Episode 31: Farm and Housing Update with Back to the Land Buzz!
This week on Call to Farms, Tim and Sophie are back with another exciting "kitchenside" update!
First up, a farm fresh update! We share our experience speaking at the Farm Where You Live conference in Asheville, NC. Hear about their talks on Building Community, Traditional Natural Farming, and the ever-important question: How to Find the Right Property to Homestead On. They also talk about getting their hands in soil with starting their 2024 garden.
Exciting news! Tim and Sophie are thrilled to announce they'll be bringing their expertise on finding the perfect homestead property to the Back to the Land Festival (October 18-20) and the Modern Homesteading Conference in 2025!
Speaking of finding the perfect property, the latest news from the field is HOT! The homesteading market is booming, reminiscent of the pre-2022 San Francisco Bay Area frenzy. Tim and Sophie remind us that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to homesteading. It's all about your goals and dreams.
They emphasize the importance of setting realistic expectations and going into this journey with eyes wide open. By understanding your goals and finances, and surrounding yourself with a supportive team, you can turn your homesteading dreams into reality.

Episode 27: Better Late Than Never
In this episode, Tim and Sophie provide an update to their farm which includes a message of hope as they discuss growing garlic out of season and taking small steps towards achieving goals. Whether it's growing garlic, learning to cook or building a homestead, it's never too late or "out of season" to start. Even though Winter is cold and can make the garden look dreary, we are reminded that it is a time of new growth and preparation. We discuss our love of baby lambs and calves as we prepare for Spring. Since our last update, we sold our last two LGD Livestock Guardian Dogs to Dr. Joseph Mercola and Mike "The Fit Farmer" who sought working dogs, raised the right way, for their respective homesteads. We highlight our upcoming events and discuss Sophie and Dani's mastermind program that they will be launching to women.
