In this episode of The Farmish Front Porch, we’re talking about what happens when people become pixels and opinions, and how to bring the human part back to our conversations. This isn’t about quitting the internet. It’s about remembering what it was supposed to be: a way to connect, to help, to remind each other we’re not alone.
We need to start showing up again in real rooms, with real people, at the speed of a pot of coffee.

The fast, easy option doesn’t always feed your soul. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between getting it done and feeling filled up—whether that’s in your homesteading life, your work, your food, or your everyday routine.
