Summary

I’m thrilled to be chatting with another good friend on today’s podcast episode, Kate of Venison for Dinner. You all likely know her from her homesteading, cheesemaking, homemaking content, and in this conversation, we are answering some of your most common questions about making dairy products at home. Plus, we pull back the curtain on both of our content creation businesses and offer encouragement for those balancing motherhood and business (or hoping to!). Whether or not you are interested in making cheese or starting a business, I know you will be encouraged by this conversation between two moms seeking to love and serve our families in every season of motherhood!

In this episode, we cover:

What sparked Kate’s passion for raising her own food
Trying new things without succumbing to fear of failure
Fitting cheesemaking into daily life as a busy mom
Troubleshooting a few cheesemaking scenarios
How you can redeem a cheesemaking “fail”
Creative ways to use up an abundance of milk
Is it cost effective to make cheese with store bought milk?
Thoughts on starting an online business as a young mother
The reality of the early days of getting a business off the ground
Weighing your limitations and capacity in various seasons of motherhood
How to get things done when you have small kids in the home

0:00.0	And once we had our oldest son, Mack, that really thrust forward our desires to
0:08.5	know where our food came from. And he turns 14 this year. And there are still things we are
0:15.0	learning about and growing. And because it's a never ending process, we are lifelong learners.
0:20.8	We always want to be learning and doing something new to stop learning to stop trying new things
0:27.7	is just a soul death that I have no desire to experience.
0:33.2	My name is Lisa, mother of seven, and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone.
0:38.7	Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch, cooking,
0:43.4	and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way.
0:52.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today, I am having on Kate from
0:56.4	Vinesen for dinner. She's been on this podcast before. She's also a real-life friend and I ask her

1:40.6	about how it's not for everyone. And that is something I definitely want to give you permission to,
1:47.6	you know, a lot of times it's just because we can, you know, we all have access to the internet.
1:53.4	It's like we think that we all should have a YouTube channel. We should all have a blog. And that is
1:58.3	just not the case. It is not for everyone. But anyways, we are going to be talking about that too,
2:02.4	just because if we were to go meet up for coffee, if she didn't live up in Canada, I'm sure that
2:09.0	is where the conversation would lead, mom life, business life, how that all works. So let's dive
