Biography
Beau Micah Davidson is a permaculturist and natural builder, lo-tech mycologist, herb farmer, acoustical and audio engineer, homesteader, tradesman, artist, husband, and dad. Prior to homesteading and permaculture, his experience included a successful career in the Nashville music industry, a painters and fine finishers apprenticeship in Melbourne, Australia, and an analog recording studio in the urban core of Kansas City.  This is where he met his wife, Kristen, and together, they fell in love with soil & microbes, started a family, and moved to Beau's 6-generation farm in South Central Kansas, where they now specialize in growing and wildcrafting culinary and medicinal herbs, mushrooms, and woodland goods.  Beau and Kristen serve on the Leadership Team for Estuaries, a ministry seeking to incite a cultural ecology that fosters spiritually holistic, emotionally healthy, and intellectually rich believers who are capable of engaging meaningfully with culture.  He holds a B.S. in Recording Industry Management: Production & Technology, with minors in Mass Communications and Film.

Long service life is one important part of sustainability, so you get points there.

I've never heard of a dough whisk before. How does it work? Do you have a brand you recommend?



My dough whisk was a gift, and I'm not sure what brand it is.  Most of them are pretty sturdy due to the size of the wire.

They work really well to incorporate the ingredients into dough without spillage, breaking up lumps really well.

Hi Joao.

I have not seen your post, but the Digital Market is strictly for listing items for sale via the Digital Market.  Since your post was about your website, that sounds like a good fit for the Blatant Advertising forum.

Folks get a little confused about this from time to time.  Think of the Digital Market like a store, not like classifieds.

I believe mine is Hubert brand, and is durable, easy to clean, stainless steel, and stiff enough to do a good job beating things. It's about 10 years old now. My mom's restaurant supply whisk is over 40 years old at this point and doesn't look visibly different.




I believe this is probably the path I will take.

Agreed.  I will keep my eyes out here, but I'm done buying junk.  Quality pieces are few and far between, unless you have one of those tried-and-true second hand places, which I currently lack.

Right now, the only pathway for this role is to get very involved with all things Permies. Ping me again when you have 500 apples.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

I was making pancakes for the fam on this yuletide morn, and the whisk that's been barely hanging on for about 7 years finally utterly bit the dust.

Time for a new whisk.

Parameters:
-all stainless (though I like pine whorls)
-durable
-flat or oblong


We have a dough whisk for bread. This one needs to whip cream, eggs, and batters.

Do you have a stainless whisk you love? Bonus points if it's more than ten years old and still on the market with the same manufacturing process.

More work up front, but a sustainable method is pumping with a dc solar pump to a cistern at higher elevation to provide your pressure.

Welcome to the weird club.  

Thanks for making permies so some of us can be weird together.

I also hope for optimization and diversification of the weird permie community path, with a decrease in personal independence focus unto an increase in success.
