In this episode of A Tiny Homestead, Mary talks with Caitlin and Joe of Our Humble Homestead in Garland, Maine.

What began with a garden and a desire to provide healthier food for their family has grown into a working homestead with Jersey cows, chickens, turkeys, a farm stand, and a growing connection to their local community. Caitlin and Joe share how their homestead evolved from focusing on self-sufficiency to embracing the idea of community sufficiency.

They talk about raising and caring for animals, making their own milk, cheese and butter, the realities of processing livestock, and why respecting the animals that provide food is so important.

The conversation also takes a fun turn into Jersey cows, barn cats, kittens, and the personalities of the animals that become such an important part of farm life.

Most of all, this episode is about faith, food, community, stewardship, and the sometimes difficult realities of living a more connected life.
