything we do on our property. The garden, the fruit trees, the berries.

16:47

the cats, the dog, the chickens. I mean, there are days where I'm like, man,  did we do the right thing? But every morning when I get up and get my coffee  and sit on the porch and watch the world wake up and listen to the chickens start  making noises, we don't have a rooster, so we don't have a crow,  but we hear them  clucking to each other. And I just,  have this  amazing sense of peace in the morning.

17:16

So what about you? How do you feel about it? Yeah,  I think it  is very rewarding. It's very peaceful. It's kind of like our own slice of paradise, I guess, right? Like just all the things that we enjoy.  it is. It's a lot of work. But I feel grateful um that we're able to  be so self-sustaining, um you know, and to be able to share that  with people.

17:46

in so many different ways. um I just think that is  one of the coolest parts of it.  And I love it for my kids, like for them to have autonomy, right? To be able to go outside and to have independence  and um to go over and pet the animals and, you know, to go over and pick whatever they want and eat it off the tree. Like, I just think that is  super special and such a tribute, right, to um so many generations before us.

18:15

Yeah, and your kids know where their food comes from. Yes. And it's so important. I,  every time I hear a little kid say that milk and eggs come from the grocery store,  I have to bite my tongue. I have to think before I speak. And I have to look at the parents and say, can I share something with your child?

18:44

And I say it really nicely and with as genuine a smile as I can. And they say about, and I say about where milk and eggs come from. And they go, sure. And  I explained to them that I grew up in the state of Maine and my  grandpa's friends down the road  had a dairy farm  and milk actually comes from cows.  And I explained that we have chickens and that eggs actually come from chickens.  And  kids look at me like I'm crazy.

19:14

And then they start asking questions and that's my favorite part so I can like educate them  about how that works.  And I have never had a parent get mad at me for explaining it ever. Yeah, I can see. I mean, it  makes you wonder if parents even understand truly the cycle of that part of it, right? Like,  you know, that there are large, large farms, right, that are producing and they're sending it to the store, but it goes through all this process before it makes it there, right? What is it like?

19:43

just for it to be next door. Yeah. think there's a lot of that missing. Yep. I can remember drinking milk at my grandpa's friend's house the first time. I think I was probably six. I don't remember much before I was six years old.  And um B,  I used to call her Aunt B. She wasn't actually related to us in any way, but she was so close to the family that that was what I called her.  Loved this woman. Like every time I think about her, my heart gets big.

20:10

And she asked me if I wanted some milk with the cookies she made. And I was like, sure. And she poured me milk from a pitcher, you know, as last pitcher from the refrigerator. And I remember taking a bite of cookie, swallowing the cookie and taking a sip of that milk and saying, what is this? Yes, it's so different. It's so good. She said, Mary Evelyn, it's milk. And I said, um, it is. And she said, yeah.

20:38

And I said, where did you get it? And she said, from the cows in the barn that you met last year. And I'm like, oh, from the babies? And she's like, well, not babies anymore, but yes. And  I said, um why does it taste so different from the milk in the fridge at home? And she said, because it's right from the cow. And she very carefully explained to me about pasteurization and how they pull the cream  off and blah, blah, blah.  I was six.

21:08

And I said, oh, I said, can you send some of this milk home with my mom and dad? And she was like, of course, sweetie, I can.  And so we had fresh cow milk for about three days because the other two siblings wanted it too. I was so bummed. I'm sure.  It's like that was mine. So to this day, when I can get my hands on fresh milk, I am all over it. It's so  good. It is so good. And it's so different. I  don't know,  even cooking with it just completely changes the taste.

21:38

Yeah, and wouldn't you wouldn't think that it would be that huge a difference, but it really truly is.  Um, so you were saying that when you started making your jellies that friends were like, you should sell these. I have, I have some thoughts on that whole thing.  Making, making and selling a product is completely different than putting your heart and soul into a small batch and giving it as gifts. It's expensive to produce for sale.

22:08

And we did it for a year and we do a little bit of it now, but we do not sell  handmade goods as much as we used to because it is so expensive to source the ingredients. Yeah. I think,  um,  there isn't much that we have to buy, right? Like we have to buy the jar  and  you know, we'll buy pectin, but sometimes we don't need it because we will have had some from whatever it was that we picked.

22:37

Right. Like some things have natural pectin, so there's no need for anything there.  Um, you know, and then there's the sugar and, know, lemon juice is easy to come by,  um, just from our own personal trees.  Um, so, I mean,  I, think it came out to like,

22:57

$25, $50 to  craft a jar  of jelly. If you sell them for  $8 at  a local market, that's not bad.  Selling online, you have to add in shipping and whatever the fees are. The margin is not, we're not going to get rich, but  it's a really good retirement plan.

23:26

at some point in the future. um And I just,  I enjoy it, I think really, like, there's so much more to it than just, hey, I'm gonna make this and I'm gonna sell it. It's what can I craft out of this that's different that someone might enjoy? Right? Like, I feel like that's more of what where it is like where we're at. um I don't know, I just I

23:52

My husband and I both, he's like the pickle master. That is like his all time favorite thing to produce. um And they're not really that hard to do. m

24:06

I mean, yeah, we're not  we can't quit our day jobs, right? em But I find that there is

24:14

It's a very self-rewarding task. It's a selfish act that becomes a selfless act. You are self-rewarding in the fact that you enjoy it, but you are being selfless in getting it out to other people. Yeah. That's a good way to think about it. Yeah. There are so many times where I feel so selfish about the things that I get to do and that I want to do.

24:43

And then when I share it with people, like, but it's not selfish because I'm sharing it with other people. Yes. And so it takes some of staying out of that immediate thought of this is selfish. I should be spending my time doing something else.  So yeah, it's, it's a weird dichotomy when it comes to that. But the reason, the reason I said that it can be expensive to produce to sell is  if you have all of the things available to you that you already own,

25:11

to produce the thing you're producing, then  it's probably way less expensive because you already got it. But in our case, we had friends,  we started making homemade soap years ago because store-bought soap made my skin itch.  And I had bought a  bar of um cold-processed lye soap at a Renaissance festival, and it was handcrafted, and after I used it, my skin didn't itch.

25:37

And I was like, can we try making soap? And my husband was like, yes, let's do it. And so we made some and we gave soap for Christmas presents. And people were like, can we, can you make more? Can we buy it from you? And that's all well and good, except that the stuff to make it doesn't exactly grow, you know, here. And so we ended up having to sell bars of soap at the time for $5 a bar. And that was on the low end. And.

26:06

Now we're selling them for seven, I think, when we make them. And that is way less than what it costs us to make them, but no one's going to pay $20 a bar for a bar. they're just not going to. the reason I bring this up is because most everyday Americans don't know what it costs someone who is hand making a product. They have no idea what it costs that person to do that.

26:36

the money and the time  and  the oopses that happen.  We've tossed batches of soap in the trash because we something wrong.  so it is all well and good to be passionate about something and enjoy doing it. And if it makes sense for you, then yeah, produce it and sell it and make people happy. But you don't have to sell the thing that you love to make. Very true. No, that's very true.

27:06

So it's been,  it's been pretty awesome to be able to share very Florida esque things  with people across the country. Right. Like  my Etsy shop, I do shipping for my Etsy shop. And it's been incredible to share with people things that grow here, right. That maybe don't grow there.  Yeah.  I've had a lot of people reach out that it was very interesting earlier this year, someone there was an article or news.

27:35

news, something in the news about Redbud Jelly in Ohio.  And within three days of that, like I was out of Redbud Jelly because everybody from Ohio bought it because they were interested in what it was because of some news segment, you know, so  it's just been interesting to me to, to be able to share it. it's, I don't know, it's just, it's, it's a different, it's a different thing, right? I mean, we've always done it for ourselves. So I guess

28:05

You know, we have everything to be able to produce it.  Um, that is just making a little extra, right? To be able to pass it on. Yes. I think I'm going to learn another new thing from you. What is redbud jelly? I don't even know what it is. Oh, red buds,  um, flowers.  Um, they're spring flowers on a redbud tree. Okay. Um, and you pick the flowers and then you pretty much process them like any other  flower. Like you make a tea.

28:33

out of them and then you use the tea um to make jelly. Okay, cool. What does it taste like?

28:43

I don't know, it's different. um

28:47

It's florally. It's got a little bit of lime, I think, to it. I don't know, it's red. It's a very pretty red color,  like a dark pinkish red. um I don't know.  They all taste different. It's hard to explain.  Well, that's fine. I'll just have to find a jar sometime and try it. for sure. A friend of mine, years ago, she was visiting my house where we used to live.

29:15

And my neighbor right next door had these hostas that bloomed pure white, not purple, white. And she was like, can I take some of those hosta buds home? Do you think your neighbor would share? And I was like, let me check. And my neighbor was, is generous to a fault. And she was like, yeah, how many do you need? And my friend said, she said, can I get like a gallon size Ziploc bag of them?

29:44

And my friend had a whole buttload of these plants.  She said, grab a bag  from Lynn, my nickname is Lynn.  she said, come over and pick what you want.  And so my friend went home and she made Hosta flour jelly.  And she actually mailed me a jar because she wasn't going to be down to visit for a while.  And it mostly tasted like lemon and honey because that was part of the recipe.  But there was definitely this beautiful um

30:14

floral note to it. And I know that people make jasmine jelly. Yes. And it was as close to jasmine jelly as I think I've ever tasted. It was really nice. So it's kind of amazing the things that you don't think of as food that actually are food. Yes. Oh, 100%. I think that's the most fascinating part of it, right? Like just what can you eat that you don't normally think of eating or ingesting?

30:41

And honestly, like the benefits of a lot of those things are pretty amazing. Like  most flowers have a very high content vitamin C and  D. even when you cook them down,  know, there's some of that is still there. So it's, it's kind of a really cool, really cool thing. Yeah. There are just, there's so many things. And when I started the podcast, my husband said,  aren't you going to run out of things to talk about? Aren't you going to get bored? And I just giggled.  I said,

31:10

I said Google homesteading and he pulled out his phone and he did. And I said, how many results does it say? And he's like millions. I said, yeah, we're going to get tired talking about this ever. And thank God I get to talk to people who like you who teach me about things like Roselle hibiscus plant and red bud jelly because I didn't know about either of those when I woke up this morning. have something else I can share with you that I think you'll be like, what is that? So tell me.

31:40

One of the other things that I really enjoy making are different vinegars.  So like vinegar is acidic, but it's an awesome probiotic. And so I have so many of those  in  different states, right? Of,  of fermenting.  Um, one of my favorites and one of my  best sellers is fig vinegar. Oh, Made from the fig leaves. So it has like this coconutty vanilla taste to it. It's incredible.

32:10

It is so good. Like a Greek salad with a little bit of feta cheese and some tomatoes and mix it with a little bit of olive oil. Oh man, it is delicious. Do you sell it? Yes. My husband's gonna kill me because I'm gonna have to look and maybe try to convince him to buy some. He's the one with the jobby job. So anything that I want to buy, always kind of run it by.

32:41

Because I respect him. works his ass off to keep us fed and housed. think that I need to ask before I buy things.  And hopefully someday the podcast will make me money and I can be like, um, I spent $20 of my money on vinegar and he'll laugh.  All right. I try to keep these to half an hour. We are past that by two minutes, almost three.  So where can people find you?  Um, you can find us on Etsy. We are bright acres homestead.

33:11

And we also have a website, brightacreshomestead.com.  And your Bright Acres Homestead on Facebook. you on Instagram too? We  are. Yes. Although my husband is our social media man. And so he pretty much mans the Facebook and he's in charge of posts.  But yeah, find us out there. We just hit 3000 um followers this week. So that was super exciting. um And I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.  sure.

33:40

Congratulations on 3,000. I think I have maybe 800 followers on my Facebook page. Maybe you'll get some traction with this.  I am always looking for traction with the podcast every day, every waking moment, and sometimes sleeping moments too. Sometimes I dream about the podcast. ah I had a question.  Oh, do you guys have a YouTube channel?  No.

34:04

But I'm thinking maybe that's something we'll do in the future. We have definitely kicked around  the idea of doing classes um for like lot of our local folks um and probably videoing them and putting them up on a YouTube channel.  So I think that is definitely the next phase um of something that we want to be able to do. That would be so much fun and so good for people to learn. um

34:33
