Or just buy me a coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/lewismaryes 00:00 You're listening to A Tiny Homestead, the podcast comprised entirely of conversations with homesteaders, cottage food producers, and crafters. I'm your host, Mary Lewis. Today I'm talking with Casey at Haggard Mountain Homestead. Good morning, Casey. How are you? Good morning. I'm great. How are you doing? I'm good. Where are you located? We are in Western Pennsylvania, a little bit outside of Pittsburgh, PA. Is it raining? Not today, but apparently it's supposed to, I think tomorrow. 00:30 Have you been going through what my parents have been going through in Maine where it's rained all every day for the last 10 years, it seems like? Basically, yeah. Every single weekend it's been raining. So a lot of our projects have gotten pushed back, for sure. But now we're having a heat wave, so opposite. Great. That helps a whole lot, doesn't it? Yeah, it's literally the exact opposite, though. We went from cold and rainy to now, I think it's supposed to be like 95, 96 today. Yeah. 00:59 talked to my dad the other day. Whoops, I talked to my dad the other day and he said, honey, he said, I swear, it feels like I have been trying to get my summer garden in since two summers ago for this year. I'm like, yeah, we went through this last year too. So, all right, so tell me about yourself and what you do at the Homestead. So how much of a backstory do you want here? Cause I can talk, trust me. 01:26 Tell me what led you to having the homestead. All right. So my husband and I got married in 2016 and started looking for a house. And we knew that we wanted a little bit of property. And at that point, I just wanted a garden, some chickens, all of that. And we ended up purchasing our property. have a little bit under two acres in 2018. 01:55 Got our chickens, got our garden in, and it's like we can't stop. It's honestly been addicting. We started with a garden and the chickens and we put in fruit trees. He's gotten into honeybees. Now we're doing flowers. We've done meat chickens and now I'm doing the social media stuff too. You are cementing my belief that once you get into this, the questions that come up are why not? 02:25 And what's the worst that could happen? And I'm very, very careful about the second question. I try not to say that outside where the universe can hear me. Oh yeah. If you put it out there, it might actually happen. Well, if I'm going to say it outside, I say what's the best that could happen instead of the worst? That's fair. I like that too. And that way the universe is like, what do I do with that? 02:51 hopefully give you the best that can happen because that's what we want to put out there, manifest it. Exactly. And that's what I'm kind of getting at is that if you try, the worst thing that happens is it doesn't go quite the way you wanted it to. But if you don't try, nothing happens. Yeah, that's very true. We actually, we have a five-year-old son now and teaching him to emotionally 03:18 regulate himself and trying to like give him these life lessons and how to cope with things. That's actually, he's, I'm a perfectionist and he's very much a perfectionist as well. And that's, I'm trying to tell him, I'm like, what happens if it, if you fail, you just learn a lesson and you move on. Yeah, I used to be a perfectionist and then I realized that it was stopping me. Like if I couldn't do it right the first time, I didn't want to do it at all. And 03:46 I finally just was like, okay, start something that you don't have to tell people about. Just try something and see if it fails. If it fails and you want to share about what you learned, cool. If you don't, no one has to know about it. Yeah, I like that too. I think I'm 34 now and honestly, through all of high school, was scared to try new things because I was so much of a perfectionist. And I think at this point in my life, 04:14 Not that I stopped caring, but I stopped caring what other people think. And now especially I make silly videos for the internet. Sometimes I act a fool and I just, don't care what they think. If they think I'm an idiot, so be it. There's a really good saying that what other people think is none of my or your business. What they think about me or you. And it's true. What other people think about me is not my business. It's in their head. Yeah, I like that. 04:42 So I try to hang on to that and I try to realize that if I screwed something up, other people probably have too. And if I keep trying and share it, people will learn from that. So I'm trying to be very positive about my failures. And when you're home studying, I feel like you kind of have to be, because there's a lot of ...
