The Homestead Education
The Homestead Education Podcast is for homesteaders and homeschoolers who are seeking to continue and advance their passion for a self-sufficient lifestyle. If you are ready to learn, be encouraged, and guided, my podcast can help you (and your kids), grow your own food and grow as a person with a homestead education. Join myself and guests as I share and explore homesteading, homeschooling, and growing as a person centered on the benefits of a homestead education.

If your homestead isn't compliant, you can find yourself in trouble. Alexia Kulwiec from Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund has helpful tips for you.
Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) protects the rights of farmers and consumers to engage in direct commerce through legal representation and policy work. Our members receive help drafting the agreements they need to provide food directly to consumers. We are there for farmers facing inspection and regulatory issues and may provide representation of members facing litigation if it fits our mission. We work to influence state and local policy to ease the regulatory burden placed on independent farmers.

As our country embraces an amazing new grassroots health movement for our families, we will also be looking at healthy foods, weight, and childhood obesity. I, for one, am 100% on board for this, as I am one of many in my generation facing the results of an unhealthy America. We have chronic diseases, struggle with our weight, and deal with inflammation, all while helping our kids who struggle with nuerodivergencies from the same food issues.
This episode is packed with great information on homesteading, homeschooling, and how health can look different for everyone.

Kody Hanner
Homestead Educator
When I graduated from college I know that I wanted to continue to teach people about agriculture and our food systems. When I began down the homeschool and homestead path, it only made sense to focus on teaching our next generation about the joys of homesteading.
My focus will be on not only how to homestead and homestead, but the mindset and personal growth that will help you on this amazing journey we are taking!
Keep growing!
