Tomorrow Chris Whalen CPA will join me as the first guest for my show re-launch. You may have noticed fewer podcasts recently and that is because of several factors, not the least of which are two young kids and a growing farm. Life aside, I have also found myself in an "identity shift" as I continue on my journey from TV reporter to independent journalist to fired government free speech advocate...and now farmer. So, I am taking suggestions for names of the new show (The Farm Report maybe?) which will still include a guest but will focus on the intersection of my new adventures: food, health, farming and freedom. I will have weekly farm updates and news related items. Tomorrow, Chris and I will discuss how easily AI will replace your job and turn you into a farmer (LOL) - so please take the quiz he made. The link is below. Also please comment here with any food, health, & farming news you'd like us to discuss. Let's do this!

Owning livestock is like running a suicide prevention hotline. Almost every day, one of the animals is trying to bring itself to a slow and painful death, or sometimes a quick one. When I came out to put the chickens back in the coop one night recently, I saw that our rooster and a hen had gotten stuck in between the tarp and the coop. I have no idea how long they’d been there. What they were trying to do in privacy, I don’t even want to know. But they could have died from heat exhaustion in this weather.
This is why I avoid Chicken brain by taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. It’s a great food-based source of Omega 3s - and because it is fermented unlike most fish oils, it preserves nutritional value. Not to mention, the concentrated butter oil brings in necessary vitamin K to absorb the vitamin D and vitamin A in the cod liver oil.

If you live in our part of Florida, it is only a matter of time before you drive down the road and spot a gopher tortoise in your way. Will you drive past it, or pull over and move it to a safe location? This question can be a dilemma as touching a gopher tortoise is technically illegal, though I have read that if you are relocating it out of the road, this is allowed. In other circumstances, touching a gopher tortoise can bring a 5-year jail sentence and a $5000 fine.
I keep my gopher tortoise spotting eyes healthy with the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. It is packed with inflammation reducing omega-3s and vitamin A, which is extremely important for sight. The cod liver oil is fermented to maintain nutritional value compared to fish oils that undergo high heat processing. Get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at checkout. https://greenpasture.org/
We have only been trailering our horse ourselves for a few years, but typically Lynn is the one at the wheel. The kids had rodeo camp recently - to which they needed to bring Sassy - and Lynn had an unexpected meeting to attend. That left yours truly as the only option for a driver. I have been riding horses since I was 5 years old, but I have never driven a trailer of any kind. I got one quick 10 minute lesson around the neighborhood and then off we went. Thankfully the arena is only five minutes from our house and I was able to take back roads most of the way. Of course, as a 33-year old horse who has traveled to Seattle and back twice, Sassy is a dream horse for a newbie. We made it safely and I feel much more confident now.
I keep my driving eyes healthy with the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture. Vitamin A is great for low light vision and omega 3s are important for retinal health. Get yours at 10% off using “ALISON” as your promo code at check out....
