Special Feature Segments

Join Paul Dysinger as he interviews Justin and Rebekah about what it is like to grow through the winter on a homestead. Listen as we discuss the why’s behind growing your own food, why winter gardening is easier than summer gardening, and what Justin and Rebekah are planning to grow this winter - plus what it means to quit the grocery store and grow your own food!

Listen in as Edwin and Eliot talk about how Eliot got his farm and started farming on the coast of Maine, Zone 5. How winter weather has changed over the years in his location. How he got started growing through the winter, learning what to plant and when to plant. About his book, “The Winter Harvest Handbook”. How he developed several techniques and tools for the small grower. How far north his growing techniques can be applied. The value and need for simplicity. The one thing that is perhaps more important to protect from than cold. What he is doing for retirement and the new book he is working on, “The Self-Fed Farm”.
