Today I am joined by Jack Spirko and John Willis for ou First Tuesday Coffee Chat at 9:30am CT. Ask us anything - world events, regenerative ag, building business -- or whatever strikes your fancy!

Squash piling up? This week at 2pm CT on Living Free in Tennessee, I walk through practical ways to use, preserve, and actually enjoy your summer squash — plus a big pantry reset.

I've got the feeling that, somebody's watching me...

Anyone want to come to a meetup potluck followed by a rabbit processing demo. (You can skip the second part if you're not interested in that) Today we are sipping coffee, and getting all cleaned up and set up for the event! I'll even have some garden veggies for sale. https://www.livingfreeintennessee.com/2025/06/02/rabbit-processing/ #lftn #homesteading #homesteadstr

Keeping the dogs cool on our daily walk...

Finally cowboy's together some frames for shade cloth over the raised beds yesterday in the crazy humid and hot weather. Today, I get to cut and hand the shade cloth throughout the day... One day at a time! #homesteading #lftn #grow

To everything, there is a season. Each year, I eagerly await the time when I can finally enjoy fresh tomatoes again. 🍅 You see, I used to think I didn't like tomatoes but that simply isn't true. I don't like mealy-assed, gross store tomatoes. Fresh ones kissed by the sun? Bring it. Today, the 23rd of June, is the 1st ripe tomato on my homestead. It is a striped snacking tomato that my friend David put in my aquaponics system about 8 years ago. I've saved seeds from the first ripe tomato ever since. And this year is the earliest ripe fruit ever. Which makes me wonder. What will next year's tomato crop look like? #lftn #homesteading #gardening

Starting last Friday, we kept encountering roadblocks to where we were going and what we were trying to do. Despite the roadblocks, we ended up where we were supposed go about 2 hours late Better late than never, or better never than late? We had a great time getting to know the folks ans visitors at Haven Village. I even got to show people how to make chevre. Things wrapped there by 2pm or so and we made is safely back to the Holler. I thought the roadblocks were behind us. But not so. At least this one was fun tp watch. #grownostr #homesteading #lftn

GM #COFFEECHAIN - Headed to SOE today for Amanda Willis's birthday party. But first, watching the morning fog melt off the trees a few hollers down the way. One of my favorite views.
