We will have more episodes coming to the feed soon, but in the meantime enjoy this yogurt mini epsiode!

We've gotten a ton of requests in the past few months to do an episode on chickens, especially for eggs. We actually plan on doing an special series on livestock in the coming year, including one episode for chickens for eggs and one episode for chickens for meat. But until then, we figured we could put together an episode on eggs, and not just from chickens, but from ducks and quail as well.
We go over the basics for raising any sort of poultry, from their coop, to food to water. We also talk a but about pasturing basics, and whether or not to give poultry an outdoor run, a pasture, a tractor, or just let them free range. We briefly dive into some of the specifics on raising chickens, ducks, and quail, as well as the pros and cons for each. and finally, we wrap up with a but of discussion about eggs, their nutrition, how to use them, and how to preserve them!
We hope this episode will help get you by until our deeper dive into livestock, and helps get you started on the journey to egg laying poultry.

Today we will be tackling our first ever fruit tree on the show, and what better fruit tree to start with than the ubiquitous apple tree. We've expressed our doubts about the utility of apples in the Revolutionary's Garden, but their presence across every american town and prolific nature make them worthwhile to talk about!
We talk about the colonial myths of johnny appleseed, various apple varieites, and some of the diferrences between root stocks, real roots, and dwarf and full sized trees.
While we can only briefly cover topics like pruning, we spend plenty of time on mulching, interplanting, and pest control for your apple trees.
And of course, if you like this epsiode, be sure to check out our other episode on apple cider, so you have plenty to do with all your fresh fruit!

As always our show is produced on occupied Abanaki land, specifically the land of the Kennebeck nation. We pay a portion of our show proceeds to the Wabanaki alliance in the form of rent. Remember, land acknowledgements are a good first step, and rents are better, but nothing is a substitute for land back and indigenous sovereignty.Today we would like to recommend the afro-indigenous farmer Chris Newman and his cooperative farm network Sylvanaqua farms. On top of a lot of great articles trashing colonizer farming, Joel Salatin, and more, Chris Newman shows all of the great work being done by his cooperative farm network and mutual aid projects. While you learn a lot just by following him on social media, if you subscribe to his patreon you get hands on round tables discussing cooperative farm practices and more.
