Sometimes reading the book is better than watching a movie because you can use your own imagination. Sometimes the movie can help when one doesn't know about certain things in the book.
My cows are unvaccinated, because I started with 2 vaccinated dairy cows and raised their daughters for milk and their boys for temporary bulls and steers for the freezer. I'm located in Northern California with a 'closed herd' . I have 2 extra yearling heifers.
Josh prayers for you for a quick recovery, hope you feel 100% very soon! Great info about moving mulch in order to amend the soil, using store bought buttermilk as a starter, temps to store ferments etc. Merry Christmas ๐ to both of you, and your family!
Hi Guys, i have only recently found your channel and love listening to you and your catelogue. I do have a couple of questions or maybe please do these vidoes. I would love an understanding permaculture 101, maybe a short video showing how you do it on your homestead. Also i dont have snow in my area so i would love to see a video on what you do for those big snow packs you tell us about. On the food front i would love to know how to use dehydrated food – i only use it as dried fruit, herbs or teas. But you seam to use it in other things, i was wondering how to do so and what to use it in. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Thanks for your help – Nicola
Pantry chat is my favorite! I sit down with my morning cuppa and it's great inspiration to get into the garden. Just hitting peak summer here in Australia.
Can you guys do a video on life on your homestead in the winter. ? I would like to see your covered high tunnels .what is a day in the winter of your homestead? From Ontario
@34:00..bean tunnel/hoop Not knowing where those folks are, or the amount of snow they get…but up here in eastern Washington our snow loud can be 2 – 3ft. It's suggested that you support a trellis/hoop every 2 feet (maximum of 3ft). I used welded hog fencing and arched it, and less than a foot collapsed it. This year I reinforced with 3/8ths rebar.
I am new to gardening and noticed you mentioned slowing down in year 7. Do you take a sabbatical year from gardening? If so, how does that work as far as sustaining the family foodwise?
I rarely get sick but caught a bug about 6 weeks ago. It wasn't Covid and really wasn't all that bad after the 2nd day. Unfortunately it really hit my stamina and I haven't recovered. I was out dismantling a garden this morning Nad it really woe me out more than it would have just a couple of months ago.
We sell miniature Jersey cows in TN and I am happy to put people on a wait list. We only vaccinate when a customer wants it, or again, as Josh said, according to necessary state laws. Blessings guys! Great podcast! Always love hearing what you're up to! ๐

Josh….u do look tired….I know it is hard to do but u gotta slow down …rest and relax a bit!
I have a lot of chicken/turkey fat off the thanksgiving birds and was wondering if I would render this fat the same way I would beef/pig?

Why does this channel not show people how to do things anymoreโฆ
Cream separates when frozen and the fat goes crumbly. I use it for baking only .
Ohhhh I love brother cadfael! Like sister Fidelma and a bit of father Brown mysteries ๐
Haha, takin' it easy is the biggest challenge.

GAPS requires that chicken manure be composted for 120 days if you. are selling that veggie product to the public.
QUESTION – are you guys going to do a year in review like you did last year? I really enjoyed that episode ๐
i love yalls pantry chats!!
Good chat. Hope you feel better real soon. I like that you two will slow down a bit. Merry Christmas
๐๐
You two are amazing I adore you both

I've heard baby chicks are vaccinated before they are sent off to their new families. Is this true for your chickens?
You should do a BEFORE and AFTER pantry tour. It would encourage those who think this has to be done perfectly, to simply DO IT.
Josh, you look to be feeling a lot better. Great ๐
LOVE the Cadfael series!! He uses his knowledge of herbs to solve murder mysteries like CSI, but a lot less sophisticated.
Next week can you start the video with a shot of the farm to show us how much snow you have?
