November is coming to a close already! The winter, or summer, months are nearly upon us. I hope you enjoy what we have for you in this week's newsletter.

Things happening in the community.

The @naturalmedicine contest is back and this time it's in collaboration with @build-it. What can you build or make from scratch which ties in with the natural medicine ethos?

This week's @ecotrain question of the week is looking at the paleo diet. Would you like to try paleo cooking or do you already eat a paleo diet? There may still be a little time left to share a recipe and be included in the wrap up.

Some highlights of the week

When you raise animals, there is so much that can go wrong and a lot of learning is done along the way. Each animal is different and often surprises you with something new. In this article @goat-girlz tells us the tale of Casper the goat and a condition which taught her and her friend something new.

I'd like to give a welcome back to @wholesomeroots and thank her for sharing her delicious butternut squash soup recipe.

Housing is becoming quite an issue of late for both economical and ecological reasons. In this article, @andrewfleming highlights a potential solution which could help address both of these issues using a simple plant.

From @artemislives we have some wisdom on seeds, trees and the need for planning ahead. Could it be our duty to grow trees, even if we haven't the room for them ourselves? This is someone who always seems to put a different perspective on things.

Thank you for stopping by. This week's newsletter was brought to you by @minismallholding.
