Since we moved out to our 6 acre homestead, we have made it a practice to give a small gift to all of our neighbors out here in the country- we give them a little honey from our bees and a small gift my husband makes in his blacksmith shop - as a way to introduce ourselves and grow relationships in our area. It goes a long way toward goodwill thruout the year.
Way to go Lisa! I was surprised to hear things I hadn’t heard from his other interviews! I was thinking that there wouldn’t be anything we haven’t heard already from the million interviews he does. (Not that I mind, I love watching his interviews and learning from him.) but I was surprised you got info from him that I haven’t heard anyone else get before! Good job!
Fantastic podcast. I am on one acre and alone. I have gardens and bees and am struggling with my orchard. Hopefully next summer I will have fruit. After listening to this I want to go outside and do stuff. But yeah🇨🇦 snow is on the way. So now it’s craft season. And right now I’m knitting and watching homestead videos. Peace and love to you ☮️💟
I love you both and I am so appreciative to Joel for everything that he has done for the homesteading community. My only concern would be the perception of many of the “farm experiences” to draw customers in start to sound more like a farm theme park and so there is still a disconnect in the minds of the consumers (starting as children) between the foods grown and raised to going to the farm so your children can have fun. It’s a very thin line between having a good living off the land and only looking at the bottom line profit. I would be interested to hear how he is also educating his farm customers while they are there to emphasize the importance of healing the land so all of his hard work will be preserved far into the future. I chuckled when he talked about the farmer that farms because he doesn’t like being around people, admittedly, I would be that farmer 😂😂 so this comment does come from that perspective. Thank you both for all you do for the homesteading community and fighting for restoring our land and bringing farming back to how it really should be on the community level.
That was certainly our "dream" but none of our children were interested in taking over our homestead. So I tried to sell it to other homesteaders in our permaculture group and they were interested but none could afford it So after 7 months on the market, eventually sold to as local developer who turned in into a VBO. That broke my heart but my husband and were aging out and with growing cognitive decline and neurological issues we had no other choice. (My grand parents were dairy farmers but not one of the five children wanted to take it over either
@@Simplefarmhouselife it sure was. I want to start a craft farm, you know grow and raise things you can craft with... it's too long to explain but this really was super helpful. ❤️
We had a friend that had a dairy. She said production always went down if someone else milked. They had a granddad that had a dairy for years but even went down when he milked.
This made me miss our farm more than ever!!🥹 We farmed successfully - with more customers than product - on ten acres for over eight years ☺️ He is right about once you have the customers they will invest in the whole package that you offer!👌🏻SO many good things shared in this podcast! The fact that he said “swat team” and “cows” in the same sentence more than once must mean there’s a story there somewhere 😂😂
The forests in Europe are landscaped because they have few small forests, in comparison to ours. It would be impossible to do here what they do there because of the sheer sizes of our forests. They are also seriously overpopulated. We don’t have a single state, not even the small densely populated states in the east, that are as densely populated as Germany is.
Do you think 53 is too old to start a farm? My husband and i live in town, we have chickens and a garden and we are very familiar with homesteading because he and i were both raised living on the land. We would love to buy a farm someday, but i struggle with thinking we are too old. Lol.
Age is just a number really....a better measuring stick is your physical health and strength and commitment. Knowing your limits...knowing your goals and focusing on those....sounds like you already have the skills and understanding of what it takes!
I don't know this man but he seems to be the real thing. Most of the people who claim to be homesteaders are making their living from computer channels. That doesn't really fit into the definition of homesteader. Maybe you should call yourself computer homesteaders.
Joel has been contacted by Trump to be an advisor to the Secretary of Agriculture, which will be Thomas Massie! Awesome!!!
@@meve531 Fantastic! 🎈🎉🇺🇸🙏
I agree and with RFK Jr.'s. passion for cleaning up the ag industry---what a team! Exciting news. I have seen Joel testify before Congress. Was great.
This has not been confirmed.
It has now been confirmed!!!@@juless9277
This is a blessing for our country !

I'm sure they are delighted to receive such a thoughtful gift!

At my gym a lady just turned 100 and does water aerobics near to daily, she loves it and loves seeing her friends.
I had a 102 year old lady as a hairstyling customer. I colored her hair until she went into a nursing home. She passed at 103 and a few months.
A friend at church is 107 and will be 108 in June. Very healthy lady too.

I adore Joel! I finally got to meet him this year at the homesteaders conference.

Sounds like you've got a great homestead going!

Wow I follow Joel and listen to him in soil.
I’m not going into a business but we still can learn a great deal
Yes...he is full of wisdom!!
Lisa ❤ Great episode! This man is full of so much wisdom and experience! Thank you for this!❤️
Ahhhh i was like which video did i click on ?! ♡ amazing to see joel coming on a homemaking channel!!
Whoa! The Salatin Himself!
This is awesome! I want to have a little homestead. So inspiring. Two of my favorite people.
What a dynamic duo!! Lisa, you are such an incredible interviewer!!
Frick yes! Two awesome inspiring people having this conversation is very hopeful. ❤
I do drive half an hour for eggs after the farmers market closes for the season.
Lisa! This is gold. Your description should have included Joel’s name!

I'm sure that was a difficult decision.
Ugh that’s so sad
How about interviewing Lea from Little house on the mountain? Maybe about spiritual wealth, treasuring time, simple living, herbs, etc.
What a great show! I only wish I could start over & try out this life from the beginning. Thank you, Lisa.
I absolutely loved this!!! So many ideas are now running through my brain
I’m so happy this video was helpful!
@@Simplefarmhouselife it sure was. I want to start a craft farm, you know grow and raise things you can craft with... it's too long to explain but this really was super helpful. ❤️
Fantastic episode!!! Thank you for making this happen. Full of key information for thriving!
Love listening to Joel Salatin! Great interview!❤
Thank you! I enjoyed it too.
We didn’t have processing equipment. My husband killed and picked. I gutted and cut up and froze. We only did 25 at a time.
Great video. I always enjoy hearing from Joe. Very wise and inspiring man.
He truly is!
We had a friend that had a dairy. She said production always went down if someone else milked. They had a granddad that had a dairy for years but even went down when he milked.
Joel is amazing and I loved this podcast!
Great interview. My parents’ neighbor lived to 104.
wow!
Super interesting guest. Very knowledgeable.
Great video!
great conversation!!

Wow $15 a gallon of milk 🥛 we have a jersey cow and non gmo food n we get $4 a gallon
Wow! I’m in Georgia and local milk is $7-8 per half gallon. Even commercial organic milk from the chain grocery store is $7/gallon
I pay $18 a gallon for raw milk. I'm in California.
The price for raw milk seems to vary wildly from region to region.
I live in eastern Washington and pay 12$ a gallon for raw milk. Worth every penny!
