Here you can observe the extraordinary style of the North American Goat Whisperer.

His method is as unique as it is interesting. The high leg approach, the waving carrot and the appropriate attire are all part of the art of goat whispering.

If you see the Goat Whisperer in his natural habitat, please do not approach and observe safely from a distance.

Friends, an exciting new journey is beginning for the Nolans.
We moved and landed on a beautiful piece of land - still in Tennessee, just a little farther out from where we used to be.

We are absolutely elated and it is a dream come true. We are also exhausted. Most Americans will know the moving company 'Two guys and a truck'. They're awesome...at least that's what other people say. We wouldn't know. Noah convinced us that it's unnecessary and we can do it ourselves. We love the boy, we just don't like him that much right now😂

While we were getting aquatinted with the land and the animals, Kristin had a brilliant idea - she said, "let's do a special video series for our tribe on Locals that is all about the farm, the gardens, the animals...that way they can be part of the journey", and that's how FarmTales was born.

This is the first official and very short video. There is (much) more to come. We will share the good, the better, the best and in the unlikely event that not everything ...

FUN STORY from last week - I got pulled over by a town cop for being out of inspection . . . . . . . since 01. The officer told me he pulled me over because of it. I TOLD HIM THE TRUTH - Vehicle inspection is extortion. He tried to say "it's the law". I once again gave 'em the truth. I don't have money for extortion and inspection does not keep people safe, it just makes money. I received no fine, no paperwork, nuthin. I did however make a trip to the station with a new insurance card. 😅I had shown 'em an old outdated one n he asked that I bring an updated one to his station the next day. As I let the officer get a taste of weaponized truth I watched him consider what I told 'em. He could not deny it AND began thinking about just what purpose he serves. Said officer WANTS to be a peacekeeper n not an asshole policing for profit n I took opportunity ta make sure he knows the difference. Now he does. To his benefit and others as well. 😅 n perhaps wit this lil tale y'all will get ...

I just received this message from a friend.
In my eyes this is very important knowledge.
I also put in a link to a video about it, haven't seen it myself yet, as I'm trying to catching up on things I need to do 🙄😅😅

Mycelium 101 (in 20 seconds)

What it is: Mycelium is the root-like network of fungi. If you grow it through agricultural fibers (hemp hurds, straw, pomace) in a mold, then heat it to stop growth, you get a lightweight, compostable bio-composite part. Ecovative’s “Mushroom® Packaging” is the classic example; it grows in about a week and home-composts quickly.

Why it matters: It can replace foams (EPS/PU) and some plastics in protective packaging and interior acoustic panels, with a circular feedstock story (local residues). It’s part of a broader global push to cut plastic waste.

Why now (policy tailwinds)

The EU’s new Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) entered into force on Feb 11, 2025 and applies from Aug 12, 2026. This accelerates demand for packaging that’s recyclable/compostable and easier to label correctly.
