143-Debriefing Farm Fest 2020

Farm Fest 2020 was a huge success!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Farm, enjoyed great weather, music, vendors and visiting with each other.

On this episode of Farm Chatter, we recap the day, talk about next steps and just generally “debrief”. It’s what we do.

Don’t forget to post or send your pictures of Farm Fest, tag Five Feline Farm and you will be entered in a drawing for some great prizes! We are active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and email.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. The Mercantile will be open every Saturday from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM with additional days and times to be announced.

Until next time….

P.S. If you can’t make it out to the Farm, you can shop online any time in our online Mercantile.

139-Old Time Skills Are In Vogue Again

This year, 2020 has been like no other.

We have operated with a mindset of modern homesteading for a number of years. For us, modern homesteading means to practice as many of the skills of our ancestors as possible while still using modern conveniences.

For example, even though most of the bread we eat is made right here at home, often it is a bread machine doing the work.

Through this pandemic, others are beginning to embrace these same skills. We support their efforts. Their new skills however are impacting our practice of self-sufficiency. There have been waves of flour shortages, yeast shortages, and now it is canning lids and freezer bags.

Now we are reaching into our skill of flexibility and finding work arounds.

In this episode you will also hear us discuss the benefits of our Gert’s Garden Turmeric balm. This is a story of personal experience with this product. If you would like to get your own, you can order online or request when you visit the farm on Fridays.

Thanks for listening.

Until next time…
