Start Homesteading in Your Kitchen with Meghan Gates

“The cattle industry is such a long game. You just have to plan for 10, 20 years in advance all the time.”    In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Meghan Gates. Meghan has a lot on her plate as a mother, rancher, and a business woman. Meghan dove into her background in agriculture as well as how she and her husband started their own cattle operation and selling beef shares. On the side, Meghan also has a western apparel online shop and a soup cookbook! Meghan suggested, if you’re interested in getting started in homesteading but aren’t sure where to start your journey, try the kitchen. Meghan shared where she got her inspiration for her cookbook and some techniques for cooking she wishes to pass on to others.     About our guest: Meghan Gates, Good Handle - Oklahoma   Meghan is a ranch wife and mother homesteading and raising beef cattle on the Oklahoma high plains.
