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!

Love this podcast
Just recently found you and loving already. Love chicken talk
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.
A space to learn from homesteading trial & error
I love the content offered by The Girly Homesteader. She shares some really good ideas and lessons learned. She’s always trying something new, which is very encouraging. 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!
