In her latest book, she shares delicious cocktail and mocktail recipes with us that feature beautiful herbs that we can cultivate in our gardens or find while out foraging. I hope you enjoy this episode! ~*~*~*~ Want to connect with Tenae? You can find her on Instagram, or visit her website to get signed copies of her books. Our farm shop is full of goodies for you!

    Alaskan Homesteading with Natalie, the Alaska Redhead

    Hi friends!! I’m recording this intro on the summer solstice, looking out at the garden and just really loving life at the moment. This weather is absolutely amazing. We’ve gotten a TON of work done on the homestead recently and we’ll share about that in an upcoming episode. We’re also getting fun new summer herbal products listed in the Fox and Elder shop, including our summer solstice boxes which we have just a couple of left. Today I have Natalie, the Alaska Redhead, joining us on the podcast. I found her through a mutual friend and immediately knew I had to have her on the show. I’m so glad to have been able to strike up a friendship with her and convince her to come on and share her experiences with you all. Alaska is one of those homesteading destinations that has become more and more popular in recent years, but there are some big challenges to consider if you’re thinking about moving there! Natalie and I dive into those and she shares some of her challenges in living off grid in Alaska. She has some great insights to share and I hope you enjoy our conversation! I hope everyone is doing well out there and that your seedlings are healthy and happy. Be good to each other! Until next time, keep your hands dirty and your heart open. ~*~*~*~ Find Natalie on Instagram: @alaska.redhead and @nataliesoffgridkitchen Natalie's Alaskan Life blog Natalie's crochet Etsy store ~*~*~*~ Find Sara on Instagram: @foxandelder Check out our farm's herbal products: Fox and Elder shop Our newest seasoning blend: Herbs de Provence
