WHAT WE'RE READING.
//// Links we are loving this week ////
ONE: We always enjoy visiting Whole Larder Love....who recently announced that they will be holding workshops (awesome). We are in love with the "glamping" stables they constructed for attendees. Maybe we could build one of these in our barn for visitors?
THREE: We are obsessed with Jenna Rose - a couple out of California who have a small farm, run an artisan cheese business, and have a passion for handmade and sustainable textiles.FOUR: We have no idea what is actually going on on this blog - our Swedish is not so good - but the photos of farming life and snowy scenery are beautiful and inspiring.FIVE: PLEASE take some time and watch Allan Savory's TED talk above. It is truly fascinating, all about the desertification happening to two thirds of the earth and the ONLY way to stop it: management-intensive grazing (just like at Bugtussle). - Hannah & Jesse.

OUR NEW HERO.
Jesse and I had to miss the Tennessee Local Food Summit this weekend because my car decided it had lived a good, long life and is no longer with us. Great timing! We were super sad to miss the Summit, too, because our lovely Bugtussle papa Eric was giving a talk, along with a multitude of our farmer friends. One of these friends was Birke Baehr. Jesse met Birke last year during the Biodynamic Conference and he completely blew Jesse away...because he was TEN YEARS OLD. This short TED talk of Birke's is similar to the speech he gave in Nashville, and a wonderful reminder of why Jesse and I are embarking on this lifestyle. This is what it's all about, people!
I spy a future intern candidate.- Hannah.
