• Meal Planning for a Year
    Dec 19 2025

    Since we have been on a years-long journey of producing our own food, we have learned how much intentionality is required to live this way. When you can't run to the grocery store every time you run out of an ingredient, you have to plan ahead. Listen in as we discuss how we approach planning for an entire year's worth of food consumption.

  • Living Disconnected from the World
    Oct 10 2025

    For us, living disconnected from the world is not about completely extracting ourselves from society but, rather, intentionally choosing how we interact with the world. We are diving into why and how we have chosen to step away from the fast-paced, self-centered, materialistic, drowning-in-debt, workaholic environment that is so prevalent in America today.
