Imagine buying bare land in Alaska and building your own farm from the ground up. Imagine raising cows and chickens there and growing virtually all your own food. Imagine doing this whilst also being a mum to three youngsters (two of whom are baby twins) and having a partner who works a job away from home.Today, Andrea talks to Amanda Callahan, the lady who is doing just that. Hear her share how her farm developed, how she manages it, the chores and her young family and lots and lots about the nourishing foods she feeds her children!* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Get 10% off any course at The Fermentation School: click here and use code AKP at checkout.Alison's course, Rye Sourdough Bread: Mastering The Basics is here, with a 10% discount automatically applied!Alison's oat fermentation course is here, with a 10% discount automatically applied!Get 10% off US/Canada Bokashi supplies: click here and use code AKP.Get 10% off UK Bokashi supplies.Visit our (non-Amazon!) bookshop for a vast selection of ancestral cookbooks: US link here and UK link here.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Our podcast is sponsored by Patrons in ancestral kitchens around the world!Patrons can choose to simply sponsor the podcast, or select from a variety of levels with benefits including additional bonus content, monthly live Zoom calls, a private podcast feed stuffed with bonus content from Alison and Andrea as well as our podcast guests, and a Discord discussion group.To read more about becoming a patron and explore the various levels, click here!* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * What Andrea asks Amanda:What is the last thing you ate before we started to record?Tell me about your farm - why Alaska - why sustainable - why so self-sufficient?Chores & kids - how do you do itLet's talk about feeding kids:what are some meals you makewhy do you eat this waykids and nourishing foods/organ meatshow do you encourage them now, so they will hopefully continue this way as adultspractical food ideasWhat is "the line" for you?
