Celebrate with us as we hit the massive milestone of one whole year of the podcast! Part 2:https://www.patreon.com/posts/145593931To mark the occasion, we’re joined by the wonderful Patricia from Off Grid Ireland – homesteader, storyteller, and one of the most inspiring voices in the Irish community. Patricia shares her personal predictions for the year ahead – everything from food security and energy independence to community resilience and what’s really coming down the pipe for rural and off-grid living in Ireland and beyond. We throw in our own hopes, fears, and slightly unhinged forecasts for 2026, from tech shifts and economic wobbles to the quiet revolution happening in hedgerows and smallholdings across the country.And yes, we even manage to squeeze in a rant about the creeping takeover of halal meat in the supermarkets – because apparently nothing says “Irish self-sufficiency” like discovering your local butcher now blesses everything in Arabic just to keep the supply chain happy.Who knew freedom tasted like compliance?)Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’re just discovering us, this episode is pure celebration, reflection, and forward-looking craic. Grab a cuppa (or something stronger), pull up a chair, and let’s toast to another year of growing our own food, minding our own business, and building the future we actually want.
