Lucas Daniels

Lucas is the co-host of the Broken Shovel Podcast. He lives in Vershire Vermont with his wife Meghan, dog Dusty and cat Comrade Pinklepurr. He settled on his homestead of 10 acres in 2019 and became a full time homesteader in 2022.
Using his Culinary background he crafts many delicious treats from his sprawling garden. His passions for brewing, fermenting, canning and preserving go a long way to keeping his small family fed even when the Vermont winters suggest fresh food isn’t available.

“Through this podcast, working with Eric, I hope to not only educate people about how climate policy is driving disaster but also share with them my success’ and failures as a homesteader so that we might learn together”.

Lucas' views and opinions are his own and do not reflect those of his employer.

Eric grew up in the Green Mountains and after recently purchasing his childhood home is now starting homesteading projects to help reduce his families dependence on store bought products and living a healthy and more sustainable lifestyle.

Eric grew up watching his grandmother canning and preserving and he now wants to use his knowledge to help other learn how to make things for themselves.
His green thumb has allowed him to grow a beautiful garden every year and have a bountiful harvest while narrowly avoiding a blood sacrifice to the gods.
Pickling is his favorite way to preserve and has been trying to hone in on his Grandmother's sour pickle recipe.

Eric is a Network engineer by trade but has a passion for environmental science and botany.

\"With Lucas, I hope to help people appreciate the world around them and take notice of the ecosystems and ecology that surrounds us and the not so subtle dangers we are seeing in those system.\"
