The Aggressive Life with Brian TomeOn The Shoulders of Giants with Brian Wells—Film Producer, Author, FriendSir Isaac Newton once remarked that he’d only been able to see further than others because he’d “stood on the shoulders of giants.” For Brian, one of those giants is his friend, Brian Wells. Get to know Beem, as Brian calls him, and trace his aggressive story from selling his dead grandfather's belongings as a child, to building a church from the ground up, to producing TV films for NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and the Hallmark Channel.

A big part of the reason why I didn't try growing potatoes is because I thought you need a depth and a quality of soil that I don't have. Another part of the reason why I didn't grow potatoes is because I had only seen them grown in the very labor intensive "dig a ditch" and then "hill the crap" out of them before playing hide and go seek with the potatoes with a p...2022-06-1330 minThe Homestead JourneyS3E125 A Teenager's Perspective On Being Raised On A HomesteadOn today's episode I am joined once again by my son, Brian Jr. He shares his perspective of what growing up on a homestead has meant to him.

Over the next several weeks we'll talk about how life on the homestead leads to lessons in life, death and loss, responsibility, and value of hard work and food. And we'll end the series with an interview with my son, Brian Jr. However, to kick things off, we talk about the importance of involving your kids in things not on the homestead. My strong belief is that if you fail to do that, you could very well teach your kids lessons in resentment; resenting the home...2022-03-1426 minThe Homestead JourneyS1E108 Health Benefits of FermentationThis week I ran across this article that discusses the importance of fermentation to gut health (microbiome) and I found it very fascinating.

Would We Buy It Again?In February of 2019, approximately 4 months after we took delivery of our Kioti CK3510SE, I did a video about why we purchased that particular tractor.

Very frequently, I have been asked about providing an update to that video since we have had our tractor now for 3 years. But, before I do an update on that, I thought that perhaps an episode on some of the things a homesteader should consider when buying a tractor would be helpful And so, on this episode we talk about understanding what you need, what you want and what you can afford before buying a tractor.

It's All GoodSometimes we have a dream. It's something that you seemingly can't shake. It can start to consume you. You share it with other people. Instead of thinking you're crazy, they see the vision. And they buy into it. And it starts to consume them. And then it doesn't work out.That can be soul crushing. It can be demoralizing. And I think many, many homesteaders have been there. They found the perfect piece of property. They dream of all of the things they could do on that land. And then for whatever reason, it doesn't work out.Tha...2021-08-2321 minThe Homestead JourneyS1E96 Review of The All American 921 and 930 CannersOn today's episode we talk about All-American canners. I have two (a 921 and a 930). On this episode I give my thoughts on both of them. I also mention Mirro and Presto canners. It is my opinion, that if you go that route, you should upgrade the "jiggler" from the generic one to one that can be set to different lbs of pressure. Here is the Presto version.Enjoy!!Brianhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/shophttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.nethttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttp://www.youtube.com/c/3BFarmandHomesteadhttps...2021-08-1627 minThe Homestead JourneyS1E95 Five Mistakes People New To Canning MakeBack on episode 39, I talked about the fact that you CAN can.

And, if you're not careful, you can allow them to kill your curiosity. On today's episode I challenge you to ignore them.

While there, I was able to dive into Cathy R. Payne's book, Saving the Guinea Hogs. As I was reading the book, I was struck by the fact that the policies that lead to the near extinction of the American Guinea Hog were also responsible for the near extinction of homestead community. These are my thoughts on that. And here is a link to Cathy's wonderful book.https://guineahogbooks.com/product/saving-the-guinea-hogs-hardcover/Enjoy!!Brianhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/shophttp...2021-07-1224 minThe Homestead JourneyFMF10 5 Homestead One Hit WondersOn FMF7 and FMF9 we talked about 9 items that are useful and versatile on the homestead.
