The Homestead Education
Homesteading. Homeschooling. Hard truths — made simple.
I’m Kody Hanner — animal scientist, educator, and homesteader raising my family on forty acres in North Idaho. After years of teaching families across the country how to grow their own food and grow as people, I’m here to bring real-world education back home.
Each week, we’ll talk about how to build a functional homestead, teach practical life skills, and raise kids who can think, work, and thrive — without relying on broken systems. From livestock and gardens to homeschooling and personal growth, you’ll get expert guidance, honest stories, and no-fluff advice you can actually use.
Whether you’re brand-new to self-sufficiency or deep into the lifestyle, this podcast will help you build confidence, purpose, and common sense — one project, one habit, and one conversation at a time.
Follow now to learn how to homestead smarter, educate better, and live free.

Have you always wanted to stay home with your family to homeschool and homestead? Guest Lindsay Sutherland, host of The Passive Income Examiner, is filled with business building ideas and motivational stories to get you started!
Lindsay's passion for passive income was birthed from a desire to live her best life without waiting until retirement.Since both of her parents passed away before making it to retirement, she realized we have no guarantee of someday. Like all of us, she needed money to fund adventures and support her family, as well as time to enjoy the activities and meaningful moments.

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!
