What if you could have a healthier, more secure lifestyle with greater sustainability and self-sufficiency for you, your family and your community? That’s what Homesteading Family is all about. Carolyn and Josh have taken their popular YouTube series, “Pantry Chat” and turned it into a podcast so you can discover how to take the leap from a “normal” life to a homestead life, filled with meaning, beauty and freedom. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the city or the country, if you’ve ever wanted to explore the homesteading life, this is your chance to learn how to do it in less time with fewer bumps in the road. It’s like sitting down with a cup of coffee with friends. Round up your cast iron pans and mason jars and start listening!

Homesteading with Children & Making it ALL WORK! | Pantry Chat With Lisa Bass
Homesteading with children sounds extremely difficult, especially for large families or those with younger children. The truth is, by teaching our children traditional skills at a young age they'll become contributing members of, and huge assets to the family as they get older.

Customer Reviews
Quality Content!!
I love to listen to your podcast while I’m putting my boys down for their naps! I know that no matter the subject, you always provide with not only entertaining content, but also great information!!
Thanks so much!
What a fountain of great information.
There’s so much to learn from these folks that you may want to listen to some of the episodes more than once. If you’re able, take notes and you may be able to catch all of the great information. If like me, you listen while doing other tasks, repeating the show is sometimes necessary, but they’re good enough that repeats are just as good as the first time.
Keep up the amazing work!
So good!
A wealth of knowledge! So thankful others are willing to discuss a “different” way of life than mainstream & help others achieve the same!
Also not convinced this isn’t Dax Shepard talking. Seriously. They sound the same.
