If you want to know what it really means to live a more sustainable, self–sufficient and satisfying life as a homesteader and small farmer, listen in and learn from experienced folks who have literally written the book on it.

In our last episode we introduced our listeners to the 2010 Premier Issue of the New Pioneer magazine published by Stanley R. Harris, New York, NY. In this episode we open the Premier Issue wider and introduce our listeners to George Nash, gifted author and contributor to the New Pioneer.

In this episode we are pleased to take you right into a northern Vermont farm house, for a warm and rich, down on the farm, in between chores chat with a very special, gifted and highly experienced homesteading and small farm couple, George Nash and his wife Jane Waterman.

George and Jane say that around their table there is always room for more, so pull up a chair, and join us for Part 1 of this fun and informative introductory farmhouse chat.

Merchants of Joy: George Nash and his wife Jane Waterman
