Call To Farms Tim Eng & Sophia Eng | Sprinkle With Soil

In this episode, Tim and Sophie sit down with Karson Rippstein, a passionate advocate for soil health and cattle farming from Redmond. Karson's journey is a testament to the transformative power of embracing sustainable practices. Raised in the world of conventional farming and initially selling commercial agriculture sprays, Karson's path took an inspiring turn when he made the shift to regenerative farming and joined the team at Redmond. Prepare to be captivated as Karson shares his story, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs that accompanied his transition from conventional to regenerative methods. His experiences offer a compelling example of how even those deeply rooted in conventional farming practices can embrace a more sustainable and holistic approach. In this discussion, we delve into the fascinating concept of leveraging federal and state lands as a small farmer. Karson reveals how this innovative approach can provide access to thousands of acres for cattle raising without the need for outright land ownership. This viable alternative opens up exciting possibilities for those aspiring to venture into regenerative agriculture, even with limited resources. Karson's insights and expertise will leave you inspired and equipped with practical knowledge to implement on your own homestead, farm, or kitchen. Tune in now to this great interview!

In this episode, Sophie interviews Mary Bryant Shrader, the best selling author of The Modern Pioneer Cookbook and has a YouTube channel, Mary's Nest where she teaches traditional cooking to over 1M subscribers. Mary was raised by parents who grew up in the Great Depression era and farmed with zero waste. She goes into detail about her food journey and how she returned to her roots which shares many similarities to Sophie's story in that they were both inspired by Sally Fallon Morell's book, Nourishing Traditions. A neat fact is that both Sophie and Mary share an affinity towards Vietnamese food and culture. Mary's passion towards helping others with grace exudes from this interview so you don't want to miss it!

In this bonus episode, Tim and Sophie announce that they are launching a Homesteading Conference in 2024 with Mike and Lacie Dickson, "The Fit Farmer" and Billy and Michelle Bond, "PermaPastures Farm." It is called the Homesteaders United Jamboree which will be held Aug 29-31 in Fletcher, NC. This conference will be centered on building community with great food, music, and company as we share our knowledge with one another. Tim and Sophie also provide a housing market update as they've helped a couple of their clients in the past week get under contract on homesteading properties. On the farm, Tim has been busy with adding more cross fencing to create more paddocks for their cattle and the both of them are raising their second batch of meat birds. Join Tim and Sophie on their impromptu episode.

This week on Call to Farms, Tim and Sophie are back with another exciting "kitchenside" update!

First up, a farm fresh update! We share our experience speaking at the Farm Where You Live conference in Asheville, NC. Hear about their talks on Building Community, Traditional Natural Farming, and the ever-important question: How to Find the Right Property to Homestead On. They also talk about getting their hands in soil with starting their 2024 garden.

Exciting news! Tim and Sophie are thrilled to announce they'll be bringing their expertise on finding the perfect homestead property to the Back to the Land Festival (October 18-20) and the Modern Homesteading Conference in 2025!

Speaking of finding the perfect property, the latest news from the field is HOT! The homesteading market is booming, reminiscent of the pre-2022 San Francisco Bay Area frenzy. Tim and Sophie remind us that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to homesteading. It's all about your goals and dreams.

They emphasize the importance of setting realistic expectations and going into this journey with eyes wide open. By understanding your goals and finances, and surrounding yourself with a supportive team, you can turn your homesteading dreams into reality.

Tune in for a fun and informative episode packed with insights for new and seasoned homesteaders alike!
