OUR YOUTUBE VLOG SERIES
In 2022, we will be launching our own Youtube Vlog Series focused on the journey we're taking to scale from a Permaculture Homestead to a full Market Garden Farm. In the series, Melinda Stahl will take her 20 years of Permaculture Homesteading knowledge, insatiable science geek appetite for learning about everything related to animals, plants and the land and her "Quirky Girl Farmer" attitude and humor and share with the world our growth-hacking journey along with some instructional vlogs that will help teach practical homesteading skills mixed in with the occasional spotlight on ensuring proper mental health self-care when isolated on the homestead.
