Inspired by our trip to The Homestead Festival in Columbia, TN last week - we decided to start a podcast to share our (very) different journeys in this homesteading life. Ginny lives in Southern New Hampshire and Allison in the Finger Lakes Region of New York state. We hope you are inspired by our podcast and maybe even have a few laughs along the way.
