Today is a show where you get to ask me questions and I will answer them. Find out where I get the closing songs for Monday’s show, why you should boil your pressure-canned foods before you eat them, how to integrate a new goat on the homestead and more.

We have talked about pantry management a ton this year, but I got a question asking for me to go over how I manage my pantry during the youtube livestream of the Winter is Coming show for 2020 so I thought I would share with yall what I do here, with the space and other boundaries I have at the Holler Homestead.

Last week, I was away for five days doing some very important family time. Next week, I will be gone again. So there have been other people handling the homestead — people well prepared to do everything here. Yet, no matter how well I prepare things always seem to get jiggy when I leave town.
