In this episode of Handmade Happiness, we dive into the connection between the food we eat and the way it’s grown. I’ll share some of the ways we’ve been preserving apples from our homestead, our first experience smoking ducks, and a few reflections from the book What Your Food Ate. We’ll also talk about our long-term vision for building healthy soil on our five acres here in Missouri—and why the choices we make in our gardens and kitchens matter for both body and soul.
Join me for a conversation about nourishing food, thoughtful stewardship, and the everyday steps we can take toward a more intentional life.
