Gw nostr! This year has been both challenging and filled with letting go to make space for things that enrich our lives. I've followed this new path as best I can, received some hard critical feedback, and seen a glimmer of progress lately. I love to be home in the Holler and to care for this homestead, but to enrich our lives, we must enrich the community around us. 2 weeks ago, I did a cheese making demo at Haven Village. Folks seemed to like the demo and I was once again reminded of how slowing down for a minute allows you to truly connect with nature. Even if is is the microscopic side of it. This was a chevre made from raw milk from milk from this farmstead. How cool is that? We will be doing a cheese class, finally, st the Holler Homestead this summer or fall as a result of this demo. Toolbox fallacy has kept me from doing so for years. I make darn good cheeses. I am by no means an expert. But know what? I know a TON about cheese and can teach folks who know a little less about how to start their own cheese journey. Time to get to it... #lftn #homesteading image
