Homesteading with children has been Teri’s normal. They were homesteading when their children were born and they continued homesteading after – only now incorporating the children in the daily tasks as is age appropriate. That might mean carrying the baby on the back while tending to the garden and animals or scheduling certain tasks around naptime. Continue reading
Cowception? What is that?
That is a very good question and I am not going to tell you. Claire is in this short podcast and I highly recommend that you all are going to listen.
Let me say that much. There were wildfires involved that came way to close for comfort – and, of course, cows. Continue reading

I have been a professional photographer since 1993, and have been shooting stock photography since 1996 when I moved to Florida and landed a job as an in-house stock photographer for SuperStock, a stock agency in Jacksonville. In 1998 I left the agency and branched out on my own, shooting what is known as macro stock for a company called Eyewire, which had previously been owned by Adobe, and was bought out by Getty Images. I shot exclusively for Getty for many years, but with the advent of microstock agencies, the business changed drastically, so I now shoot for 5 micro agencies as well as for Getty and for Alamy (a UK based macro stock agency.)

If you don’t know who Joel Salatin is, let me quote here a short bio I received from Joel.
Joel Salatin and his family own Polyface Farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Featured in the iconic foodie book Omnivore’s Dilemma and award-winning film FOOD INC., the farm’s moniker is “healing the land one bite at a time.” A prolific author (12 books to date) and speaker, he promotes local food systems, freedom of food choice, and farming systems that build the commons.
It All Began With a Seed This story of the gourd begins with my love for seeds and for growing things I have never seen before. That can be a good thing, or not. One…
Are homesteaders just moochers living off of “civil” society?
A recent opinion piece in Forbes magazine suggests that they are. And a brilliant homesteading blogger named Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper blog, articulately countered the argument on Zero Hedge.
I read Daisy’s article and thought it would make for an interesting discussion on our latest episode of the podcast.
But first Marianne and I share a little bit about how we are “mooching” on our respective homesteads!
Our journey on the sustainable living path led Marianne and I to create a weekly podcast a little more than two years ago.
This episode marks 100 times we’ve recorded and shared our thoughts, interviews and tips via the podcast.
In celebration of this milestone, Marianne traveled to my Big Bear homestead last weekend to brainstorm about our future plans and to record this episode.
Healthy, handmade food was hard to come by when I was a child.
My mom would be the first to say that cooking was not her forte’. But, lucky for her, Mr. Swanson, Mrs. Stouffers and many others provided pre-cooked meals that could be bought at the super market and stored in the freezer until needed.
So, for many of us, cooking amounted to opening a package and heating a frozen or canned meal up on the stove or in the oven.
Hey, it was the “modern” way, wasn’t it?
