Today is the first in a two-part series about 8 plants that you should grow in your yard or on your homestead if you can. Some of these are “wildly available” and others domesticated but all of them serve a culinary purpose.

Today April Ray of Radiant Acres joins me to talk about transitioning to the homestead from city living ---but not quite. Many folks need to have one person working a full time job while the other gets the homestead up and running.
April and her husband and three children live in Hampshire, Tennessee, a tiny town an hour outside of Nashville. Four years ago, after living their entire lives in big cities (Atlanta, Dallas, and Los Angeles), they moved out to the country with a desire to grow their own food and be more self-sufficient. But April's husband, Nick, kept his day job in Nashville and they've learned to be both city and country dwellers at the same time. They've discovered that homesteading isn't an all-or-nothing venture. Self sufficiency doesn't happen overnight. Instead, there's a long period of learning, growing, adventuring, failing, succeeding -- and commuting -- that takes place on the journey.

This is a shorter episode where I share something that occurs to me while out on a walk. We focus so much on getting things done around here that sometimes it is easy to forget to make time for your mind to wander and a walk is a great way to do that. Today, I have some thoughts on the great tradeoff of control for other things such as reach, security, money and more. There is a constant pressure between these things and many folks do not assess their choices with this knowledge in hand.

Today, I have a pretty short episode about family, making time for them, and why it matters. Why short? Because today, I am coming to you from California while visiting my family -- and nieces -- who I have not seen in over a year. And what a visit it has been. I will be here through Tuesday and fly home on Wednesday, which means that the podcast for Wednesday will be a replay because I have realized that flying across the country, and also recording a podcast is not going to work this week. But don’t worry. We will be back to normal on Friday...and the Holler Hat content post will go out as planned as it is the last one before Thursday’s drawing for a free membership!
