SHOW NOTES
The basics of raising goats is our topic this week as join Nicole and Deborah Niemann of Thrifty Homesteader.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- Goats are browsers, not grazers, and what that means to your homestead.
- Why learning the basics of raising goats before you bring them home is essential to their health.
- Steps to complete before you get goats.
- What to look and tests that need to be performed on goats before you purchase.
- The basics of raising goats will differ depending on your individual circumstances.
- Why the vet you use for your pet cat or dog is not the best choice for your goats.
OUR GUEST
Deborah and her family moved to the country in 2002 to start growing their own food organically.
They have raised cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry, plus llamas, but ultimately have settled on sheep, goats and poultry as their livestock of choice! The family also have a garden and make their own maple syrup.
Raising goats did not come easy to Deborah. In fact, she found it was the hardest animal she has ever tried to raise. In the early years, her goats dying and nobody could really tell her why, but rather than give up, she set herself the task of figuring out what was wrong and learned more than just the basics of raising goats but enough to write three books! Two editions of Raising Goats Naturally, which are 300+ pages, and Goats Giving Birth – see resources below for a link to purchase.
Deborah doesn’t simply tell people to do what works for her goat herd because every farm is different, and every goat herd is different. What worked on Farm X may literally kill another farm’s goats. She tells people that there is no one-size-fits-all recommendation for raising goats. The answer is almost always “it depends.”
She firmly believes in understanding the “Why” behind information given to goat owners and she explains the science behind various recommendations. This then enables people to understand why they see so many conflicting opinions and can then apply only what will work best for their herd’s specific needs.

They contain up to 28 grams of protein per cup and varieties are chosen based on flavor and nutritional benefits. Lion’s Mane tastes like buttered lobster, Blue Oysters and Black Pearl Trumpets have an amazing umami/bacon-like flavor, and both Trumpet varieties have a meaty texture that makes them an awesome source for hundreds of alternative vegan dishes.
Megan’s Mushrooms grow kits are an easy and fun activity for all ages and provide education on growing mushrooms and a motivating appreciation toward food independence.

Join Nicole and Brad Lancaster as they discuss harvesting rainwater.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- How harvesting rainwater is done.
- Is harvested rainwater safe to drink?
- Ways to use collected rainwater.
- How one farmer made a thriving oasis in Africa from rainwater collection!
OUR GUEST
Brad Lancaster is a dynamic teacher, consultant, and designer of regenerative systems that sustainably enhance local resources and our global potential. He is the author of the award-winning, best-selling book series Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond; the website www.HarvestingRainwater.com; and its ‘Drops in a Bucket’ Blog.
Brad lives his talk on an oasis-like demonstration site he created and continually improves with his brother’s family and neighbors in downtown Tucson, Arizona. On this eighth of an acre and surrounding public right-of-way, they harvest 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year where just 11 inches per year fall from the sky. But it doesn’t end there. The potential of that water is then integrated with the simultaneous harvest of sun, wind, shade, and fertility. Brad is motivated in his work by the tens of thousands of people he has helped inspire to do likewise, go further, and continue our collective evolution.

OUR GUEST
In this episode, Nicole talks to Stu Anderson, co-inventor of the Flow Hive.
A long-time tinkerer, Stu has built several houses over the years (including the one in which Cedar was raised, and where Stu still lives with his partner, Michele) and co-designed and built an off-grid solar and water-powered electricity supply to serve a dozen homes on the cooperative.
He’s also a life-long beekeeper and before the Andersons’ incredible invention became all-consuming, was the manager of a not-for-profit community organisation based in Lismore, NSW. As well as having a hand in the daily decision-making at Flow, Stu is the man on the mic, talking Flow Hive at numerous business and beekeeping conferences and other events, in Australia and abroad.
Stu is still an avid beekeeper with a passion for the natural world and a family man with four kids and nine grandchildren. Stu alos plays mandolin in a bush band.
WHAT IS A FLOW HIVE?
An invention that has revolutionized the beekeeping industry – the Flow Hive contains Flow Frames, a world-first technology which allows the beekeeper to harvest honey straight from the hive without disturbing the bees.
Regarded as the most significant advancement in beekeeping since 1852, the Flow Hive has removed the need for expensive processing equipment making the fascinating world of beekeeping much more accessible.
Beekeeping has been in the Anderson family for three generations. A love for the bees and the natural world has always been an important part of the lives of the father-son inventing team behind the idea, Stuart and Cedar Anderson. It all started because Cedar felt bad about bees being crushed during the honey harvest. He was sick of being stung and having to spend a whole week harvesting the honey from his small, semi-commercial apiary.

First Saturday Lime is different. Some lime (hydrated lime, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide) can burn skin, and other lime (dolomitic, straight out of the quarry) isn’t very strong. First Saturday Lime came up with a formulated version of hydrated lime, which is just as strong as other types of lime, but safer. It lacks the caustic nature of hydrated lime, while also containing virtually no silica as in dolomitic lime. It is safe for all animals, including cats, and safe to handle with bare skin.

Michael has presented his work at Harvard University, at New York University, consulted in the Dominican Republic for the USDA and developed the organization Gaia Bees to advance biodynamic practices in apiculture. In 2007 he co-founded one of the first honeybee refuges in the US.
In 2017 he founded Apis Arborea (www.apisarborea.com) to preserve the life and resiliency of honeybees through rewilding, that is, the restoration of habitat and natural hives, and the use of a holistic ecological and science-based framework in working with bees. He offers workshops and training in apiculture practice in the U.S. and internationally (Hungary, Denmark, Netherlands).
Michael’s pioneering approach to apiculture as a platform for global renewal has appeared in national and international magazines, books and films (Queen of the Sun). Most recent publications are in the Atlas Obscura Magazine (June 2019), and a report by Reuters News US.

Beau is a pioneer olive grower in Oregon, and a producer of premium extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). La Creole Orchards is a ten-year operation in the hills of the Willamette Valley in Oregon, currently producing small amounts of EVOO (2019 vintage forecasted to come in at about 30 gallons of EVOO, or about 50 cases/600 bottles of 200ml).
Premium EVOO is pure, super-fresh fruit juice: olives are pressed within hours of being picked (less than 24 hours), pressed without addition of heat or anything else, and our EVOO is unfiltered: some of the vintage is bottled right away (on pressing day), for a hazy appearance, while most of the vintage is allowed to gravity-filter in stainless steel containers, to become clear without filtering). Yum!

Hello wonderful listeners! I am so sorry for the delay in posting new episodes the last few weeks. After an 8+ career at the fire department, I recently separated on a medical retirement following an on the job injury.
I had a good routine before- I would edit podcasts between calls while on shift.
The transition to my new life outside of the fire department has been a little fumbly, and part of that is trying to balance family time and editing podcasts at home. Being a one woman production team can be a little overwhelming!
I a working on a new routine to get the awesome episodes I have lined up edited and posted every Monday again.
I am SO SORRY for the delay. Please bear with me- I promise the upcoming episodes will be worth the wait. Thank you for being a loyal listener!
