    Ep# 40 - World Localisation Day with Anthea Power

    In this fun and enlightening episode, join Alysse and Jo as they chat with Anthea Power from Maplewood Permaculture about the inspiring World Localisation Day! Celebrated for the first time on June 21st, 2023, this day shines a light on the importance of building robust local systems that can withstand global disruptions like those highlighted by recent pandemics. Anthea shares her passion for rekindling community connections and fortifying local economies, crucial steps towards enhancing both ecological and social well-being.

    Anthea shares what localisation can look like: think shorter distances for your food to travel from farm to plate, supporting local artisans, and fostering a human-scale economy. It's all about empowering communities, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing our quality of life. Plus, hear about practical ways you and your neighbours can actively promote localisation—from attending produce swaps to supporting local businesses and even starting a garden, no matter the size!

    Whether you’re looking to host a local food feast, join a working bee, or just learn more about sustainable living, this episode is your gateway to making a meaningful impact. Don’t forget to register for World Localisation Day events and start making a difference in your community today!

    Ep #39 Homesteading Mini I Sourdough I Starter I leavened

    Ep #39 Homesteading Mini I Sourdough I Starter I leavened

    Sourdough's global journey has seen it become a beloved addition to diets and café menus worldwide, renowned for its delicious flavour and health benefits.

    We explore what makes sourdough unique—its natural leavening process using a fermented mixture of flour and water known as a 'starter'.

    This natural fermentation process, free from commercial yeast and additives, is what sets sourdough apart as a healthier alternative to supermarket bread.



    We also break down the basic ingredients required for making sourdough: high-protein bread flour, water, salt, and of course, the all-important sourdough starter.

    Maintaining a starter is akin to nurturing a living organism, filled with millions of wild yeast and bacteria that give sourdough its characteristic tang. We touch on the essential tips for caring for your starter, troubleshooting common issues, and the various factors that affect the success of your loaf, from humidity and temperature to the recipe and hydration levels.
