Hi there - i hope everything is ok? Every time i look at your videos i forget that you are so far away -- your garden land look so much alike my Great grandfathers big garden nursery - except the "Spalier Obst" aka "trellis fruit trees" -- this is really "walking down the memory lane" for me Have a nice day!

It’s such a busy time on the homestead this time of the year Linda. I love that you do your own meat. We now live in such times that it makes me shake my head that you have to defend your food choices. What once was a necessity is now a rarity thanks to many things. I could go on, but I won’t lol. Have a wonderful day and enjoy that beautiful meat you’ve worked so hard for. xx Cathi xx 😘

I really had to think whether to include it in the video but I don’t think I should be self censoring because of a minority that think differently! The meat is delicious and very healthy for you! Hey watch the vitamin d video - I forgot to put in the description but will now!!

@@huttonsvalleypermaculture will do! It’s something I’m very interested in. Tim and I see an integrative Dr, and after 40 plus years, I had to start eating meat again or face a lifetime ahead of serious health complications and iron infusions on top of all my other problems, so it’s been a battle with me, but I too only eat very good quality and cared for meat. There’s a whole rabbit hole to go down with this topic lol, and now I’m more informed, I’m ok with eating good meat again. The vitamin D issue is real too. Thanks for sharing Linda💕 xx 😘

I agree that, if you are going to raise your own meat that you should take responsibility for harvesting it and for using as many o the parts as possible. Most of us are not used to eating the "odd bits" and it is a steep learning curve to find out ways to use them. Thanks for the book reference. I do not, at this time raise my own meat, but I would like to start cooking some of the more unusual parts. I actually feel that if we don't honor the animals we eat, that we shouldn't be eating meat.

Thanks Harriette! It is a steep learning curve but also a surprisingly delicious one! Some of the cuts need a bit of extra effort but certainly worth it 😊

I always smile when I see your notification 😊 good idea making another path to the barn and about the not so nice animal parts, my mum cooked up many meals from them . Won't eat them now but as kids we were grateful just to have a meal, long story.

Very interesting video. I grew up with my grandparents growing their own food including meat. I think we’ve all lost many of those skills over time so I appreciate relearning what I used to know as a child.

Yes!! I’ve had to relearn a whole new way of eating and how to grow to support that. Healthier and happier!

I appreciate you sharing more of that side of your homestead. I’ve often wondered how the animals get processed from paddock to freezer if one doesn’t do it all themselves. Nice for them to have their last day with you.
@huttonsvalleypermaculture Жыл бұрын
Thank you - I’m really pleased that they don’t get sent anywhere on a truck! The butchers that come out are really respectful of your animals and make sure it’s all as stress free as possible- good for them and me, but still a tough day to get through!

I might suggest delaying the mustard until after the garlic is well up and won't be shaded... Re cholesterol - we produce it ourselves, in addition to getting it from dietary sources. As with so many things, we need it in appropriate amounts.
@huttonsvalleypermaculture Жыл бұрын
Yes I definitely should have held off mustard planting until later!

Thanks Peter - re cholesterol - perhaps I should have said saturated fats are good for us which gives the body the materials it needs to make a good amount of cholesterol!

You might be ok with the leucaena… I started a few seedlings here in the U.K., I did keep them protected over winter and they looked a bit miserable like yours! But once spring finally kicked in they have put on some nice new growth and look happy. They might not have done too well in our -10 spell over winter but I’m hoping after a couple of years in pots they might just cope with it… I tried moringa as well, apparently they can die off above ground but if you mulch the “tuber” well they can live as an herbaceous perennial
@huttonsvalleypermaculture Жыл бұрын
Thanks good to know!! My seedlings should have been in the ground long ago which hadn’t helped them. We have fairly mild winters here so hopefully they’ll survive till the spring warmth gets them going! Miri ga - will have to think about that next!! Thanks for watching 😊
