In 2021 Tara and her family got the knock on their door that every parent fears most. In the days that followed they discovered eighteen-year-old Mila's journal and were able to piece together the shocking and devastating chain of events that led to her death. Tara's Instagram and Substack, Slowdown Farmstead, is followed and admired by tens of thousands of people. Tara and her husband raised their three daughters on their beautiful Canadian farm, lovingly tending to and butchering their own livestock in order to nourish their family and community. Deeply acquainted with the cycles of nature, Tara has a perspective on the interconnectedness of life and death that was the daily reality for our ancestors but eludes most modern people. But that did not prepare her for what could happen when a drug that is now bred to be as strong as any pharmaceutical- and which is often misunderstood as being a benign herbal medicine- snuck its way into her daughter's life at a vulnerable time and completely rewired her brain in a matter of months. It is our hope that sharing Mila's story will make more people aware of the increasingly common psychosis that is a side effect of the new high-THC strains of cannabis on the market, and especially of its dangers for the developing teenage brain.

Farm-to-glass breweries are a truly phenomenal experience as a drinker, so it was such a pleasure to chat with some folks who are doing one of the finest in the province. Phil and Gail of GoodLot Farmstead joined Cee and Nate to talk about their journey from leaving the city to buy a farm, starting to grow hops and learn about beer to becoming a full-fledged brewery, why sustainability is important to them, their approach to beer and why they focus on all-Ontario ingredients, the difference between organic farming and regenerative farming, how they've crafted their impeccable beer garden experience, their phenomenal food program via chef Phil DeWar of Soulyve, and the collaboration between the Caledon breweries. They got into some of GoodLot's amazing brews - Farmstead Ale Pale Ale, Philsner Pilsner, Highfalutin English Special Bitter, Yonder West Coast IPA, Stones Throw East Coast IPA, and Pippa Porter.

11/13/24 - Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including: farm insurance and how those affected by the recent hurricanes are receiving assistance, a poultry farmer with 62,000 birds without feed, service members transitioning from military service to civilian life and how farming and ag helps, a grocery store merger, and what the election means for farmers. Then, Doug introduces us to Hannah Wuesthoff (WuesthoffFarm on Instagram)=, a hobby farmer in Middle Tennessee. She and her family started at the beginning of the pandemic with chickens while living in Nashville, and it spiraled from there. She and her husband, Dave, left the city to fulfill her dream of having their own land and being as self-sustainable as possible. She lives on her small farm with her husband and two children. They have laying hens, a pig, goats, and bee hives (which she recently caught 2 swarms). They have raised turkeys and a steer before, and will be onboarding a horse November 26th. They also compost all the manure, use cover crops, and do soil tests so they can make sure they are improving the soil and being environmentally friendly. Lastly, Doug opines the importance of corn crops. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Today I am excited to have Brandon Sheard from The Farmstead Meatsmith website and farm community.  I have been a member of their online program for several years and have learned so much about growing animals responsibly, butchering, curing, smoking and preserving. They have been an inspiration to my wife and I both in faith and in what it takes to build a responsible faith-centric farmstead.   Today Brandon and I cover a wide range of topics that have a consistent thread through them on faith and of course farming and how they intersect in our lives.   For full show notes please visit https://www.lakejoyfarmstead.com/podcast-meatsmith SHOW NOTES I would like for to share your individual faith journey and how it has intersected with farming (or completed) When someone tells you that consuming beef is bad for the environment, what is your reaction and how would you respond?
