If you have seen the other sharing is caring posts you know I have a great love for all things farming and I simply adore the BBC series on farms of the different eras. This time I'll recommend to you the Tudor Monastery Farm. There are 5 episodes that I know of, but I was only able to find the first 4 here, so please enjoy the show and then go find the 5th on youtube.

Sharing is Caring: On The Anatomy Of Thrift
On The Anatomy Of Thrift is a brilliant series of videos on butchering pigs and using everything but the oink. THey have a gripping way of telling stories to illustrate how things have changed over time and why. And a beautiful way to show you how to cook things. Being raised on head cheese, patés, blood sausages and more, these videos are close to my heart. Take your time to watch each of them - hopefully you will be curious enough to try some of these odd bits. They really are delicious.
Please notice that the quality of the first video is nowhere near as good as the later ones. You know practise makes perfect better. When you come to the last video you will know why I am sharing this, because word of mouth - or blogging - is really the best way!

Sharing is caring: 17th Century Farm
This week I want to share not so much a blog, although I do like it a lot, but four specific posts on that blog. The blog is called Reformation Acres and the posts are about 17th century farm life. There are 3 videos in each post of Tales from the Green Valley, a wonderful British reenactment of a farm in the 17th century with one episode for each month of the year. I loved all of them and you might too.
Enjoy!

Sharing is caring: Cultivate Simple
I have a great podcast to share with you. I enjoy listening to podcasts while I knit and sometimes on my commute or while I do chores. I started out listening to only knitting podcast and I still listen to a lot of those, but I have branched out to other subjects as well and I am always open to suggestions from others.
i tend to listen to the newest episode or two and if I like it I'll go all the way back to the beginning and listen to all of it. I did exactly this when I found this podcast.
Cultivate Simple is what it says on the tin. It is a husband and wife show and these two folks just have great personalities. Each episode has a topic, like stocking the larder and plowing with pigs.
I have learned so much from listening to this podcast and find it very inspirering. These folks advocate the value for value model, i.e. if you find value in what they produce then you give value back to them by donating a little money.
The value for value model was actually what inspired me to do this small series.
