Today, after a week of caring for my goat, I will review the 9 lessons that Mama Sauce learned from Clover, our goat. #HollerHatWednesday: What is she on and where is she going? Mewe Reminder: 730-8 Stump the Sauce Lynn on generators in a vacation rental in the mountains. What's Up in the AP 3 60 watt bulbs kept our plants mostly alive through a 16 degree night Thai water spinach, Water hyacinth, malabar spinach and ginger are all in the house. Forgot to move peppers or the avocado tree Setting up an indoor grow area for microgreens and lettuces Main topic of the Show: 8 Lessons the Gat Taught Mom Even though the goat pulls hard on her chain when you walk her, never wrap said chain around your hand to get a better grip lest you become bruised. When the goat becomes tangled to a tree and you need to untangle her, never place your finger between the tree and her chain. I thought I had crushed the bone… When leading the goat on her chain in the morning to her first grazing spot, hold the chain with both hands and lean way back as if you are on a ski rope tow. Each morning, when letting the goat out of her barn, you open the door then wait until she brings her head back before skiing to her first browsing spot. Similarly - release the hook with her tether from the barn gate BEFORE you open the latch to the gate. In the evening when moving the goat to her barn, all you need to do is un hook it from her tether location and she will drag the chain back with her - holding the chain while she does this is a bad idea. Each day in the morning, you must wait for the obligatory peach tree leaf munching before leading her to her first grazing location. Then walk he from this location to that asking her which plants she prefers to eat today. The more trees there are near the tether location, the more times she will wind and loop the chain around things in a crazy way. Similarly - the harder the terrain is that she is on, the more winding up of the chain she will do in order to improve the chances of pulling you off your feet when you come to move her. Don't tether the goat where she can get up on things - particularly the poultry corn barrel. Make it a great week! GUYS!

John Moody, author of the weed book (Winning the War on Weeds), producer of Abby's Elderberry, food policy geek and all around great guy is here to talk with us about going rogue with food production, as well as a really cool conference he's got for us in late January. I for one plan to be there and serve some coffee! But first Holiday Gift Registry Reminder Next Week: Jack's Workshop Show Resources John's Website Abby's Elderberry Rogue Food Conference Main content of the show FROM JOHN ABOUT JOHN I am not your typical farmer. Most people probably don't consider me typical anything. Farming and homesteading were not something I ever planned to do. But I am now glad I get to do them. Growing up, I enjoyed a varied diet of video games, cartons, and processed foods. Dental decay, seasonal allergies, and constant sickness were the inevitable result – a result that doctors and other denied was connected with my family's food and lifestyle choices. In my early 20s, I was waylaid by duodenal ulcers, my body's final warning that some things were dreadfully awry. Thankfully, I listened. Over the course of a year, my fiancee (now wife) Jessica and I completely changed our understanding of food – what is food? How should it be raised? How should it be prepared? This lead to thinking long and deep about farming, and eventually, moving out to a farm of our own. Interview Make it a great week GUYS!

I had a request over on the Mewe chat group to talk about what to have in your car for winter. And since this is a topic that every homesteader should have a handle on, since most of us live far from help, I thought - perfect topic. Better yet, it applies to everyone as we start seeing snowstorms and freezing temperatures. #HollerHatWednesday: Who is wearing her and why does she look so sad?
