Sustainable Alaska by Common Ground Alaska Farmstead ·

2024/10/17

Have you ever made a bucket list? I honestly haven’t but when we were traveling this week I found myself with lots of time to ponder and pray about the winter and to start thinking ahead. I also realized that oftentimes I make goals in my head but I never write them down and I seldom accomplish them. At first I thought about just making a list of goals but then the idea of a bucket list came up and I thought that sounded like tons more fun. So here is my list! I would love a reply - what

From the Source: HB251 2024 (AKA The Farm Bill)

Sustainable Alaska by Common Ground Alaska Farmstead ·

2024/09/14

With the passage of the new farm bill, HB251, it seems there are more questions than answers so I figured the best thing to do was to download the bill and the summary, study it, and then talk to the folks who wrote and helped pass the bill. In this interview, I talk back and forth with both Rep. Kevin McCabe who was a key player in making helping get this bill through to pass and Rep. George Rauscher who actually wrote the original bill. I don't necessarily feel all of the questions were

Truths About Milk - Raw & Unfiltered

2024/08/02

Raw milk seems to be in the news a lot lately - with proposed regulations and questions about spreading bird flu. I see so many people asking if it’s safe. In today’s podcast, I share how our family chose the dairy we get our raw milk from (How I determined it is clean and safe), why we drink raw milk, and how we use it. This winter in the Alaska Homestead Academy, we are going to release a series of classes on processing milk - from butter to yogurt to kefir to cheese - we’re going to learn

Upcoming talks for ticketholders only include: What is HAM Radio, Baking with Whole Grains,

We have some changes coming as we begin season 2 of the show. Many of you likely know that I am now also the host of Ag Matters Radio which is a huge honor! It's been so fun to interview folks in Alaska agriculture! However, the messaging is the same as our podcast, and we are interviewing many of the same people. Because of that, we are changing up the show to be heavier on teaching. Our tagline is that we are A Teaching Farm that Feeds Alaskans so this is right in line with what we do and

Okay, so we can't exactly GROW coffee in Alaska but we CAN roast it and drink it fresh. And let me tell you - drinking a cup of fresh roasted coffee is like eating a cantaloupe fresh off the vine. It'll ruin you for the old, mass-produced stuff - the flavor and aroma just don't compare! I got to talk with Zoe from Farm Loop Coffee - what a fun chat! Zoe is a soil scientist turned coffee roaster which gives her a super fun edge in her business because she understands how soil impacts

Having a root cellar is like the holy grail of homesteading. We all want one but few of us have actually figured out how to build it where we are at. If you need inspiration, wisdom, or even encouragement to think outside the box to get a root cellar at your Alaska homestead, then you definitely want to tune in to this interview with Andria Bond. Their journey to a root cellar certainly wasn't conventional (heck, it's partially above ground!) but it WORKS! If you want to learn more

Most often, when we talk about homesteading, we talk to young, healthy people who are all-in in this lifestyle. But there's an entire demographic we're missing. There are many, many elderly and physically challenged people who are also living this lifestyle - and thriving! I had the opportunity to chat today with Louetta Robinson - talk about an inspiring story! Not only is she ((ahem)) no spring chicken, she also has some pretty difficult health issues leaving her very physically
