Pantry Chat - Homesteading Family

If you want to have a sustainable oil source (that's not from animal fats) then consider growing and pressing your own seed and nut oils.
Join me with my guest Bevin Cohen from @SmallHouseFarm as we break down everything you need to know about pressing your own seed and nut oils.
We're clarifying the misinformation that all seed oils are unhealthy, as well as discussing the supplies needed to press your own oil and the sustainability of pressing enough oil for your family each year.
