This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.slowdownfarmstead.comWhen I was a little girl, somebody gave me a book called “Tasha Tudor’s Christmas”. That book became one of my most treasured possessions. I remember pouring over the illustrations and reading every single detail within. I was enchanted with a time when simple, handmade things were held with such reverence. Even at such a young age, I think I was around seven or eight years old at the time, I dreamed of living in

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.slowdownfarmstead.comI had it suggested to me that a day-in-the-life type essay is about due. I must admit, I do like a good day-in-the-life. It’s fun to see how other people cobble their lives together to excavate the meaning and pleasures in a day. So, I’ve agreed to the challenge. I thought this might best be done with pictures and commentary. My intention here is to be as real as possible. I wasn’t going to save up some unusual

To hear more, visit www.slowdownfarmstead.comI thought I should probably submit a little report on what’s happening with our decision to eat solely from our farm, but to be quite honest, there’s not much to say. It’s no different than any of the last few years with the exception of my awareness of what’s dwindling.I’m cognizant of how many steaks were eating because when they’re gone, I’m not going to buy some from my beefy farmer friend. All that lives in

To hear more, visit www.slowdownfarmstead.comIt was many years ago now that I found myself standing in a dingy corner of a laundromat, toe-to-toe with a raging woman, steeling myself for a fist fight. Her daughter, I’d guess around six years old, was sitting under the folding table, quietly picking at the peeling squares of linoleum. I couldn’t take it anymore. Better a fight than standby and listen to another word out of the mother’s mouth. For half an

I love Christmas, it’s my favourite time of year although this year, admittedly, we are going into the season with a great deal of trepidation and feeling somewhat deflated. This will be the first Christmas in 30 years that I don’t have a child to celebrate with

When I told my husband, Troy, that I was going to be writing a piece about the art of dawdling, he replied, “I better read it. I don’t think I know how to dawdle.” And then after a pause he asked, “Have you ever seen me dawdle?” No, I don’t suppose I have. But maybe I’m not supposed to.I submit that a resolution to embrace the fine art of dawdling may j… This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.slowdownfarmstead.com

A famine of common sense and courage can only bring about a glut of cowardice and lunacy. That’s just the way the world works. Starve reason, feed the unreasonable. Take a look around, we all know it. Everything that was solid has been diluted. All the touchstones, shifted. All the rules eroded. Anything that was tho… This is a free preview of a paid episode.

I don’t want to write this essay, but I am compelled beyond my capacity to ignore. I write this essay for every parent who doesn’t know about this threat to their children. I write it for anyone, anywhere that might just know the person or people this is intended for. I know they’re out there, I just don’t know who they are. And I write this because my daughter, Mila, who died by suicide on May 10th, 2021, insists that I do.Suicide is multifactorial. A vile symphony of parts that come together in a
