TweetPeter and His Kiddo Living the Dream On Farm!

Peter brings his ecological background to his farming practice. He spent a decade at UW-Madison, teaching courses in ecology and complex systems theory, and researching the history and functioning of midwestern ecosystems.

He realized the critical role that animals play in the creation and maintenance of functional ecosystems. He also realized that in order to achieve broad-scale ecological restoration, it must be an economical viable pursuit. He therefore became determined to work with livestock toward ecological regeneration, and Mastodon Valley Farm was born.

Now he spends his days observing and interacting with an increasing diversity of plants and animals working in concert towards the abundant production of food, medicine, fiber, lumber, and energy. He continues to teach through our on-farm courses and consults with other landowners interested in implementing regenerative techniques on their own sites.

TweetSome See “Trash Fish” but I See Dinner

A friend and I have been talking about fishing a lot lately, it is still cold, the winds are stupid this time of year, but man I have the bug.  It is likely that I will be investing in a boat in March, and will be hitting some of the bigger lakes in the are.

I really do love simply bank fishing and shore fishing though.  Something about the simplicity, park the car or truck, a short walk with your gear and a cooler with a few beers and hopefully some stuff worth frying up by day’s end.   With surf fishing it is a long drive but the experience is even better, standing up to your waste while schools of fish and the occasional shark swim by, (no I am not kidding) with the anticipation of never knowing what you might catch next.

Fishing has become a massive industry even at the “recreational level”, I know people with 55,000 dollar “bass boats” filled up with 15,000 dollars worth of gear.  (once again not kidding) These people fish constantly and never keep a fish, yet refer to fish like Sand Bass and Bullheads as “trash fish”.

I don’t know, perhaps it was growing up without a lot but a love for the outdoors that keeps me grounded.  I have been off shore for Marlin, in the Florida bays catching Snook longer than my leg, on Gatun Lake in Panama after massive Peacock bass and deep into the mountains for brook trout that had never likely seen a hook in their lives.  There is more, I have quite literally at times been an “adventurer fisherman”.

Yet I still enjoy bouncing slabs for sand bass or just sitting at a small stock pond catching small bullhead catfish or fishing a back water creek for various perch/brim/sunfish.  I also enjoy standing in the surf and catching whiting, hard heads and gaftops.  And in many ways it is these fish I most enjoy eating.

They are small, tasty, fast to clean, they have a great size to yield ratio and you literally can’t harm their populations with hook and line.  Today we talk about this type of fishing and the food value it brings to your home.
