ONL059 Nature's Harmony Farm Tour

We’re very excited about our latest Podcast! Last fall, on our farm tour to Nature’s Harmony Farm with Tim and Liz Young, we were inspired to make the transition from suburb to country. Our new place, Broad River Pastures, is about 7 miles from Nature’s Harmony. We think you will be inspired as we were. You can listen to the Podcast on the link below.

We love learning new things. Our brains are about to burst with all of the new information from our growing library of books on farming topics. In addition, we attended farming conferences in January and February and have been busy informally interviewing local farmers. The frustrating part is putting that on hold while holding down our day jobs and packing up our things to sell or move so we can put our house on the market. We are ready to be “agripreneurs!”

We’re proud to be newly associated with the Real Food Media network. The network now includes 16 like-minded bloggers who promote real food, small farms, and green living. We’d like to join Wardeh Harmon’s lead by offering e-learning related to homesteading and other topics. Please call or write us with suggestions for courses you’d like us to produce.

Now, back to the Podcast. What you will hear is an interview with Liz’s father, Brian Smith, and his reaction his daughter’s lifestyle. This is followed by “in the field” recording of Tim Young’s narration of a tour of Nature’s Harmony recorded October 10, 2009. After that you’ll hear us read some of the letters we’ve received and some personal updates.

What we admire about Tim and Liz is the efforts they take to raise happy, healthy heritage animals in a natural outdoor environment that mimics nature. They use a multi-species model and build biodiversity on their land. As time goes by, the presence of the farm animals actually improves the land in their care. In addition to managing their farm, meat CSA, cheese-making operation and household, Tim and Liz are involved in education through their practical classes, farm tours, and their new Podcast.

We have a long list of pending interviews and book reviews to share with you, but need to be hold them on the back burner while we pack up our recording equipment. Thank you for your patience. We hope to reward you with even more excitement and quality programs in the future. In the meantime, you may want to listen to the Farmcast, also available on iTunes, produced by Tim and Liz Young.
