Raw Milk Talk With Mark McAfee of Organic Pastures on the Homegrown Evolution Podcast
Image from the Organic Pastures website In the second episode of the Homegrown Evolution podcast we present a talk by Mark McAfee, founder and CEO of Organic Pastures Dairy, a raw milk dairy in California.

A Tour of the Homegrown Evolution Compound

When the fruit trees mature in a few years we...
Happy Holidays from Homegrown Evolution

Kinda like this: Look out, this might get stuck in your head–what the Germans call “ohrwurm” (ear worm): Fröhliche Weihnachten! May your coming year be full of homegrown veggies, bikes and bathtub booze!...
Remember to Label Those Jars!
“Label, label, label!” This was one of the most important lessons I learned in my Master Food Preserver training. You’ll note, from the jars above, that I’m not very good about this. When were those jars canned and what’s in them? I have no idea. They were probably the result of some late night canning frenzy two years ago. At the time I probably thought to myself, “I’ll label them in the morning.”...
Homegrown Evolution Food Review: Backpacker’s Pantry Huevos Rancheros
On our recent Homegrown Evolution journey to Santa Rosa Island we taste tested another freeze-dried food item, Huevos Rancheros from Backpacker’s Pantry. While this product has an impressive shelf life and ease of preparation, making it appropriate for emergency food supplies, we’ve had better freeze dried entrees. Our fellow campers had the same reaction to the visual look of the cooked and re-hydrated product: dog vomit. The taste...
