Start a Farm: Can Raw Cream Save the World? with Blair Prenoveau

Blair is a farmer, a mother, a homeschooler, a milkmaid, a renegade. On this episode, I sit down with Blair Prenoveau who you might know as @startafarm on Instagram. In this episode, she unpacks why you might start a farm including the deep purpose, nutrition, and connection it offers. She doesn’t, however, shy away from the hardships and together we deep dive into the financial hardship that is owning a very small farm. We also talk about intimacy with your food and connecting to death. She shares about her journey raising 4 homeschooled kids largely solo and what it has meant to be a single mother farming. The positive feedback loop on eating nourishing food is an important topic, and we posit why it may just be the most important step in getting people to start more farms. We Also Talk About: Mending Milking& so much more Find Blair:Instagram: @startafarm Timestamps:00:00:00: Kate on a note of hope 00:05:23: Nervous Systems00:08:33: What Good Shall I Do Conference 00:10:15: Our own labor counts when raising our food 00:13:22: Blair’s background00:22:43: Start a farm 00:44:15: Connecting deeply to our animals 01:03:29: Bucking the system 01:18:00: Farming and parenting01:28:00: Farming finances 01:45:40: Raw cream saves the world Mentioned in IntroIrene Lyon’s SmartBody SmartMind CourseWhat Good Shall I Do ConferenceCurrent Discounts for MBS listeners:15% off Farm True ghee and body care products using code: KATEKAV1520% off Home of Wool using code KATEKAVANAUGH for 10% off15% off Bon Charge blue light blocking gear using code: MINDBODYSOIL15Join the Ground Work Collective:Find a Farm: nearhome.groundworkcollective.comFind Kate: @kate_kavanaughMore: groundworkcollective.comPodcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: groundworkcollective.com/disclaimer
