Welcome to the Old Fashioned On Purpose Podcast.

Lately I have been watching with interest and probably also a little bit of alarm

as you probably have yourself at the disruption of so many industries. At the time of this

recording we are knee-deep in the quarantine shutdown situation and we're seeing

reports all the time of supply change shortages and not enough

meat in the stores or not being able to buy flour or yeast or then on the other hand we see reports of farmers dumping

milk or crunching eggs or having to euthanize the pigs and the chickens and it's just

such a bizarre time to be alive, but all of this upheaval has really compelled me to make some big changes.

And in this episode I just kind of want to talk through some of those things.

Believe it or not, when I record on this podcast, sometimes I have everything wrapped up in a nice shiny package for you.

Sometimes though, it just helps me to digest and sort out some of my thoughts.

So you get to be a front row spectator in that process today.

Hopefully it makes sense, but I think that it will give you some food for thought.

In fact, I know it will.

And even if you're listening to this episode,

farther down the road when the quarantine is over,

hopefully it'll be over someday, we don't know, but it will still be

applicable then, I guarantee. So I'm your host Jill Winger and this is the podcast for the trailblazers.

The Mavericks, the Mavrocks, the M makers, the homesteaders, the modern pioneers, and the backyard farmers.

If you're ready to boost your food security and increase yourself's efficiency, well, you have found your tribe. This episode is brought to you by

Lehman's Hardware, my number one all-time favorite store for all things homesteading and old-fashioned living. More than ever, I want to be supporting small businesses right now and laymen's is a shining example of that.

Not only do they carry everything from gardening supplies
