Twenty years ago, Stefan Sobkowiak bought a commercial apple orchard with the intention of converting it to an organic orchard.

He then decided to tear out most of the trees and replant in a way that would maximize biodiversity and yield while minimizing the amount of maintenance required. Inspired by permaculture principles, the orchard now counts over 100 cultivars of apples, plums, pears, cherries, and countless other fruits and vegetables. Today’s interview was like meeting a kindred spirit.  Stefan and I spoke for almost … Continue reading →

My Basic Sausage Recipe

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

I mentioned this recipe in the recent herb show when I talked about sage.  I promised I would include it in the show notes but as often happens I forgot to due to a time crunch.  Rather than go back and insert it into those notes I figured I would do a stand alone post about it. I originally got the base of this recipe from Chef Keith Snow.  His recipe was for 7 pounds.  I modified it to suit my taste (which you may wish to do with my version by the way) and adjusted the ingredients to a … Continue reading →

How Quickly Some Predictions Come True

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

On Wednesday I did a show on individual leadership, in that show I pointed out how your anger, passion and energy are misdirected by the TV and the media away from what really matters, at one point I said the following, “What does this have to do with individual leadership? Okay, I have been teaching you guys this for six years.  When your energy, when your emotion, when your anger, when your passion is directed at something like some moron, in some desert, that says he wants to put some flag up over your White House.  Which you probably don’t … Continue reading →
