Summary

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode nineteen of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about growing our own food. So many of us want to fill our pantry with homegrown, home-preserved food, and there seems to be this pressure to do so, especially in this homesteading space. But is that always necessary? What about those items we can’t grow, or aren’t currently growing enough of for our family for a year?

Come join me as I discuss my opinions on growing your own food (it might surprise you!). For more information and any links mentioned, visit the blog post here.

0:40.7	the permits and planning department for the city that I lived in. And in this job, we had a lot of
0:45.8	downtime. I did lots of paperwork and busy work and all of that. But there were large periods of time
0:51.5	where you just didn't have much to do and I would go on and read different
0:55.9	blogs of people that I followed um Ashley English was a really big one and of course she's still

1:25.2	And at that point, this is kind of before YouTube took off,
