Frank: (00:00)Hey, what's going on everybody? I'm so sorry that I have literally fallen off the map. I think this last episode that I did was probably upwards of almost two months ago. So let me, let me first start by saying I'm sorry and that it actually happened for a very good reason. So over the last two months, it has been a whirlwind of awesomeness. And why I'm saying that is because we as a family have bonded in such a great way that the last two months I wouldn't give it back for a thing in the world. All right. We have been able to spend very good quality time together. We actually have decided as a family to restart homeschooling. And so that was one of the things that has kind of taken some time. And then there was a lot of other things that were related to both, uh, you know, the business of unconventional wellness as well as me helping with a project that we've got going on here in my home state. Frank: (00:59)So I apologize. But from now on, you will be receiving these great pieces of content from me every single week. And we will not let you back down. Okay. So I apologize for that. But welcome to the unconventional wellness. I am your host Frank Ritz. I am a service disabled combat veteran of the US army in which I had the pleasure of serving for over a decade in the U s army. And now I am home as they retired, uh, medically retired, uh, veteran, uh, oh here with my family on our wonderful farm in western North Carolina. Uh, where we raise actually here to animals. I'll tell you a little bit about the farm really quick, is that we, uh, we raise animals for a sustainable purpose. And what does that even mean? Well, a couple of years ago we, we figured that we wanted to start making the move toward organic food, right? Because you really are what you eat. Frank: (01:55)And so my wife and I made the conscientious decision to say, let's start moving toward nonprocessed organic food. Well, considering how crazy we are, we decided to take that one step further and we wanted to not only be able to go to the store and purchase organic food, but we said, you know what, we're going to just start creating in ourself. And so, uh, to folks pretty much born in the city decided that we were going to go ahead and go start a homestead. And, uh, and it's, and it's not been without its extremely hilarious moments and it's a really significant setbacks. But you know what? We just keep pushing on and now we can, uh, sit here and say that, uh, out of all of those experiences every single day, we've become even better farmers than the day prior. Uh, so we raise heritage animals. We figured that if we were going to do this in a sustainable way, we wanted to rate those, raise those animals that have been around for literally hundreds of years. Frank: (02:58)And these are the ones that are, have fallen off of production. So we raise these animals in a way that we give back to the land that we wonderfully live on. And we wrote, we just created this community of really a fantastic way of having these animals on the land. We're learning from these animals and they really help let you make mistakes. That's the good news about a heritage animals that these heritage animals have been around for hundreds
