Main content of the show

Sarah Thompson uses the tools of classical homeopathy and shamanic perspectives to help you heal at the deepest level of susceptibility with safe homeopathic remedies and curated personal support. Her own path to transformational healing came through her diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2010; if you are struggling with chronic ill health on any level, and feel as if you can't get answers or make sustained progress, Homeopathy clears the way. Sarah trained at the Baylight Center for Homeopathy, the Academy for Homeopathic Education, Jaguar Path School of Shamanism, and Nancy Frederick Attunement, and holds certifications and registrations from the Association for International Homeopathic Certification, the Council for Homeopathic Certification, and the North American Society of Homeopaths

Frugality Tip from Dan

My first tip is to have gorilla tape, wherever you go. If you have quality pens that you can replace the ink, wrap it with as much tape as is comfortable for writing, and keep it until you use it. You never know when some formally tape is the difference between driving home and getting towed, which is a big difference of time and money. Also, who knows what other problems can be fixed for long enough to replace or properly fix the issue. It has saved my butt.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry

• Not planning to do the "in-person" Autumn resupply until after SRF as a matter of tidiness
• Dawn Gorham's Tomatoes sparked an idea
• Managed to get more dried tea
• Zooming Out - A story from the networkI don't know how I missed this, but it autoplayed on the perfect day. Because of timing, I'm not the person that "has a failed rabbitry and I know who I am" because in August I hadn't yet let myself acknowledge that I have a failed rabbitry. I didn't know I was that person yet, so Nicole couldn't have been talking right to me. Could she? 😬My mushroom gig has been On Point! But one of these pictures is not like the others.The reality of the gorgeous golden oysters with perfect Renaissance lighting is that I took the picture at midnight and that was the only clean spot on the counter.. correction, only clean surface in the kitchen.. further correction, only clean surface on the first floor of my house. >>>Zoom Out Wednesday

• Crockpot chicken stew with backs and legs

Frugality Tip from Margot

Don't you hate it when you reach for that tube of glue and it all hardened and you can't squeeze any out, then you pop it with a pin and glue your fingers together. Yeah me too!!

I now buy multi packs of small tubes of crazy glue (cheapest is the 4 pack at the dollar tree) or e6000 for ceramics and glass (cheapest I've seen this 4 pack is on Amazon, unless you got to JoAnn or Michaels with a coupon). The multi packs are usually the same price and you don't really cry when one of the little ones is hardened up, because you you have extra tubes.

Operation Independence

• Got top-quality, organic hay for the sheep at $5 a bale
• Final Hipcamper of the season

Main topic of the Show: Defining Homesteading

You know what is outrageous? People telling other people that they are not "real" homesteaders for stupid reasons. Reasons like they do not have enough land. Or their barn is not cool enough. Or they don't raise ALL their food from their land. Or they outsource butchering. Or they use electricity and are not off grid.

There are many reasons WHY people attack fellow homesteaders for not being PURE.

And it bleeds. It bleeds into the psyche.

I have heard from some of the baddest assedest homesteaders that they "feel" like they are not really homesteading. I mean, we are talking people from whom I have learned to make sourdough, or a better way to compost. People who have GIFTED me seeds they saved.

People you probably follow.

THEY are starting to doubt if they are homesteady enough.

What is behind all this, anyway? I started digging through some comments that I found online about "real" homesteading and, not surprisingly, I found a bunch of accounts with few to no followers, no content, and probably run by the same person or small group of people.

Guys, some people are just better and the best thing you can do for your future is learn to step around bitter people. And this means NOT taking on any emotional baggage from some rando on the internet telling you how you must define "real" homesteading.

It's hard enough to keep all these heartbeats going without worrying about wether or not what we are doing is real.

So what is REAL homesteading - some things that have tapped into the homesteader's spirit in the last 150 ish years?

• The Homestead Act perspective, 1862
• Back to the land 1
• Hobby farming
• The slow march corporatization of food and farming makes small, family farms rarer
• Small scale farming and back to the land 2 and 3
• Backyard chickens, hippies, and organic food hipsters

The question is NOT are you or are you not a "REAL homesteader, but rather how are you tapping into the homesteading spirit?

1. Do you work for your home or does your home work for you?
   1. Gain value from your environment while living in harmony with it
2. Heritage SkillsGardens, food livestock, etc

Main content of the show

My name is David Hughes, AKA Farmer Dave. I have been a market grower for 25 plus years and nurseryman for 14 plus years. I own and operate Rock Bridge Trees on 8 1/2 acres in Bethpage, TN, selling to customers all over the country. We specialize in Pecans, Hazelnuts, Hickories and other nut producing trees and would love to teach the small-space homesteader how to make their property self-sustaining through the power of nut trees and growing slow food.

Why grow nut trees on the homestead?

What kinds can be grown?

Where and how can they be grown?

Do I grow for myself or for a market?

How much work is involved in growing nut trees?

How do nut trees work with livestock?

Make it a great week
