Watch the two previous stories with Aaron Fletcher's:
— Part I: On Guerrilla Grazing around Southern Oregon • Went homeless. Done Guerrilla Grazing...
— Part II: Staying Healthy, diet & lifestyle tips • Homeless shepherd shares hunter-gathe...
When we first met Aaron a couple years ago, he and his sheep would pull his wagon home 5 to 10 miles every day in search of greener pastures. He sleeps and rests in his mini wagon, while his sheep "guerrilla graze": eat roadside weeds and trim vacant lots and yards (with permission).
Wanting to use his abundant milk, and generate a small economy for himself, Aaron invested in an ice cream maker, three mini fridges and a solar battery. This extra weight required larger animals to pull the wagon so Aaron tried out a donkey. Recognizing that equines are too big and dangerous for such close quarters, Aaron now plans to re-home it and buy a human harness to help pull the wagon himself.
While he waits for a harness to pull his heavier wagon, Aaron is farm-sitting for a city-dwelling land owner. Here there are plenty of fresh eggs and the calm to invent new systems for his micro mobile farm.
Aaron says his main job is juggling milk: to “balance year-round cheesemaking outdoors, on the go, with no refrigeration.” He’s worked out a system so when milk is most plentiful he makes butter and big cheeses, when he’s getting about 3 cups per milking, he makes ice cream and when he is milking under 3 cups per milking, he makes kefir and single batch fresh cheese.

Aaron"s goat cheese meals looked absolutely delicious - - That grilled cheese sandwich with aged goat cheese, vegetables and organic whole grain bread would be $20 in most USA cities.

Pecorino Romano and Parmesan Reggiano are both Italian sheep's milk cheeses - sheep's milk being the standard for those cheeses. There's a very noticeable taste and texture difference from cow's milk Pecorino and Parmesan cheeses, of which are the standard product available in most grocery stores, but if you're lucky enough to find yourself the sheep's milk made cheeses in your local grocery store, you'll never be satisfied with anything but that on your spaghetti ever again!

My dear Kirsten, the tale of this shepherd named Aaron has certainly stirred my hobbit curiosity! A nomad, a shepherd, and a farmer, all at once - that's an extraordinary blend of roles that goes far beyond my simple life in the Shire.
His wandering life, the wagon he calls home, his flock, his self-sufficiency - it reminds me a bit of my own unexpected journey. And the fact that he uses his sheep to "guerrilla graze" roadside weeds - what a clever, resourceful fellow!
And his endeavour to make cheese and ice cream on the go, with no proper pantry or larder to store it! It's quite the feat, and such a hobbit-like delight for dairy products. I do hope he finds time to enjoy a second breakfast between all his work.
So here's to Aaron, a brave and enterprising soul, far more adventurous than any hobbit I know. Keep on with your journey, and may your path always lead to warm hearths and bountiful pastures. I do hope he knows, the road goes ever on and on.

I often think of Aaron and his grassing family! He is in my thoughts and prayers to keep him safe. He is so knowledgeable about the milk and processing! He show write a book! He is so interesting and brave to seek his own path no matter how unique! Thank you for this new video on his life adventure! Stay safe and healthy!!

This is how you thrive in any recession or societal collapse. I'd like to see other people adopt similar lifestyles with other areas of agriculture!
