22 JUN 2023 · Hi friends!! I’m recording this intro on the summer solstice, looking out at the garden and just really loving life at the moment. This weather is absolutely amazing. We’ve gotten a TON of work done on the homestead recently and we’ll share about that in an upcoming episode. We’re also getting fun new summer herbal products listed in the Fox and Elder https://www.foxandelder.com/shop, including our https://www.foxandelder.com/product-page/pre-order-spring-equinox-herbal-box which we have just a couple of left. Today I have Natalie, the Alaska Redhead, joining us on the podcast. I found her through a mutual friend and immediately knew I had to have her on the show. I’m so glad to have been able to strike up a friendship with her and convince her to come on and share her experiences with you all. Alaska is one of those homesteading destinations that has become more and more popular in recent years, but there are some big challenges to consider if you’re thinking about moving there! Natalie and I dive into those and she shares some of her challenges in living off grid in Alaska. She has some great insights to share and I hope you enjoy our conversation! I hope everyone is doing well out there and that your seedlings are healthy and happy. Be good to each other! Until next time, keep your hands dirty and your heart open. ~*~*~*~ Find Natalie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alaska.redhead/ and https://www.instagram.com/nataliesoffgridkitchen/ Natalie's Alaskan Life https://nataliesalaskanlife.blogspot.com/ Natalie's crochet https://www.etsy.com/shop/pennylanecrochetco ~*~*~*~ Find Sara on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foxandelder/ Check out our farm's herbal products: https://www.foxandelder.com/shop Our newest seasoning blend: https://www.foxandelder.com/product-page/herbs-de-provence Â

1 JUN 2023 · Today is our 50th episode!! I have Mike on the podcast with me again and we're diving into all of the different parts of our off-grid infrastructure. We share what has worked, what hasn't, and things we wish we had known ahead of time. Some of the topics we cover include:
- road access to your land
- hauling water
- septic vs composting toilets
- generators
- camper batteries
- battery tenders
- solar power
- off-grid internet options
We hope this episode will be really helpful to you if you are considering homesteading at some point, or are already homesteading and looking to possibly change up some of the things you're doing! We are definitely not even close to being experts, but always happy to share whatever knowledge we can in the hopes it will save you from some of our own mistakes! ~*~*~*~ If you’d like to support the podcast, please spread the word about it by sharing it on your social media!
