Wee Wild Woman and The Fat-Man Farmer

Episode 42 Buying meatdirectly from a producer

Today on the podcast I talk about buying meat directly from a producer. There are several ways to do this and several thing you should know. I am both a consumer and a producer. Going back to when we first started buying direct, some things I wished I had known. And now as a producer some things I would like to share having been on both sides. We we get new customers we like to talk to them in one on one and make sure there are no assumptions and some things we think they should know before purchasing. Take a listed and if you have more questions reach out to us. 

Episode 41 New Homestead Advice Part 2

We are finally back and Wee Wild Woman joins me today as we give you a farm update and FINALLY finish out our new homestead advice from our perspective. 

Episode 40 New Homestead Advice Part 1

Wee Wild Woman joins me again as we discuss things to consider for a new homestead, from our experiences and lessons learned. We had to do this as two parts because we simply ran out of time. Some of the topics covered are Observing for 1 yr, livestock guardian dogs, type one errors, doing too much all up front and too fast, assumption that a tractor is necessary for a homestead, planting and fencing in the wrong places. All this was from our own experiences and things we learned the hard way. Learn from our errors and mistakes so you don't make them as well.  

Episode 39 Learning opportunities because we homeschool

Wee Wild Woman is back for another episode. Today we talk about the homeschool program we use, and some of the bonus opportunities for education she would not get in a government run school. We used AI to generate a new intro for us. Let us know what you think. Connect with us on our Facebook Page. https://www.acellusacademy.com/https://www.facebook.com/WBFarms
 

Episode 38 Farm Update

It has been a while, and we have some updates from the farm. I say WE because Wee Wild Woman joined me today as we are FINALLY done lambing and she managed to sneak away for a bit. We talk about what is new on the farm, what we have been up to, and where some things are heading. Just and FYI if you were thinking about sheep we have a bunch that need new homes. 

Episode 37 Why farms and homesteads ”fail”

Once again just the Fat-Man Farmer as Wee Wild Woman on lamb duty. Today we talk about why homesteaders and farms "fail". Over they years I have worked with and consulted with many clients from homesteading to production farms. "Fail" isn't really a fail it is a lesson to learn for the future. I run down some of the pitfalls and cautions that can cause frustration, and sometimes causes people to "give up". But you shouldn't "give up" if this is your passion. It may sound doom and gloom but if you go into these situations with eyes open the "fails" may be more speed bumps vs an out right failure. 

Episode 36 DIY items from the homestead Part 1

AGAIN no Wee Wild Woman. She was at home with a bottle baby today. We try everything we can to have no bottle babies but had a mystery baby just appear in a place we shouldn't have any babies. Today I talk about some of the different things we make from scratch or DIY products we make on the homestead. Despite not having Wee Wild Woman I though I might have a CLEAN episode. NOPE! I got frustrated with traffic and missed my exit (again) and just started potty mouth from that point forward. From DIY toothpaste to compost tea, wine and ice-cream with lots inbetween and how to make and sometimes costs. With it being a longer than normal episode, I STILL ran out of time and will have to do a part 2 and maybe part 3. Wee loves to be on the podcast, but takes her animal responsibility as a priority. 

Episode 35 Two is one and one is none

If it just The Fat-man Farmer today as Wee Wild Woman is at home doing lamb checks and taking care of all the new babies. Today we talk about building redundancy into your life and homestead. Where are your critical points of failure. How could you prevent them. Are YOU your homesteads critical point of failure? Food? Energy? Water? We talk about how we have built redundancy into our homestead and lives. 

Episode 34 Things that piss Wee off

This is another pissing off the bear episode and we didn't even scratch the surface. I really need to make a list to go off and stop going on side quests. But....today we cover several things, especially taxes as it is currently tax season, as well as several other topics that gets her blood to boil. We do venture down the rabbit hole and talk about LA riots, BLM, Rodney King, Reginald Denning and how that relates to BLM. Some topics were before her time but before she can fully understand how some of the current events (BLM riots) were shaped by the past. I ask her to explain why some things make her upset to find out is it regurgitation or is it her own opinion. For the most part, her own opinions shaped by her own experiences ("protesters" banging on our car windows) and her own research. 

Episode 33 Current Events and Wee

Another exciting episode with Wee Wild Woman as we talk about the current events going on (3-2023), her understanding of them, and her opinions about them. Be warned there is some loud and questionable language as she reacts to the deeper context of the events. We do talk about some topics which may get us....CENSORED. I mean, 3 years ago people and pages were banned or accounts were terminated for speaking about certain topics, and now, we are finding out all that "bad" information or "false news" actually turns out to be TRUE, go figure.
