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?

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!

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!

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.

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.
