Rebuilding After Hurricane Fiona
Liane, along with her husband Chris, arrived in September 2020, having bought their property sight unseen to find it overgrown, abandoned and derelict. With a lot of hard work, learning from mistakes and YouTube, they have made a solid start to turning this place into a working homestead.
They started with 25 chickens in April 2021 and have now grown to 80 chickens, four pigs, 3 geese and four ducks. Liane and Chris had never had livestock before, and they are loving it. They are able to provide fresh eggs, veggies, meat and baking to the food dessert of a community through their farmstand and farmers’ markets.
Liane shares with us how they, along with their community, came together during Hurricane Fiona to support one another and begin the process of rebuilding.

Liberty stayed the same, year after year—a name you knew and a reputation you could depend on. In the hundred or so years since, the green Liberty stripe became a badge of honor and pride in the country and county road stretches of rural America. Patents expire over time, but traditions and history don’t. And while there may be other bib overall brands on the market today, there’s only one Liberty.
Liberty is about living free. Remaining true to yourself and the qualities that drive you.
With us, what you see is what you get. We won’t sugarcoat it, and we won’t pander to fleeting style trends pretending to be something we’re not. We make a pair that has done the job for a hundred years. It was good enough for them and it’s good enough for us.
Liberty is about unwavering quality and craftsmanship built to take on every task, every day. We respect folks who tell it like it is—even if it takes them some time to get to the point. So we’re telling you that our bib overalls are tough enough for your task. They work for farming the traditional way. They work for painting giant small-town murals. They work for backwoods engineering. They work for slow-smoking ribs. They work for hunting alligators in the Louisiana swamps. Heck, they even work for raising backyard chickens.

Life Changing Podcast!
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ – ENiiD Goodman via Apple Podcasts · Canada ·
“Words can not express the gratitude I feel for your podcast. I binged them through some dark days during the pandemic & your messages brought my heart hope, laughs & some tears too. Farming isn’t always easy; you and your guests have taught our family so much but most importantly to celebrate how far we’ve come ~ it hasn’t always been easy raising kids with disabilities who are also visible minorities….. one day I hope to be a guest on your show and share our story which is filled with songs about our life (I’m a musician,) the fairies who brought me here and our many adventures in farming and Agrotourism xo”
