I loved meeting Brittany Hansen so much; it was such a gift spending time with her because she is a very well-rounded person! Brittany lives in Idaho with her spouse and children on 1/3 acre, and she is homesteading - or as she calls it Micro-homesteading, but it is totally effective! And some cool tips for city folks were shared, because she is using every inch of space, and has created a sharing community where she is, so she can access locally grown or made items, and offer some in return. We get to learn about raising QUAIL! I've heard of quail here and there, but have I actually seen a quail? Nope. Tasted their eggs? Nope again. Brittany's kids have an allergy to chicken eggs, and learned that quail eggs can be a good option, so she is raising her own quail to feed her family! (Check out my promo posts for this episode, because Brittany shared pictures with me!) I've been told since talking with her that quail might be a way around zoning with chickens, too...Brittany is immersed in the sustainability world - She is Co-Owner of Viiision, which, my understanding, is like a PR for companies to share their transparency of sustainability progress so that customers will see them to support them (Brittany, please correct me if I'm too far off!).AND, since we talked, she has started her own podcast, called "Who's Going to Fix This?" Talking about world issues, and who is taking the steps to make change happen. Brilliant! Only a couple of episodes in, and I'm hooked!Brittany's message she wants you to remember from our conversation: "If we want to change the world we have to lead with that change. If you want more sustainability adopt little changes that interweave that into your life until it becomes a part of you." I feel like if anyone walks the walk, it's Brittany.You can find Brittany on Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-a-hansen/Or on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/harp.strings/Find her business Viiision here https://viiision.com/You can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)How Do I Get There From Here by Jane Bolduc - listen to more at https://www.janebolduc.com/Podcast cover by Becca Kofron- follow here on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/cute_but_loud/ and check out her awesome art projects.
