This podcast chronicles my homesteading journey on 7 acres in Ohio with my husband, chickens, bees and garden. This podcast is meant to be a bridge between nature centered homesteading and the more girly aspects of your life. Some topics discussed on my show are: what it means to be a homesteader, beekeeping, food preservation, self sufficiency, gardening for beginners, planners, backyard chickens, seasonal living, year round gardening, nontoxic homemaking, holistic living, safer skincare, hunting, clean beauty, real food cooking, canning basics, rural living, and living in the Midwest!
