Gives 100%

The Girly Homesteader gives her heart and soul into her family, chickens, podcast, garden...well, all the things! She is passionate about what matters to her and it shows. She is sweet and she is honest. Im not a homesteader, but I still enjoy listening and learning from Laura. She has a great speaking voice and a natural way of explaining things.

I have learned a lot from all of her experiences. I’m so thankful to be able to come to a space & not feel so alone in my journey!
