What are your experiences with homesteading? What are you doing on your kitchen countertop, apartment balcony, city backyard, and beyond to boost your healthy food options?
Sounds like a fantastic expo. I'm a little jealous. After over 20 years on the farm I finally made kimchi as a way to preserve cabbage. Fermentation is definitely the way to go. It's extremely easy to make and I plan to experiment with many other vegetables in the future.
I loved Salatin's book, and the Ozarks is one of my favorite places in the world. Some of the most interesting people I have ever met live there. I wish we had such an expo here in central Minnesota. Perhaps I should look into starting one.
It’s not just the USA that has become disconnected with where food comes from I feel it is also the case here in the UK. Personally I feel if we eat meat ( and I do) then we should try to use as much of that animal as possible nose to tail. There is so much more satisfaction in a plate of food when you know the provenance of the meat. Homesteading isn’t really a term in the UK but a small holding is and we have a small one of those so I am really interested to hear how you do things over there.
As for fermenting it’s so good for you and in particular your gut health which I am learning a lot about about at the moment. I drink a lot of Kombucha which is a fermented drink I have tried making it myself but sadly not with much success. Have you any experience of that I would be keen to get some tips.
women who might feel “disconnected from the social norm.” Um, yeah, that’s me. 🙋🏽♀️
Sounds like an amazing weekend. Jealous. Intirely. Carrots and ginger are one of my favourite ferments. I love using whole baby carrots, of all colors. Kimchi is also a staple, I eat that with everything. Sourdough grilled cheese (raw) with kimchi is so, so good. Also - goats milk ice cream is wildly refreshing. Glad you had a great time!
Homemade vinegar—I’m a terrible cook, but I think of a vinegar scoby as a pet, and I’ve always had happy pets. I just received my Goat Milk Stuff! Thanks Lisa! The soap smells great, the unscented deodorant is a perfect consistency, and I am excited to try the laundry soap. Thanks again!

It was great to see you there, I think we were in several of the same talks. I would love to start a local homesteading women's group here in StL!
