Cultivate Simple 1: Why?

October 9th, 2012

In our first episode on the Cultivate Simple podcast we ask the question “Why?”. Why did Susy start the blog and why does it continue, why did we move to Maine, why do a podcast. We finish up with ‘Around the Run’, our homestead update.

To keep up with what’s going on at Chiot’s Run around the web you can find me on Twitter and on Facebook.

Update (10/10/12): We are now on iTunes. If you have any other services that you use and would like us to submit the podcast to, let us know in the comments.

About

This is a daily journal of my efforts to cultivate a more simple life, through local eating, gardening and so many other things. We used to live in a small suburban neighborhood Ohio but moved to 153 acres in Liberty, Maine in 2012.
