The Farm Family Table⏐Homesteading, Homemaking, Christian Mom New Do you desire a simpler, healthier lifestyle for your family but just feel stuck in the hustle of busy mom life? Do you wish there was an easy way to start homesteading without immediately feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or not good enough? Hi, I’m Jocelyn, and I’m so excited you’re here at The Farm Family Table. I remember when I became a new mom, I wanted to set my child up for their best, healthiest life, but often I felt exhausted and discouraged. I wanted to provide the best food, from-scratch, and be more self-reliant, but it felt impossible to balance learning new skills, taking care of my home, and spending quality time with my kids. I felt overwhelmed by all the things I wanted and needed to do, and felt guilty when I couldn’t keep up. I compared myself to picture-perfect farm life on social media, only to feel like I’m not doing enough but not sure how to do more. This was not the life God had planned for me. But then I discovered a secret to start homesteading the easy way for less stress, more joy, and more time focusing on what matters most, faith and family. What if I told you, there’s a way that you can achieve healthy balance and thrive in this lifestyle that God is calling you to? Want to learn how? Inside this podcast, you will find: - Encouragement for creating a homestead with God at the center - Resources for building knowledge in homesteading skills like cooking from scratch, gardening, food preservation, and raising animals - Practical tips for faith-based family life on the farm I can’t wait for you to join me on this journey, so we can slow down, put God and our families first, and enjoy a more simple, natural, self-sufficient lifestyle. My prayer is that you leave this podcast encouraged in Christ and equipped with practical knowledge for your homestead.

    96. Struggling to Find Time to Homestead? Reclaim Your Time in a Distracted World

    Have you ever tried to add one more thing to your homestead but felt like there just aren’t enough hours in the day. I am willing to bet that at one point or another you have looked at your to-do list, glanced around at the dishes, the laundry, your garden outside, and the kids asking for a snack again, and thought, “How am I supposed to get any of this done?” You are absolutely not alone! We’re living in a world that is more distracting than ever. Social media, constant notifications, comparison, endless information… all of it pulls our attention in a hundred directions. And when you combine that with real life: raising kids, homeschooling, homemaking, maybe working a job on top of everything, homesteading can start to feel overwhelming instead of fulfilling. But what might not be obvious is that you don’t actually need more time. You might want more time, but you just need to reclaim the time you already have. In this episode, we’re talking about how to do exactly that. We’ll talk about the hidden things that steal your time that you might not even be noticing, practical rhythms that make your day flow easier, and simple mindset shifts that help you prioritize and bring more peace and purpose back into your homestead. I hope this episode encouraged you and gave you a fresh perspective on how you can reclaim your time in a world that’s constantly pulling you in different directions. You’re juggling a lot. Homesteading, raising a family, keeping a home, these are big, meaningful things. You weren’t meant to do them perfectly, you were meant to do them faithfully, through asking the Lord for help. So remember, you don’t have to work harder, you just have to be more intentional with the time you already have.

    95. How to Keep Kids Healthy This Winter: Simple Tips to Boost Your Family’s Immune System

    Whether you like it or not, winter is just around the corner. Once the true cold sets in and the snow hits, that means the balancing act begins, trying to keep everyone healthy while staying indoors more and battling the never-ending runny noses. I know as moms, it can feel like we’re constantly on guard, waiting for the next bug to sweep through the house. I’ve been there, but knock on wood, the last few years have been pretty good for us as far as sickness, and I’ve come to realize that we’re not powerless when it comes to our kids' health. There are simple, everyday habits that make a huge difference in our family’s immune health. So today, we’re going to talk about practical, holistic habits that support the immune system. If you’re ready to enter this winter season with more confidence (and hopefully fewer sick days), you’re in the right place. I hope this episode leaves you feeling a little more equipped, and maybe even encouraged that you don’t have to slog through months of illness, as we head into the winter months. Keeping our families healthy doesn’t have to be overwhelming or complicated. Healthy habits and good hygiene really do work when it comes to preventing sickness, and that the effort that you put in is totally worth it.

    93. Creating Holiday Traditions Around Real Food

    When you think back on the holidays growing up, I’m willing to bet, the thing you remember most is not the decorations, not the presents, but the thing you remember most is the food. The smell of scalloped potatoes and ham in the oven, have half a dozen choices for pie, the treat tray of homemade goodies that would come out in the afternoon. Those are the memories that stick. But somewhere along the way, chances are after Grandma wasn’t making the meal anymore, our modern holiday season became so busy, so commercialized, that we traded those things for convenience. We grab the pre-made cookie dough, the store-bought pies, the boxed side dishes or the gravy packet, and while there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, I think many of us feel something is missing. Maybe you find yourself wishing for more or for holidays meals to be like they used to be. Today, I want to talk about how to bring real food back into our kitchens, and give your practical steps on how you create those special traditions for your family. You don’t have to be a gourmet cook or have a picture-perfect kitchen. With a little bit of prioritizing and planning, you can make delicious food from scratch that your kids will remember and talk about for a lifetime,  even when you are in the middle of a busy holiday season. I hope this episode inspires you to make positive changes around holiday food this season, to start incorporating more real ingredients so you can feed your family well. But also know that this is not an all or nothing. This is not a legalistic thing that you shall only eat healthy non-processed foods. This is an opportunity to take baby steps towards better eating, and set your kids up to have a legacy of from-scratch cooking in your home.

    92. Homemade Slow Cooker Meals for a Busy Season

    If you’re anything like me, this time of year can feel like your plate is full. Besides chores, school, kids’ activities, there’s everything that comes with changing seasons and holidays approaching. I know the days can get long and the to-do list even longer. And while putting healthy homemade meals on the table is high on my priority list, sometimes it feels like it’s just out of reach, and then I’m sitting there kicking myself again that we didn’t have a vegetable on the table. But, that’s where the slow cooker comes in. In this episode, I talk about how to make cozy, nutritious meals for your family when you are short on time using one of my favorite small appliances, my slow cooker. So if you are ready to simplify things in your kitchen while still providing delicious, healthy meals, I am so excited to share my favorite tips and recipes so you can focus on the things that are important to you in this season.  I hope this episode encourages you to bring out that slow cooker and make it work for you. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just an opportunity to simplify real food that feeds your family well. If this episode helped you, please share it with a friend who’s feeling stretched thin right now. Sometimes, a simple reminder that homemade doesn’t have to mean complicated can make all the difference.

    91. What You Need to Know Before You Buy Half a Cow for Your Freezer

    I am always a huge advocate for buying food in bulk when it saves you money. And with the price of meat at the grocery store, buying half a cow can be a great way to save a lot of money on beef. In the process, you are also able to stock your freezer and know exactly where your meat comes from, but the details might feel a little overwhelming. How much does it cost? How much freezer space do you need? Maybe you’re just not quite sure what you’d be getting yourself into. In today’s episode, I am breaking it all down. I’ll walk you through everything you need to know before you buy half a cow, from understanding the terminology and choosing your cuts, to figuring out costs, freezer space, and how to make the most of your purchase. So whether you’re brand new to buying beef in bulk or just want to make your next order a little smoother, this episode will help you feel confident and prepared before you fill your freezer. I hope this episode helps you feel more confident about buying beef in bulk or just encourages you to think differently about how you feed your family. We’ve been filling our freezer with beef for years at this point, and it’s been a big blessing to our family, especially now as we try to feed a growing family. This can be another great way that you can create a bulk pantry that really provides and nourishes your family.  Thank you so much for joining me!   Our Sponsors: - A’del Natural Cosmetics - natural, U.S. made makeup, Christian and family-owned!

    90. Finding Joy in Your Day to Day When You Feel Burned Out

    I know sometimes this homesteading, homemaking, mom-life thing can feel a lot. Between homeschooling, cooking from scratch, keeping up with the garden, and trying to make sure everyone has clean clothes, it’s easy to lose sight of joy in the middle of all the doing. Maybe you’ve been there too, where your days start to feel more like survival mode than anything else. You love your family, you love your home, but you just feel tired. Like you’re running on empty and wondering when you’ll actually feel the peace and joy you thought this lifestyle would bring. Today, I want to talk about how to find joy again, and not just with some pep talk, but how to practically get yourself in a place where you can feel refreshed to pour into your kids and serve your family. So if you’ve been feeling stretched thin, worn out, or just a little disconnected from the life you’re working so hard to build, grab your coffee, and let’s chat about finding joy in our homes again, one simple moment, one simple habit at a time. I pray that this episode gives you the encouragement that you need today.

    89. 30 Things I Don't Buy to Save Our Family Thousands of Dollars

    The further I get in life, the more I realize, life is expensive. Groceries, household supplies, kids’ stuff—it all adds up so quickly. And sometimes it feels like no matter how careful you are, there’s always another thing you’re supposed to buy. But here’s the thing: one of the biggest ways our family has saved thousands of dollars isn’t by couponing or chasing sales… it’s by simply not buying certain things at all. In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through 30 things I don’t buy anymore, things that used to drain our budget but that we’ve learned to either make ourselves, go without, or replace with a simpler alternative. And really, we are not missing anything. So if you’re looking for practical ways to save money, reduce clutter, and live a little more simply, this episode is for you. I hope this episode gave you some fresh ideas for saving money without feeling like you’re missing out. Maybe you don’t need to cut all 30 things, but even changing a handful can make a big difference in your budget. It’s really about being resourceful, creative, and intentional, especially in a season where everything feels like it’s getting more expensive. If you’re in that place where you’re trying to make one income stretch, homeschool your kids or be home with your kids, and still put nourishing food on the table, it’s tough! But every small change adds up, even if you start with just one or two things from this list.
