00:00 You're listening to A Tiny Homestead, the podcast comprised entirely of conversations with homesteaders, cottage food producers, and crafters and topics adjacent. I'm your host, Mary Lewis.  A Tiny Homestead podcast is sponsored by Homegrown Collective, a free to use farm to table platform, emphasizing local connections with ability to sell online, buy, sell, trade in local garden groups and help us grow a new food system.  You can find them at homegrowncollective.org. Today I'm talking with Lindsay and Kaleb at Homestead.

00:29 Homestead hobbyists. There we go.  Good afternoon, you guys. are you? Doing well. Good afternoon. Thanks for having us on.  Yeah, you're kind of saving my bacon. It's been, it's been rough getting  guests  to commit because it's a really rough time of year for people who are,  I don't know, birthing animal babies or trying to get their gardens in or their crops in. So  I appreciate you making the time. Yeah. It's like it's busy season all of a sudden.

00:58 Yeah, I went through this back in November, trying to schedule interviews around Christmas time because everybody was busy with Christmas plans.  And we're not big holiday celebrators here. We just aren't. We're not Jehovah's Witnesses or anything, but we just don't make a big deal of it. And I always forget that other people do.  And  I was like, huh,  I might be entirely screwed on my podcast or two weeks straight at Christmas time. This is great.

01:28 Well, if you ever need us to jump on as backup  conversationalists, you let us know.  will. I will put you on in my stable of,  of they'll talk to me, I think, hopefully. All right. You guys are in Ohio. We're in Ohio.  We  are  more on like the middle Western side of Ohio. We're in a really, um,

01:52 not super small town, but we are surrounded by a lot of really small towns. There's probably only 20,000 people here and we're about 45 minutes north of Dayton. If folks know where that is.  I know where that is because I drive through Ohio about once every five years from Minnesota to Maine to see my parents. So  I know I have an idea of where Dayton is.  my great aunt  and uncle lived in

02:21 Oh my God, I can't think of the town, but right near Indianapolis, Indiana and my grandparents on my mom's side live in Oakwood, Illinois, which is not far from Chicago. I think it's an hour south of Chicago. So I'm familiar with the route that I drive and all those towns are on little signs that say, if you want to go to Chicago, go that way. then it takes you two hours to get there.

02:47 Yep, exactly. I love road trips. I really, really do. I haven't done one in four years now and  I'm getting older.
