One thing I love about winter—the opportunity to really dive into the reading list. These are a few of the books I’ve read this year, am currently reading, and am planning to read over the next few cozy months. It’s a variety, from business to success to spirituality to enjoyable fiction. After many years of NOT reading (except my grad thesis research), I had gotten out of the habit. Thank you so much @jackcanfield_official for your #onedaytogreatness event. It jump started my life in ways I never thought possible.

Do you have a regular reading habit? Drop a 📚 in the chat and tell us your favorites! #choosingtofarm #foodfamilyandfarm

Been thinking a lot lately about the communities I

Been thinking a lot lately about the communities I belong to. Many years ago, I began to self-identify politically as a Communitarian (it's a thing). There's not really a party representing it, but being a Communitarian is like a big party. It means that you look to the people around you for your health and wellbeing, and you add to theirs. It means you care about what happens to them, and you think long and short term about the bigger picture of what we are all building together...from the very local to the much larger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started calling myself a Communitarian, I really had no clue what communities I would be part of. I thought it was my town. I didn't realize that it would be the animal partners I have, or the ecosystem that surrounds us. The soil biology communities or the broader agricultural community across the country. They are tiny and they are immense. Community is cool, and now that I've grown a bunch, I'm stepping in to my Community. All of them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sing me a yeah if you are a Community nerd too! :-)

Marc & Cheryl Cesario were my first podcast guests

Marc & Cheryl Cesario were my first podcast guests and have been good friends for a few years now. I'm so grateful that we've been able to learn together and share stories of crazy animals, weather, and "I'm being an idiot" moments. There's something really special when you can share what's really going on in your life with a fellow human going through the same things. Our full conversation will released in early January, 2022, but here's a quick snippet of a moment of realization they had.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Missive from Montana! Just before jumping on a plane, I had to say a few words about some amazing people I met out here, and the stories I hope to bring you all.

I love this crew. I love them like partners, not pets. Our farm is based on partnership with Nature, and the animals are our tools to achieve deeper soils and hold more water so we can be #protectingthewhiteriverwatershed. These tools of hooves, and manure, and teeth, and bodies. The animals are also friends who I know well—we see each other every day, after all—and I know when they are off, or sick, or sad. Being a livestock farmer is a great joy and a great responsibility together. I am truly grateful to have such an incredible set of coworkers and farm partners.

I started recording my own thoughts about farming, origin stories, self-identity, and purpose as I have been thinking about sharing other peoples’ stories. You know what I think? I think we need more farmers growing food and raising animals, and more people who understand and appreciate growing food and raising animals. More humans managing ecosystems well, more people who get that this is a dance, a balance, and a cycle…not just a prescription.

Can I get a 🙌🏼✋? How do you connect with your food ecosystem?

Creating and encouraging family is what we’re all about. Sometimes that’s hosting events for families to come enjoy that time together, sometimes it’s creating a home for our extended family of friends and neighbors. We want people to feel welcome and whole when they come to the farm. We want them to feel seen and loved. What better example than this family who came to create art with us this year?

Deep thoughts today while driving and thinking about the Choosing to Farm podcast coming January 1. Why do people share their experiences? What motivates them to tell their stories? I think it’s about being SEEN and truly HEARD, and I feel honored to be the mechanism for farmers to feel that! https://anchor.fm/choosingtofarm

Hi, I’m Jenn! Many of my IG friends are real-life friends, but as my feed grows and expands, it feels useful to introduce myself again. I’m a skipped-some-generations farmer (my great-grandparents were dairy farmers), I’ve been raising pigs since 2000 and sheep since 2009. I love to celebrate good food (especially meat and dairy), people gathering together, and ecological land steward ship so much that we made it our business tag line #foodfamilyandfarm. I love to meet new people and share the farm with them through on-farm yurt and camping stays and our community events. We used to be competitive barbecuers, and I love incorporating visual arts and music into our farm’s offerings!

I wanted to give a shout out to @michaeldmorrisartist for this beautiful addition to the yurt’s art collection. Not only does it glow with water and light, but the proceeds were donated toward relief for folks in Afghanistan. Connecting the World Through Food, Family and Farm, it’s so humbling and SO goes to the heart of why we’re here. ❤️🙌🏼🌱🐑🎨#foodfamilyandfarm #randolphvt #cathyheller

Yesterday was my first interview for the Choosing to Farm podcast. I was nervous (and not), because these were good friends who gifted their time, and also because it’s so important to me to do right by the farmers and ranchers I talk to. Unsurprisingly, they were amazing, the day was beautiful, the tech worked, the cows were in the background…and the hardest part is over! Here’s to the first of many more! 🎤🥂 Click the link in my bio to listen to the trailer! #choosingtofarmpodcast

I’m WAY overdue on this, but I want to give a shout out and thank you to my old old friend (not that SHE’s OLD, mind you!) @mdpdesigns, who so very kindly worked with my loose ideas to develop a signature art piece featured above the bed in the yurt. Back when we were in 7th/8th grade together, I dearly loved her handwriting and her impeccable sense of style and design. It’s been the most amazing journey for us both this year, as we’ve left our external jobs to begin creating the lives we want for ourselves. Maybe this beautiful piece is inspired by the view out the yurt window, but I’d like to think it’s also been inspired by growth and self-transformation. By the way, you should totally check out her work on Etsy! @ https://www.etsy.com/market/mdpdesigns ❤️ #howlingwolffarmstay #randolphvt #foodfamilyandfarm

In Since it’s International Farmer’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to announce my new podcast launching January 1, 2022! You love farmers, I love farmers, we all love farmer stories. This podcast will feature conversations with folks in the farming and ranching world who may not have grown up in a livestock family, but decided it’s the right life for them. Join us weekly, tell your friends! And if you are a first- or skipped-a-couple generations farmer who would like to share YOUR story, DM me! I’d love to listen. 🐂🐖🐑❤️🐓🎤 #choosingtofarm
