Or just buy me a coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/lewismaryes 00:00 You're listening to A Tiny Homestead, the podcast comprised entirely of conversations with homesteaders, cottage food producers, and crafters. I'm your host, Mary Lewis. A Tiny Homestead is sponsored by the Homegrown Collective, the best option for organizing a responsible and regional food system for America. You can find them at homegrowncollective.org. Today I'm talking with Katie at Sunset Creek Farm LLC. Good, well, I guess it's evening, Katie. How are you? I'm good. How are you? 00:27 I am good. I usually record in the morning and so I'm always saying good morning and when I do them in the evening, I'm like, ah, it's not morning anymore. Yes, it is a dreary afternoon here for sure. Yeah. And you're in Georgia, right? Yes, in Trine, Georgia. Yeah. It's not dreary here cause it's not raining, but it's been gray all day. Yes. And I'm in Minnesota if you didn't know. So. Yes. Okay. So tell me all about yourself. 00:57 and Sunset Creek Farm. Okay, so like I said, we're located in Trine, Georgia. We have been here about six years. So my family actually owns part of the land and then we took a little bit of it and then we had actually built a barn so that way we could get married in it. So it all started from there. 01:22 And so then last year, and we've always had, I rodeoed my whole life. And so I had, I've had horses and cows my whole life. But then whenever me and Caleb got married, then of course we had planned to build here and everything. And then last year we ended up getting Kiko goats. So that was really kind of how we got started. 01:47 in having our own little farm. It had always been a dream of ours to have our own farm. And luckily we had the acreage. And so then from there, of course, the goat supply just kept coming. So we ended up, we have about 13 nanny goats. And so, and we've got a couple of billies that we're keeping separate. That way we can keep the. 02:16 the lines going and then in December, I decided that I needed a milk cow. So I do a lot of research before I do anything. Me and my husband are both that way. And so I got to look in and you know, we didn't need a full size cow because we didn't need that much milk just for our family. 02:40 And so I ended up doing a lot of research and discovered that the mini jersey was probably our best option. So we get anywhere from one to two gallons of milk a day, just depending on how much I'm milker. So I do have a full-time job. So this is our hobby on the side. And so luckily we do have a bottle cap. 03:06 that he helps me milk her during the week and then I milk on the weekends so that way we have enough milk to get us through the week and I like to you know make the different cheeses and I've made feta and mozzarella. I haven't tried hard cheeses yet. I'm a little intimidated but I'm trying to build myself up to there but then we like to do butter and yogurt and you know different things that I can make with the milk. 03:34 And so, so that's one thing that, you know, the mini Jersey, we have loved having her. And so in the, the buttermilk or the, excuse me, the milk is very rich and has a lot of butterfat. And so that lets us that I don't have to have as much milk or cream as I need to make the butter. So that makes it, it makes it easier for me to be able to produce butter when I want to. 04:04 That's really enjoyed it. Yes, yes. you know, really, it's been nice to be able... So the main reason that we started... So I had breast cancer in 2023. So that made me start looking at what chemicals that are in our food, what chemicals are in the shampoo, the conditioner. 04:30 the body washes, the even, you know, the different laundry detergents that you have, all the chemicals that are unnecessary to have and to put on your body. And so that was whenever we really started looking at what is the best way to be able to grow our own food and to be able, you know, to have our own milk and, and take those chemicals that we can. Of course there's chemicals around us all the time, but to 05:00 but to take what I could out of our lives for what I could. Yeah, because your skin is your biggest organ. Not everyone knows that, but your skin is exposed to everything. whatever you can do to cut back on what you're putting on your skin that's going to get absorbed that's bad for you is a grand and glorious thing. Yes. And that was one thing that got me started in the soap. 05:28 making was because you know, I only have you know, five different ingredients in my soap. And if you look on the back of a body wash, I mean, there's all these ingredients, I can't pronounce. ...

Today I'm talking with Tim at I think it's Guldan Family Farm, but I could be pronouncing it wrong, and he's in Newall, Minnesota. Good afternoon, Tim. How are you? Good afternoon. It's pretty close. We say golden like the golden color, but you know what? We don't know for sure. So as long as it's close to the term, hey you, I answer to it. And it's too and well. 01:23 Yeah, you must be a dad. You must get hey you. I've been a hey you for a long time. Between there was a day at the farmers market a few years ago my wife was actually saying Tim, Tim and then it went to Mr. Golden, Mr. Golden because I was a teacher at the time and then finally she said hey you and I noticed and turned around and I said what do you need? It was a it's a joke that doesn't die anymore. 01:45 Oh, I know. mean, I've had four kids and if they can't get my attention, they're like, hey, and if that doesn't work, say, hey, you. And I turn around and like, why are you being rude? So yeah. I always ask about the weather at the beginning of the episodes, but I don't really need to ask because you're in New Ulm, which is not far from me. And Minnesota is having the first most glorious spring day we've had since last spring. 02:12 It is looking finally like it's here. We had a couple of tease days earlier on, but yeah, today I'm sitting at a beautiful 77 and sunny on a nice calm, maybe two mile an hour breeze day. So I have no complaints in my end. My husband's been outside almost all day and he just put out the open farm fresh eggs farm stand farm stand signs about half an hour ago. Oh, Yep. 02:38 We're very excited. This is the earliest we've had the farm stand open and we've had the farm stand for this is the third year. So this is great. We have we have bedding plants for sale this year. And this is probably the first year since we moved here four and a half years ago that we're going to have asparagus for sale before the farmers market opens. Very nice. Always a happy good day when you have asparagus. Oh my God. This is 03:07 This is the summer we have been waiting for. moved here in August of 2020. And with grand plans to have a farm to market garden and do all the things. And what we didn't take into account is that when you start from scratch, you have to build infrastructure. So that's what the last three years have been spent on. Yeah, there's that minor detail. So this is the summer that we have been. 03:33 working toward for three and a half years. We're so excited. Okay, so this podcast is not about me, but I just had to get that out or a joke on it. Tell me about yourself and what you guys do at your farm. Well, my name is Tim Golden and I'm, we, I am now the proud owner operator of Golden Family Farm. I'm actually the second generation running the vegetable version of this farm. Although the farm itself, excuse me, has been the family since the Homestead Act one way or another. 04:02 And so we're pushing close to 170 years in the family. And as it sits now, I'm operating 25 acres of fruits and vegetables. Very nice. Do you have the, I don't know what it's called. It's a thing they give you when you buy a home that lists the original plot and who signed the paperwork for it. Do you have that for your place? I have, I believe it's. 04:28 I don't know if you'd say it's original, if it's reproduction, but it is a certificate, you know, that has the ...

How are you? Hey, how are you today? I'm good. It's gray and cloudy and rainy here and I'm kind of in that very mellow, I could take a nap, but I can't take a nap space. 01:24 I gotcha. It's the opposite here. It's warm and sunny. We were supposed to have storms today, but it turned out to be a beautiful day so far. So I love you. I'm looking forward to the first really moderate, beautiful spring day. I can understand that. Yeah, we've just started getting there. Really, really nice winds here in Tennessee within the last couple of weeks. It's heating up quick. I'm like, okay, it's not summer yet. So what's going on? 01:51 Mother nature is absolutely insane and has been for about two and a half years now. That's what's going on. I'd have to agree. Okay. So you have a homestead, but you also have a rabbit tree. And usually I say, tell me about yourself and what you do, but I'm just going to dive in with my questions about rabbits because we tried a couple of years ago to raise rabbits for meat and we failed miserably. So. 02:20 If I tell you what we did, can you tell me maybe an idea of where we went wrong? Yeah, I can definitely pray to help. I do want to preface this by saying that I started our rabbitry with the intention of doing the meat rabbits. We started back in, you know, like COVID times. And that was the intention and do like chickens and rabbits for me because the world was shutting down. was like, want to become more self-sufficient just in case this happens. And I quickly realized 02:49 that I loved raising rabbits, but I was not one of the people that was going to be able to do it for me. Yeah. I, number one, I couldn't be part of the butchering. I flat out told my husband and my son, said, if we do this, I am, I am more than happy to help take care of them. I am more than happy to cook the meat once it's just meat. But I, but when you bring that rabbit to me, when it's dead, has to be footless, tailless. 03:18 headless, skinless, because I'm going to fall in love with these things and it's going to kill me. It's hard, you know? it's like if I was in a position to have to feed my family, I definitely, definitely would be able to do it, but I'm not there. And I find it fascinating for people that can do that. And I follow some pages, you know, and I've watched the process and everything, and it's not like I shy away from seeing it, but it's just not for me. And I use the rabbits, you know, 03:47 I use their manure for our gardens and I love them. They have a great life and I raise them for pets, but just the meat rabbit thing ended up not being my thing. Yeah. And like I am just terrible about killing animals. I, I will stomp on a bug faster than you can say my name, but if it's fuzzy, I can't do it. It doesn't matter what the reason is. I can't do it. 04:14 I can see that. what ended up happening with your rabbitry? Like where did you think you went wrong with it? Well, we thought we were being smart. We got, we got two does and a buck proven buck. One of the does was proven. One of them was a new doe and we bought them from people who were raising rabbits had had good luck with their rabbits and brought them home and put them in the right size touches and gave them rabbit food. I can't remember what it was now, but you know, 04:...
