## Resource

In this episode of the Joyfully Prepared Podcast, Wendi pulls back the curtain on why her family chose to raise and process their own meat chickens. This is not a how-to guide. It’s a conversation. Wendi answers real questions she’s been asked over the last ten years. Questions about food quality, self-reliance, animal care, cost, emotions, and whether this skill is actually within reach for ordinary families. She shares what she’s learned the hard way. What she would do differently. And why learning even one small food skill can change how you think about what’s in your freezer, how you cook, and how much you waste. If you’ve ever been curious about raising your own meat but felt overwhelmed or unsure where to start, this episode is for you.
