Local Food 101: Chickens and Eggs | How can you know if a particular food source is a wise and healthy choice? You start by talking to the farmer who produces it, asking questions that pertain to the type of food you're buying. In this post, we'll discuss chickens and eggs (and other poultry as well). Use these questions when approaching your local farmer or source. | GNOWFGLINS.com

How To Homestead Without 100 Acres & A Cow | 'I really want to homestead, but we're waiting until we can afford to buy an acreage.' I hear that comment a lot, and here's my response: 'If you have a home, you have a homestead.' Today I will share ways you can start homesteading wherever you are, regardless of where you live or the resources you have (or don't have). | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Chocolate is one of my must-haves. Can I get an amen? However, after looking at the ingredients in a regular chocolate bar, I couldn't eat it without a major prickle in my conscience... | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Beyond the (Chicken) Egg | All eggs are not created equal. By now, it is well known in the real food community that pastured chicken eggs are more nutrient-dense and healthy than their conventional counterparts. And, if you're willing to stray further off the beaten track, chickens aren't the only birds that lay delicious and healthy eggs. Quail, duck, and goose eggs are all popular alternatives to the chicken, offering variety and different nutritional benefits. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Raw Cat Feeding (Plus Cat Food Recipe) | I don't believe in spending exorbitant amounts of money to keep an ailing animal alive, but I do believe in humane treatment and loving care as much as possible. When our cat Ezra’s kidneys were ailing, I researched good diets that could help her. Over the recent years I had not given much attention to the type of diet a cat should eat: rather than Friskies, a diet fitted to the feline nature. | GNOWFGLINS.com

We purchased our home thrilled with everything about it -- except the busy road on which it is situated. Instead of bemoaning our problem, we've been thinking of ways to turn the lemon of traffic into lemonade. ;) This is the story of how our family's entrepreneurial spirit is blooming.

Raw Milk Q&A | Switching to raw milk is a good starting place for many newly health-conscious families. I went to one raw milk-producing family farm, Fall Creek Farms in TN, to ask important questions: Is it safe? Is it from a good source? How long does it last? Why is it more expensive? and more! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Foraging for Morels (and preserving methods)| Although we may still see a frost or two, spring has finally sprung here in northern Idaho. Our most favorite thing to do this time of year is forage for morel mushrooms! I'm thrilled to share our morel excitement with you (and I hope it's contagious) plus give you ideas for eating and preserving morels. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Got Raw Milk? Questions to Ask Your Farmer | I love raw milk and I personally believe it's one of the most nourishing foods. But I'm aware not everyone shares my enthusiasm. Like most things, intentionality and being an informed consumer plays a key role. Raw milk, unlike many foods, is remarkably safe to consume due to its highly probiotic nature. But, if it's produced, stored, or transported in unsafe or unclean ways, it may become unsafe to ingest. Here are a few questions you should ask to help you choose your raw milk source. | GNOWFGLINS.com
