I had a request to talk through my tools - as in which tools I have and why. Rather than go through the exhaustive list, I thought I would run you through what is in my tool bag in the house - and then I will heartily complain about what is not because sometimes it happens that I or another visitor grabs something from the bag and does not put it back, which drives me batty when I need the thing.
Last week’s Holler Hat was making cheddar cheese.
Thursday Webinar is a Property Walk of the Holler Homestead. Then we will drop to monthly with Google My Business being the topic in May.

Today is Friday and we have a Thought of the Walk Episode. I was inspired to talk about something no one is really bringing up - getting past this economic disaster and health problem. Governments everywhere are rolling out plans to "restart the economy." WTH?? It is not up to the government to do this - it is up to us.
May your weekend be fruitful and your beacon shine brightly.

Today, I hopped over on Mewe to ask what folks would like to hear about and got a laundry list of ideas. Mr. Eash posited one that I thought would be timely today: changes you might want to make to be ready to not leave for 4 weeks in light of our extension through April 30 on stay at home orders. He was asking from the perspective of a homestead, but I will take a bigger lifestyle view of this.

Today at your request, I talk through practical approach to building side hustle income into your life. This is meant to help you get the right frame of mind as you build revenue streams, rather than send you off to try 14,000 new hustles. Because right now, there are opportunities, if just working at Krogers for a month or two, and no need to feel totally hopeless about income if you have lost your job.

Today, we talk through three ways to kickstart your fresh vegetable pipeline if you are running into grocery store shortages. I have been hearing varied reports of fresh vegetable shortages, or conversely way too many fresh vegetables and thought now would be a good time to talk through some of the faster ways to get something fresh back into your diet in as few as 3-4 days.

Today, I get the honor of talking to a fella who I have admired for years, who cares about freedom and who understands that food security throughout the country would be vastly improved if we could get the government regulators out of our business and let folks sell food to one another, from the bottom up rather than further a centralized food system that puts us all at risk when deliveries no longer come for whatever reason.
