With the onset of cold weather, here is some handy information on protecting your flock! This is our first year with chickens, so we’re hoping for the best, planning for the worst.

Hello friends, just your friendly neighborhood Data here and today I’d like to continue talking about this year’s 2022 Midwest Preparedness Project Fall Festival.
We were blessed this year to have Harmony Hill Farmstead play a few tunes for us around the campfire during the Saturday Night Potluck dinner! <div>We had an excellent group of kids participate in the Food & Water Challenges put on by Mrs Kristi.
My favorite part of this was how much fun people were having, listening to the fiddle play around the fire and during Bartertown!!! -
Those are great questions! We talk about how the bible relates to prepping all the time and there are tons of scriptures that are prepping related. As far as the feeding a stranger question, that depends on your groups SOP and if you’re on door duty that day lol! All kidding aside, we just had this question come up at our Conflicted Cards series we play at the Midwest Preparedness Festival last week!

Hello friends, just your friendly neighborhood Data here and today I’d like to continue talking about this year’s 2022 Midwest Preparedness Project Fall Festival.
One of our Featured Events is a thing we do called Barter town. It’s a cashless bartering exercise that’s fun for the whole family!We also added a couple of Sponsor/Vendors this year to the mix, Grumpy Acres Farm and My Hunny’s Kitchen.
My favorite part of this was how much fun the kids had making bird feeders with Kristi and Todd, and I even ran into Bee, from Life Done Free, lolly gagging of course!-

Hello friends, just your friendly neighborhood Data here and today I’d like to continue talking about this year’s 2022 Midwest Preparedness Project Fall Festival.
One of our Featured teachers this year is our friend, Tamara Lasley of Incredible Knitables and wow, she is a wealth of knowledge, has an amazing talent and has the incredible patience to teach it to others!
Tamara gives a class on the Introduction to Spinning fibers where she covers wool carding, hand spinning material using a spindle, using a double and single pedal spinning wheel and more.
My favorite parts of this class were how easy she made it seem, how many Men actually participated and how soothing it was watching the spinning wheel spool the yarn!
Let’s get Deep with Data and Hand Spinning Yarn at the Midwest Preparedness Festival!

Hello friends, just your friendly neighborhood Data here and today I’d like to continue talking about this year’s 2022 Midwest Preparedness Project Fall Festival. Now, I’ve been a part of this thing for over a decade, and this was one of our best ones yet!
What an Amazing Event you all helped us to be a part this past weekend! We had somewhere around 130-150 amazing men, women and children from Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri in attendance throughout the weekend. So many new faces and so many new friends!
Thank you so much to our Crew, Bobby Spags, Kristi McMillen, Chief, Myself and Charles. All of this was made possible through your hard work, sacrifice of time and donation of energy, I salute you.
We all respectively work our tails off to make it all happen and are an amazing and perfect example of the fact that it indeed takes a village! I imagine the old days were a lot like this. Just a group of like minded folks, stepping up, coming together to lead others where they can and follow others when they need to, and I am grateful to be a part of it. Folks that go out of their way to participate, help others without being asked to or without expecting anything in return, have a special place in Heaven and certainly do God’s work, thank you guys!
A Special Thank You to all of our Vendors, Sponsors and Class Instructors. We appreciate you and could not do this without your participation, love and support! If you would like to be a Sponsor, Vendor or Class Instructor, message me and let’s talk!
Our Main Speaker this year was my new friend, Matt Kleopfer of Harmony Hill Farmstead in Fredonia, Kansas and man let me tell you, what an awesome and relevant story he has! Matt gave a class on Homestead Butchery on a Budget and touched on all sorts of topics like Generational Farming, Homeschooling, How to Farmstead on a Budget, Butchering Livestock and so much more.
My favorite part was him talking about how he was Voted Educator of the Year then decided to homeschool his kids and why!
Let’s get Deep with Data and Harmony Hill Farmstead!
