Runner's Story | I woke up on the big day -- the day devoted to butchering our first rooster, Runner -- to the sound of squawking guineas and roosters crowing. I had imagined this day over and over again in my thoughts but I didn't know how it would go. How would I feel? Would I be able to participate? | GNOWFGLINS.com

Loss on the Homestead | In a life of caring for and raising our animals, loss is unavoidable. We have experienced it. We must learn to live with and learn from it, but I admit, sometimes we struggle. Recently, we experienced a strong blow. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Yesterday's Food: A Conversation With My Grandma | My maternal grandmother is an active and healthy 91 year old. Her secret? Eating as naturally as possible. She attributes her longevity and good health to the natural, home-grown, and locally-sourced foods of her childhood. Recently I visited with her about her growing up years on a small farm in the 1920s. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Staying Fit on the Homestead | Eating healthfully is very important. However, there's another side of the coin: it's also very important to stay healthy through activity and fitness. We are aging and we need to keep up with our homestead's work load. Also, in the case of an emergency, we may need to fend for ourselves, confront challenging situations, and sustain a high level of endurance. Here's how my family and I stay fit on the homestead -- no gym required. | GNOWFGLINS.com
