Summary
7 years since their last podcast ,10 since the
chicken video and over a million views. Regular deletion of hate and death threats about that video, although she did get about 40 marriage proposals. Now known as the
chicken lady, she was an angry teenage vegan once, and mom still is vegan, but her goat cheese... her goats are happy. Conundrum.
Rented out house, while a roofed pizza
oven with sleeping space became her house. Income from rent covered
mortgage and expenses. Symbiotic relationship with property. Look like paupers, eat like kings.
Beautiful produce but still something missing until she tried some mineral rich seaweed. Cravings have gone since mineralising soil.
Polyculture wasn't
enough. uses cleaner cultivation now - more people and horses to help. Cultivate personal and community resilience. Husband with similar values - tremendously helpful. Too much work on a homestead for one person alone. Not really a solo venture.
Paul says it’s all about community resilience, but how do you navigate this? See potential in a new property. Rich history of 200 different people, each throwing their shoulder in for something mutually beneficial. Tribal territory. Once pasture.
Dairy farm. Cedar stumps, so once forest. Built for woman in wheelchair. Now has amazing abundance of edibles.
Land calls her 'take care of ME!' conversation with the landscape. Important for humans relate well to each other, and to the landscape.
Should not be unusual to live in a place you love. Should be the norm. Gets richer and richer every year, and having a blast. If she had to be there alone, it wouldn’t be so fulfilling. Sharing is what makes it worth it for her, 3/4 of the fun. Enjoys serving the people, including the humans. Grateful to have such a huge variety of species to eat.
