Today I'm talking with Anna at the House and Homestead. Good morning Anna, or afternoon Anna. It's one o'clock in the afternoon here. I screw up the intro all the time. Good afternoon Anna. How are you? I'm good. sorry Mary, where are you located? I'm in Minnesota. You're in Minnesota. Okay. So I'm a West on Vancouver Island. So it is actually morning here for me still. 00:57 Okay, well, it's one o'clock in the afternoon here, sort of. Fair enough. Yeah, Vancouver Island, right? Yeah, that's right. In Canada? Yes. Yes. I looked at your Facebook page this morning or your website or something and I saw Vancouver and I was like, I swear there's a Vancouver in Washington state, but I think she's in Canada. So now we know. Yes, yes, there is a Vancouver in Washington state as well, not too far from us as the crow flies, I guess, but we're out on the island now, which is... 01:26 Lovely. Yes. And would you believe that I scheduled two interviews on the same day for two women in Canada? I talked to somebody in Canada this morning as well. Oh, no way. Cool. I was like, wow, that was weird. Who knew? And Canada is a great place. have been to visit once. We took the Northern route from Illinois back to Maine. So drove up to Canada and then across and back down to the Maine because I grew up in Maine. 01:53 Oh, cool. You've probably seen more of Canada than I have then. I've been only to Quebec once and I've never even been to like Toronto or anywhere back east. I've traveled way more extensively in the US than I have across the rest of Canada because it's actually quite expensive to get back and forth across Canada using our airlines. Yeah, there's not a ton of competition here. So the prices tend to be high. I used to actually work as a travel agent funnily enough in another life and it was 02:20 often cheaper to, I kind of joked it was often cheaper to go to London, England than to London, Ontario. So, you know, if I was going to book a trip, I'm like, well, I may as well go somewhere, somewhere else, you know. Expand your horizons. Yeah. I think I was a teenager when we did that and I actually got wet from the Niagara Falls spray. we stopped in Niagara Falls too. Yeah, it was pretty neat. Okay. So tell me about yourself and the house in Homestead, please. Well, I 02:51 grew up with zero homesteading background. I did a little bit of gardening when I was a kid. remember with my grandpa, that was about as close as I ever got to growing food or anything. I remember he had a little backyard garden in the city where we live. I grew up in Vancouver in the city or in a suburb of Vancouver. And yeah, when I was a kid, I remember my grandpa had a little garden in the backyard and he would grow 03:15 beans and peas and tomatoes and a few things like that. And that was always a novelty to get them fresh from my grandpa's garden in the summer. And then I would help them out there. But other than that, I really had no experience growing food or doing any type of like food preservation or even like cooking. didn't like get into cooking for myself until I moved out in my twenties and, kind of had to figure some of that out. So I, you know, didn't come from any type of 03:44 home setting background. in about my mid twenties, my husband and I, we were engaged at that point, but we were kind of trying to determine what our future would be and where are going to stay in the city? Where are we going to look elsewhere? And I was just feeling very disenchanted with city life. was like that typical kind of stuck caught in the rat race and like, is this how it's going to be forever? And I was struggling with anxiety and depression and mental health issues at that time. 04:12 I'd always noticed that like when we got out into nature and just kind of got away from the traffic noises in the city and the hustle and bustle, I just felt at ease. I felt calm. And I wanted to, I knew at that point I wanted to get out of the city, but I didn't know what that looked like. And around the same time,...

Today I'm talking with Jessie at the Homestead Farm. I love the name of your place, Jessie. Good afternoon. How are you? I am great. How are you doing? And thank you by the way. Oh, you're welcome. I'm great. It's a beautiful day in Minnesota. You're in Washington state and you said it's raining. It's actually dry right now, but it's very wet outside. The mud goes up to your knees down in the cow pasture. 00:54 Gross. That's no fun. We're excited for a sun tomorrow. 74 it says. We'll see what happens. Well, maybe you'll get a couple of days and we'll dry it out some. It'd be nice. It'd be nice. And then we've got thunderstorms and rain coming up after that. But hey, spring is here, but summer, guess, is slowly approaching. So we'll have dry soon. Yeah. Let's not wish spring away because here in Minnesota, winters are long and cold. Yes. Yes, absolutely. 01:23 We have to eke out every piece of beauty and an amazingness from the point that spring hits until winter arrives. Okay. Nice to see all the green things popping up everywhere. I love that part of spring. The baby's being born on the farm and everything else. It's awesome seeing all the new life. Yeah. If I, if I actually lived on an actual farm, I would never be inside. Yeah. Ever. So. 01:53 All right, so tell me about yourself and the Homestead Farm. So I am Jessie. Hello everybody. And I started the actual business, the Homestead Farm, just over three years ago. I bought this place nine or 10 years ago with a dream of having a hobby farm and living off the land. It's only nine acres here, but we are using every square inch of it. 02:19 So yeah, I moved in nine years ago, 10 years ago, and I owned a cleaning business. I went to college before that for graphic design and just it wasn't my thing sitting at a computer. I worked my butt off and met an amazing man who made help to make all this possible. And I actually am now a stay at home farm girl, which has really been my dream for a long, time. 02:45 So yeah, we've got cows, goats, chickens, turkeys, some guinea hens, and a bunch of dogs. How many dogs? Right now we have nine, but five of those are puppies that are going to their new homes very soon. We've got some great Pyrenees puppies that are just awesome and they're in training right now to be livestock guardian dogs. Well, if anybody's in Washington state and looking for a great Pyrenees puppy, you know who to contact now. 03:13 Yes, I love it. We've got three three left available. So, okay good Yeah, only have one dog. I talk it talk about her all the time I probably should not even bring her up, but I'm going to anyway Her her name is Maggie and she is a mini Australian Shepherd and she is the love of my life Even though I have four adult grown children. I Love dogs. I think they're just the best thing on this planet. So I have I had kids though. So there's that 03:43 Yeah, our oldest son came to visit just like a week or so after we got Maggie, so she must have been nine or 10 weeks old. And I have never had a puppy. I was as anxious about a puppy as I was about my newborn babies. And he was like, she's a dog. I'm like, no, she's the baby. 04:08 And he was like, oh god, you're going to be so in love. I said, I'm already so in love. I can't stand it. This is making me insane. He said, this is why we never got a dog when we were kids, because you wouldn't have been able to raise us. You've been too busy raising the dog. I sense a bit of jealousy there. He's giving me hard time, because I don't think he remembers seeing me that in love with anything. And his youngest brother is, I think. 04:38 10 years younger than him. So he sort of remembers when we brought the youngest home. But it's a whole different kind of love, you know? You don't hold a baby and pet it and kiss its nose and tell it it's a good girl. You know, it's a whole different thing. So anyway, that's my thing about Maggie today. Maggie was not feeling well last night, so I've been a little concerned about her ...

Today I'm talking with Hayden from Homegrown Collective for the third time. Hi Hayden, how are you? Great Mary, I hope you are. I'm good. It's a really beautiful day here in Minnesota. The sun is shining and it's cold. It's like, I don't think it's above freezing yet. Oh man, I got nice 67 degree weather down here in North Carolina. Well, yeah, because you're in the south and I'm in the north. So go fig. 00:58 Spring so far has been pretty good, so we're really looking forward to the temperatures keeping climbing here. it really is. I'm ready. I'm ready for it to be May 15th so we can start planting plants. Okay, so just to catch people up, Hayden and I have talked a couple times already. Hayden has the most wonderful directory for people who want to get found if they sell stuff. And by stuff I mean produce or... 01:28 Homegrown meats or I don't know what else but Hayden's gonna tell you so Hayden. Tell me more. Tell me where you're at. What's going on? So we created a it's it's it's a what a directory an online store and it's a hub with tools for producers and consumers to organize a local Supported food system in their communities so you can create educational groups. You can create barter groups you can 01:58 share which which farmers markets you're going to be at if you want to if you don't want to sell online and you want to keep everything local. The point of the online market is to give those smaller producers access to that revenue. And you're still supporting you know, local and when I say a local food producer, mean somebody who grows their own food, and most of it goes back to a 50 mile radius of consumers. 02:26 is what I consider a local food producer. people ask, where are you located? And it's not about where our company is located. It's about where they're located and who they can find that has the same mindset. So our Homegrown Collective isn't just a collective of people selling food. It's a collective mindset of people who want a different food system in America. And it gives you the tools to help organize that. 02:54 all in one place and you're able to support and organize local food production and offerings with restaurants, household consumers, backyard gardeners, to small family farms. And it brings everybody with that same goal in mind for our food system together in one place. You could compare it to like a Facebook with a good cause and our 03:23 Our thought was with the revenue that social media brings in, you could really make some real change in a country with that kind of revenue. And if we can do it under a nonprofit business model and get that money back directly to the responsible food producers and grow new operations of food production, then by directly funding those efforts, I think we can change the food system in our country. Probably communities out of time, but it can be done. 03:54 Very nice. And I'm really excited to hear that the Homegrown Collective model has grown since we last talked. Yeah, absolutely. I thought it was just going to be a directory, but it sounds like it's much more than that this time. So that's great. Before we continue, it's national, right? It's not just... Yeah, international. You can access it anywhere in the United States. We can't operate outside of the United States based on our... 04:23 a nonprofit status, you can't take in funds and direct them outside of the country, which I totally understand and wouldn't want to do anyways. we are steadily growing and I know it'll be a long, with all the information being pushed out onto people, it's kind of hard to get it out there. So we really appreciate everything you do for us, Mary. 04:50 Well, I am a huge proponent for what you're doing because I have been saying on every episode for the last two weeks, I think if you live in America right now, find your local growers because it's really important. It's always been important, but it's even more important now. I agree. I agree. And we are, our board members are ...
