Today I am excited to have Brandon Sheard from The Farmstead Meatsmith website and farm community. I have been a member of their online program for several years and have learned so much about growing animals responsibly, butchering, curing, smoking and preserving. They have been an inspiration to my wife and I both in faith and in what it takes to build a responsible faith-centric farmstead. Today Brandon and I cover a wide range of topics that have a consistent thread through them on faith and of course farming and how they intersect in our lives.
