The Homestead Education Podcast
Everyone deserves an agricultural education — to understand food, land, and responsibility at a scale that fits real life.
Hosted by Kody Hanner, agricultural educator, homeschool mom of six, and lifelong rural advocate, The Homestead Education Podcast explores how accessible, small-scale agricultural education can build capable people, strengthen families, and create resilient local food systems.
Drawing from generations of rural knowledge, educated in animal science, and years of teaching families outside traditional systems, Kody breaks down complex food and education topics into practical, usable skills for homes, classrooms, and communities.
Each week, you’ll hear honest conversations about food systems, small-scale agriculture, homeschooling, and real-world education — designed for families, educators, and anyone who believes we shouldn’t outsource our lives.
Whether you live on acreage, in town, or somewhere in between, this podcast will help you understand where your food comes from, why it matters, and how practical agricultural knowledge can create meaningful change.

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!
