Podcasts about Homesteading

Welcome to the last episode of 2025. Instead of forcing goals or rushing a fresh start, we do something softer and more realistic: a homestead reset. We walk through three simple categories — keep, release, pause — to clear space in your mind, your home, and your heart before the new year begins.In this episode:• why resets feel better than resolutions• how tiny habits and “showing up” actually built your year• what worked for you in 2025 (hint: more than you think)• how releasing expectations makes room to breathe• pausing without quitting• why January is a recovery month for moms• how journaling keeps you honest about your growthSimple reflection invitation:Write down 3 things you'll keep, 3 you'll release, and 3 you'll pause as you move into 2026.That tiny list is a reset. It's space. It's permission.Reminder:The Joyfully Prepared New Year begins February 1st.January is for recovery, naps, leftovers, and slower days.

In this episode, we talk with Jennifer Whitney, who is the owner, farmer, and co-founder of Natural Nook Farm in West Salem, Ohio. For nearly 20 years, Jennifer and her husband, Adam, have built a vibrant, faith-rooted homestead dedicated to natural living, self-sufficiency, and community.Jennifer shares how Natural Nook Farm has grown from a simple family property into a thriving small farm that produces handcrafted goat-milk soaps, naturally dyed and hand-spun angora rabbit and Jacob sheep wool products, and an incredible array of homegrown foods and medicinal herbs. From freeze-dried vegetables and garlic powder to elderberry teas, jellies, and herbal remedies, Jennifer and her husband are deeply committed to using what they grow and teaching others to do the same. Their mission extends far beyond their own land. Jennifer regularly speaks to Career Center students about homesteading skills, inspiring the next generation to grow, create, and build with intention. She and Adam also founded B.U.C.K. Adventures, a 501(c)(3) offering life-changing, all-expense-paid adaptive whitetail hunting experiences for individuals facing life-altering circumstances. Applications for the 2026 season are now open.Jennifer opens up about the lessons homesteading has taught her: the power of community, the importance of trying new things, even if they fail, and the value of starting small. She reminds us that you don't need a thousand acres to begin living more sustainably; you just need the willingness to take the first step.For Natural Nook Farm, the next steps are big ones. As they head into 2026, the Whitneys are expanding into horsedrawn carriage and wagon services, powered by their growing team of Percheron horses, an exciting new chapter shaped by the belief that change, while hard, can open doors you never expected. Learn more at naturalnookfarm.com.Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Have you ever tried to add one more thing to your homestead but felt like there just aren't enough hours in the day. I am willing to bet that at one point or another you have looked at your to-do list, glanced around at the dishes, the laundry, your garden outside, and the kids asking for a snack again, and thought, “How am I supposed to get any of this done?” You are absolutely not alone! We're living in a world that is more distracting than ever. Social media, constant notifications, comparison, endless information… all of it pulls our attention in a hundred directions. And when you combine that with real life: raising kids, homeschooling, homemaking, maybe working a job on top of everything, homesteading can start to feel overwhelming instead of fulfilling. But what might not be obvious is that you don't actually need more time. You might want more time, but you just need to reclaim the time you already have. In this episode, we're talking about how to do exactly that. We'll talk about the hidden things that steal your time that you might not even be noticing, practical rhythms that make your day flow easier, and simple mindset shifts that help you prioritize and bring more peace and purpose back into your homestead. I hope this episode encouraged you and gave you a fresh perspective on how you can reclaim your time in a world that's constantly pulling you in different directions. You're juggling a lot. Homesteading, raising a family, keeping a home, these are big, meaningful things. You weren't meant to do them perfectly, you were meant to do them faithfully, through asking the Lord for help. So remember, you don't have to work harder, you just have to be more intentional with the time you already have.

In this special Thanksgiving episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, we gather around the hearth — the ancient symbol of warmth, nourishment, and connection — to explore gratitude, community, and the lessons we learn from the changing seasons. Whether your “hearth” is a wood stove, kitchen table, fire pit, or simply a calm moment at the end of a long day, this episode is about returning to what matters: Slowing down. Giving thanks. Growing gratitude. Building connection. Bring your coffee and coffee cake or donuts....let's chat as we learn, do, grow and be a little better everyday!

Do you have a long list of dreams—but no idea where to start?Parents often feel torn between wanting a meaningful, adventurous life…and the realities of raising kids, managing a home, and juggling responsibilities. How do you pick the right dream to pursue first—without sacrificing your marriage, health, or family?In today's conversation, Greg and Rachel break down the exact five-step process they've used for 20+ years to chase bold, meaningful goals while raising seven kids, traveling to over 60 countries, homeschooling, and building a business.You'll learn how to prioritize your dreams, avoid sacrifices that damage what matters most, and identify the “first step” that naturally unlocks momentum for every other goal.Whether you're overwhelmed by possibilities or unsure how to start, this episode will help you get clarity, build confidence, and make meaningful progress toward the life you actually want—one small step at a time.Key Takeaways✅ Write every dream down — clarity comes from seeing your full list on paper.✅ Follow your intuition and repeated nudges — they're often guideposts toward your best future.✅ Aim for alignment — choose the dream that makes the other dreams easier.✅ Consider urgency — some dreams (like traveling with kids) have a limited window.✅ Protect the core areas — never sacrifice marriage, parenting, health, or spirituality to chase a goal.✅ Morning routines fuel everything — they give you the energy, clarity, and stability to pursue big goals.✅ Forward motion reveals the path — obstacles show you where to start and what to fix first.✅ Dreams require identity growth — you become the person who can achieve the dream by pursuing it.MEMORABLE QUOTES

In today's episode, we talk about the mindset that actually makes farming, homesteading and livestock work sustainable. Not ease, not perfection — but gratitude, grit, and learning to find the good even when the hard days hit. I'm sharing two real-life stories from our ranch that shaped how I approach challenges, and practical ways you can apply this mindset on your own homestead. What You'll Learn Why gratitude is a daily management tool, not a once-a-year feeling How accepting “hard” as normal keeps you steady with livestock The value in finding the good inside messy or frustrating situations What a difficult kidding season taught me about leadership and problem-solving How a major off-grid setback revealed long-term clarity we wouldn't have gained otherwise Practical ways to build a resilient, realistic homesteading mindset Key Takeaways Gratitude keeps you grounded, especially when things go sideways Hard days aren't a sign you're failing — they're part of learning and building competence Finding the good in a situation helps you move forward instead of getting stuck Livestock and off-grid life will test you; mindset determines whether you burn out or grow Long-term sustainability depends more on steadiness than skill Related Episodes 02 | Overwhelmed? 4 Steps to Create a Practical Plan for adding Livestock to Your Homestead Successfully 15 | The Most Important Lesson We Learned Going Off-Grid, and How You Can Do the Same Thing to Simplify Your Off-Grid Plan 30 | Livestock Decision-Making: What to do When You Make a Wrong Decision and How to Use that Information to Make Progress 68 | New to Raising Livestock?

In today's Small Scale Life Live Stream and Podcast, I am going to discuss the Lessons from the Harvest for the 2025 Garden Season. Like the famous novel by Charles Dickens: "It was the best of times and it was the worst of times." Ok, that was pretty dramatic. We had a really great season for some vegetables, ginger and herbs,. At the same time, we had a tough time with other favorites like tomatoes and squash. What worked? What didn't work? What will we do n 2026? You can find out tonight on the Small Scale Life Live Stream and Podcast. We go LIVE at 7:00 PM Central. It is going to be fun!

Today's episode feels extra special — because I finally got to sit down in person with someone I've admired online for months: Mandy Webber of the Wildly Intentional Podcast. She drove from West Branch, Iowa, to my home office in Cascade, and what started as a podcast interview turned into a three-hour, soul-filling conversation about motherhood, homesteading, family culture, learning (and unlearning), running a business from your values, and choosing a life that's deeply rooted in intention. We recorded a double-pod, so you'll hear the Found-side of our interview today, and you can catch the second half over on Mandy's podcast, Wildly Intentional. If you don't know Mandy yet, you're in for a treat. She's a maverick mom of three, a homesteader, a maker, a family culture builder, and one of the most curious, energetic, truth-telling women I've met. Mandy helps people unlearn the noise of modern life and return to rhythms that actually matter — whether that's rethinking school at home, preserving 50 pounds of tomatoes, or bravely starting something from scratch. This conversation is honest, warm, hilarious, grounding, and full of gems you'll carry with you. Settle in. This one's good.

In this episode, Ste sits down with Justin Pettit, third-generation rancher and co-founder of Santa Carota Beef, the only ranch in America finishing their cattle on a diet of fresh, upcycled carrots. Justin shares how his family turned a drought and food waste problem into a revolutionary approach to ranching, producing some of the most nutrient-rich, flavorful, and sustainable beef in the country. From feeding up to a million pounds of carrots a day to serving the Wynn Las Vegas and Wolfgang Puck's restaurants, his story is one of grit, faith, and doing things differently. They unpack: The origin story of carrot-fed beef and how it all began on a California ranch What makes carrot-finished beef taste and feel different from grain-fed The real economics and politics of the American beef industry Why small ranchers are vital to the future of regenerative farming Lessons on family, purpose, and finding meaning in hard work This is a conversation for anyone who cares about real food, ethical ranching, and knowing the story behind what's on your plate.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince welcome Michelle McAninch of Tamarac Garden for a masterclass in practical homesteading and herbal medicine. Broadcasting from GART Cocoa Beach, the trio dives into the world of natural healing, from identifying wild herbs like yarrow and mullein to using everyday “weeds” as powerful remedies. Michelle shares stories of foraging in North Idaho, teaching “Eat Your Way Through the Forest” classes, and creating tinctures and teas for first aid, fever, and pain relief. The conversation expands to sustainable living, gardening in small spaces, raising chickens, freeze-drying eggs, and the surprising benefits of weeds most people spray to kill. They explore container gardening, aquaponics, and the importance of reconnecting to the land, even in suburban settings. With humor, hope, and real-life tips, this episode inspires listeners to reclaim self-reliance and rediscover the pharmacy growing right outside their doors.

Jase and Al reminisce about their family's brief history as teenage “runaways,” when no one bothered to send a search party—and how that hands-off parenting style turned out to be pretty effective. Guests Jeremy and Melissa Souza of Good Simple Living share how they built an off-grid homestead from scratch, raised their kids with purpose and grit, and found real community beyond the internet. The guys, Jeremy, and Melissa laugh about learning self-reliance the hard way, surviving on wit and curiosity long before homesteading was cool.

“Sometimes the most powerful conversations aren't about success — they're about what it costs to grow.”In today's episode, I sit down with Matthew Gauger, founder of Greenhorn Grove, a homesteader, husband, and father who's learning to build a life from the soil up — both literally and emotionally.Matthew opens up about his journey into homesteading, the hard lessons of self-reliance, and what it really means to live in alignment with your values. But this conversation also goes deeper — into the struggles within his marriage, the pressures of providing, and the courage it takes to face what's not working while still choosing growth.This isn't just a story about farming — it's a story about faith, honesty, and rebuilding. It's about what happens when the image of a perfect life gives way to something far more authentic.So settle in.

In this episode, we talk about what fall really means for us as homesteaders and why it's okay if we're not caught up on every project or learning a new skill right now. We compare fall to the luteal phase of a cycle—a time for reflection, slowing down, and preparing for the restful winter ahead. We also explore how winter mirrors the menstrual phase, reminding us that rest doesn't mean doing nothing—it's actually the perfect time to learn, dream, and rebuild our energy.   https://thehomesteadchallenge.com

Sometimes homesteading is idealized and you get stars in your eyes, thinking it'll be so perfect... until it's not. Aimee and John Willis of Vintage Meadows tell the story of how a health crisis made them pivot from their original life goals into homesteading. They bought 4 acres and gave it a go. Then they had to sell it all and start all over, and over, and over again. You might call it a failure, a pivot, or simply relatable – but whatever it is, it shows the resilience of two people who want to nurture themselves and their community well and who haven't thrown in the towel just yet.   Visit Aimee and John Willis' website: vintagemeadows.farm Follow the Wise Traditions on the podcast app of your choice or on Apple Podcasts Check out our sponsors: Optimal Carnivore and Sirius Nutrition
