While my veggies didn't fair so well (it takes REAL talent to take second place in not one but TWO classes where you are the only entrant), I did MUCH better in canning. Every item but one placed and 2 won best in show!!!

Making more fair memories as a family. Last year .wellsjr didn't get to help us get to the fair. This year, he did. Because it's been so rainy, the birds feet are all muddy. So, Benny got a pedicure. The others will get a pedicure at the fair tomorrow. Need to check in veggies and 2 Rhode Island Red hens tomorrow and then it is fair time!!!!

Spent the afternoon processing the spring batch of meat birds with my dad and my son.

These have got to be the most "chickeny" Cornish X I've raised. Active. Curious. They do more than just sit, eat and p**p. The males are probably ready to.process this weekend but I'm going to push them another week before processing.

Season 4 launches tomorrow!!!! #thehomesteadjourney #thehomesteadjourneypodcast #homestead #homesteading #homesteader #518homesteaders #mediterraneandiet #emptynesters
Getting ready to launch season 4. Part of that includes a new intro. This is what I'm leaning towards. I figured I'd get feedback from the listening audience. Please respond with your vote below: 1. I love it. It's got me hyped for season 4. 2. It's ok. But, you could do better. 3. Intros are for chumps. I'll never listen and skip it anyhow. 4. It sucks. I'd rather listen to Yoko Ono sing the phone book. 5. There was nothing wrong with the old one. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! #thehomesteadjourneypodcast #thehomesteadjourney #podcast #homesteadpodcast #homesteading

Sometimes it is tempting to just show the pretty parts of homesteading. It's tempting to gloss over the difficult pieces, the mistakes and the failures. On episode 118 I am joined by @farmishkindoflife as we talk about keeping things real on the homestead and how authenticity can lead to great connections and conversations with people struggling with the same challenges.

Our abundant harvest of sweet potatoes for 2021
Sweet potato harvest revealed.....
They say that in Vermont, the only time people lock their car doors is during zucchini season. When you're blessed with an abundant harvest, what can you do with it so as to not make enemies with your neighbors? https://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/podcast/episode/4e47969a/fmf12-what-am-i-gonna-do-with-all-that-zucchini
A few weeks ago, I ran into a friend of mine at church that I hadn't seen in awhile. While we were catching up, he was asking me about some of the things I had been posting on Facebook. And then he asked me this question, "Brian, how do you get it all done??!!" And I was forced to share my dirty little secret......... https://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/podcast/episode/4cda67b9/s1e92-my-dirty-little-secret
