The Homestead Education

Are there misconceptions about being a homesteader?

Do you ever feel people have misconceptions about what it means to be a homesteader? Or do you ever feel like you aren't meeting the bar with your homesteading?
Homesteading doesn't have to fit in a box. In fact, as a homesteader, you are creating your own box! Join me to talk about what it means to be a homesteader and how you can better reach your homestead goals.

Good Food and a Stubborn Wife Saved My Life with Ron Hanner

In a special episode, my husband, Ron Hanner, joins me to discuss why we began homesteading. We hope no one else ever has to face this story, but we are so happy that we have reached a place where we can hopefully help you on your journey toward self-sufficiency!
When the American food system is broken, we share how we have fixed it for ourselves.

Should we boycott Boxtops for Education?

I remember proudly bringing a ziplock baggie filled with cut-out boxtops to school to help fundraise. This is something that I would be embarrassed to do today for a host of reasons.
This leads to the question of whether we should be boycotting BoxTops for Education.
