Hannah Neeleman is a mumfluencer, a mother of eight children and has amassed a huge 10 million followers on Instagram who follow her literally churning butter and collecting eggs from her chickens. Seems wholesome right? Wrong (kinda).Her charges include competing in a beauty pageant just two weeks postpartum, pretending to be poor but owning a $30,000 stove and a birthday present which is the stuff of nightmares (but that was technically her husband's fault).

Today on the podcast I am excited to have Anna Sakawsky, creator of www.thehouseandhomestead.com as well as the editor of Homestead Living magazine. Anna and her family live in the middle of Vancouver Island and have maximized their homesteading space on a smallish piece of land and have made it their mission to inspire others to start homesteading right where they are and with whatever they have. Anna's passion for her family and the homesteading lifestyle they have created are infectious.   Make sure you check out the show notes at lakejoyfarmstead.com/podcast-anna SHOW NOTES What is Anna and families back story?

What would your 'elevator speech' sound like? What makes your homestead website and classes different from other homesteaders? What makes yours unique? What is it like in Canada/Vancouver Island specifically when homesteading? Weather? Landscape? Openness (or not) of community? How is this way of life being received there? You have a membership and courses. Tell us about them. What will we find? You had your own magazine. Tell us about that and what transitions have been made in that space.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, sot that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat. - T Roosevelt

The road that leads to Modern Homesteading is different for everyone. For some it is the answer to healing from a health crisis or diagnosis, for some, it's creating food security, for others, it's sustainability, and for others, it's answering a calling, something they're drawn to and for many of us, it's all of the above. Co-founders Melissa K. Norris and Katie Millhorn have been homesteading for decades, but even living rurally (where you'd expect to find other homesteaders), they didn't realize how isolated they were from others actually living this lifestyle. While you might meet other backyard vegetable gardeners or chicken keepers, it's rare to find someone who is also preserving their food, making as much as they can from scratch and understands the excellent benefits of pasture-raised protein, grows and creates their families herbal medicine to fellowship with let alone learn from. While homesteading is about sustainability, it's also about community, supporting one another, and learning from those who have gone before you. That's why we're inviting you to the first annual Modern Homesteading Conference, because we know how important it is to be in person, both for learning but also for your heart. Connect & learn more about the Modern Homesteading Conference:@modernhomesteadingconferencehttps://modernhomesteading.com/

Today's show is all about getting clear on what makes a homestead sovereign vs. a modern homestead vs. just a homestead. SPOILER ALERT: It's all about CHOICE. A well-designed homestead gives you more choice - more freedom to say NO to those things that are not in alignment with your highest quality of life, so that you can say yes to the things that are. We then go into the SAPA Framework for conducting your own sovereignty self-assessment for your life and landscape, applying it to all the basic survival needs: Water, Nutrition & Calories, Shelter, Physical Security, Hygiene & Sanitation, Health & Medical Care, Energy, Finances. Survey -  What your needs for BLANK? Where does your BLANK come from? Assess Who controls the source? Rank yourself in terms of Self-Reliance (time) vs. Self-Sufficiency (%) differences between the two Which are you trying to increase for each category? How well are they being met? Are these needs better met by moving the locus of production closer to you or further away? Prioritize Where would you feel the pinch first? Two ways to gauge this… If you had to stay home for 30 days, can't leave - what is the first thing that would run-out or malfunction? That source is gone - how long until you feel it? Does it threaten life or property? YES: This is a high priority. If so, how long until you would be forced to do something ill-advised under the circumstances to meet this need? NO: this is a facet of your current lifestyle that isn't essential to your survival, but its absence makes you less comfortable Act FOCUSING QUESTION: What's the one thing I can do, such that by doing it, will make everything else easier or unnecessary? Tailored: What's the one thing I can do for my [BASIC NEED] sovereignty, such that by doing it, will make further steps towards self-reliance or self-sufficiency for [BASIC NEED] easier or unnecessary? In short, applying the SAPA framework to all of your basic survival needs areas will help you identify the action steps with the greatest ROI that you can take today to move you and your family in the direction of resilience and greater time freedom.   Getting started designing your homestead? START HERE: Enroll in the Minimum Holistic Goal Creation Mini-Course today for free. This is the ONE THING that will make everything else easier or unnecessary on your homesteading journey! 100% Free Upon completing this course you will have a crystal clear idea of who and what resources you have to work with, your desired Quality of Life that your homestead has to provide for, and what you will need to produce and the conditions required to sustain that production to meet your Quality of Life needs.   Music by Alex Grohl

In this episode Erin shares about one of her favorite subjects-apothecary gardening.

Melissa K. Norris is a fifth-generation homesteader who believes in keeping the old ways alive and that food shouldn't come from a box. She lives on a 15-acre farm in Washington state with her husband and two children, and together they raise 100% of their own meat and a majority of the fruits and vegetables they consume in a year.  Melissa doubled-down on her homesteading journey after a chronic health issue caused her to look at the foods she was eating every day. She decided she could save money and be healthier if she grew and preserved her own food rather than purchasing pre-packaged food items. From this, she's built a homesteading empire, with a podcast, multiple books, and an online education platform with over a thousand members.  Melissa's passion is to teach others the skills of the homesteading and simple life movement, no matter where you live. In this conversation, we talk about the concept of convenience and how it is used against us - especially in the food industry - as well as small, attainable steps you can take to begin your homesteading journey.

When you think of homesteading, what comes to mind? Ma and Pa Ingles out on the prairie trying to build a home and raise a family with their own resources on a large plot of dusty land? Maybe you think of the early pictures of covered wagons crossing dangerous territories on their way to stake a claim out west. Yeah, me too! But, in reality, modern homesteading is nothing like that. Today, homesteading can happen just about anywhere. Because modern homesteading isn't about relying only on yourself. It's also about having a community and relying on resources close to home for the things you can't produce yourself. And that home can be anywhere – in the city or in the country. It's just a matter of taking the steps to figure out what you can reasonably provide for yourself and what you can glean locally to make yourself a bit more self-sufficient. Just because you live in a suburban neighborhood doesn't mean you can't hone many homesteading skills and become a homesteader. Homesteading in our modern, globally connected world doesn't mean all or nothing. So, if you've ever had the idea that you'd like to rely a little less on the outside world and a little more on your own backyard, today's episode is for you. Let's dig in. What am I listening to?

Homesteading can bring to mind images of pioneers trying to survive on the American frontier. But it's a lifestyle that hasn't disappeared from the Northwoods.

Is that actually dust and cobwebs on my microphone? I can't believe it has been well over a year since the last episode. Why Did The Modern Homesteading Podcast Stop? Covid I was still doing the podcast a few months into all the changes covid was bringing to the world in 2020 but as time went on it started to have a huge impact on my life as well. Work My job went into a shut down for several weeks but this wasn't the thing that had the biggest impact on the podcast. When I got back to work, however, things got a little crazy as we scrambled to make up for lost time. I started working very long days and extra days a week for months which left very little time for anything else. Wedding On top of the heavy work schedule we also found ourselves planning for my youngest daughters wedding in 2020. If anyone has ever married off a daughter you know the stress and preparation that can go into that. Ever see the movie "Father of the Bride" with Steve Martin? I can relate to it. Grandkids We found ourselves spending a lot of time with the grandkids as any grandparents would want to. Camping We bought a used camper parked in a seasonal lot in a nice local campground to have a little get away on a few weekends a year. It's a place where we can take the grandkids fishing and just sit around a campfire with friends to relax from time to time. Funeral In the last year I have lost my brother and my grandmother. Losing my brother was tough for a couple months and I was in charge of handling his memorial service. The hardest message I ever had to deliver. The Busyness of Life! All in All it was just a busy few months and it pulled me away from the podcast and even my homesteading pursuits for a while. The Homestead Continues To Slowly Transform The Food Forest I continued to very slowly work on the food forest I started the year before but didn't make a ton of progress. Started to build a few guilds around some of the trees planted there. Winter Aquaponics and Microgreens I did grow an abundance of food in my kitchen and office through the 2020/2021 winter by growing several trays of microgreens a week and even setting up an indoor aquaponics system which produced very well. A Long Road Ahead But It Will Be Worth It No doubt there were a few setbacks on my homesteading journey last year but we are pressing forward and made a few changes that are setting us in a direction we want to go. A New Website, a New Podcast and a Slightly New Direction Introducing Redemption Permaculture and the Redemption Permaculture Podcast Many of you may have noticed I made a change in websites. I shut down SmallTownHomestead.com and built a brand new website, RedemptionPermaculture.com This signifies the direction I'm taking my homestead and the focus of my journey. Permaculture has made the biggest impact in the way I homestead and I want that to be reflected in the branding of the website. But wait there's more! I Started the new website at the beginning of 2021 and have been busy writing over 100 information packed articles but a couple months ago I launched a brand new podcast that I haven't talked much about until now because I wanted to get a few episodes uploaded first. Introducing the Redemption Permaculture Podcast What I Will Be Talking About On Future Episodes of The New Podcast Modern Homesteading Through The Lens of Permaculture It will be a lot of the same but always with a permaculture twist.

This week was our county fair . And, for us, when it's fair time, nothing else matters..... And this year I was honored to be asked to speak once again on the topic of modern homesteading.  And so this week's episode is all about our time at the fair and includes the talk I gave. Because this was recorded at the fair, the audio isn't as good as it usually is, but my hope is that it still understandable.Enjoy!!Brian!!http://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/shophttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.nethttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttp://www.youtube.com/c/3BFarmandHomesteadhttps://www.facebook.com/3BFarmNY/https://www.instagram.com/thehomesteadjourneypodcast/?hl=enhttps://teespring.com/stores/thehomesteadjourneypodcastBrian@thehomesteadjourney.nanSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/the.hjp)

Gardening tips, tricks, and advice in short, bite-size episodes. In This Brief Bite: Greg invites Brian Wells, host of The Homestead Journey Podcast, to share with us how he defines what it means to be a homesteader. Brian describes homesteading as a lifestyle that has evolved into the modern era where its definition depends on the standpoint of where people live and what they do. He emphasizes that homesteading is not about the destination rather it is more about the journey, because a journey is never truly complete, it is continuously evolving.    Don't miss an episode!

Today we talk about what our ideas are when it comes to modern homesteading. We both love to garden and want to just share what it means to us. Being able to bring food from your land to your table connects you to the Earth and can be another way to practice self care. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We go to school. We get the job. Then comes the car and the apartment, and we have to work more. The clothes and the vacations come next, and we have to work more. At some point, you might thing "What am I doing? Do I really want this? How did I get here?" In this episode, I sit down with Bret James of High Sierra Permaculture as we talk about his transition from a Denver-based computer programmer to living off the grid on the north shore of Kauai to homesteading in the California Sierra Nevada mountains. We talk about: what is modern homesteading why was he drawn to leave "it" all behind how did he get started what did he learn along the way what is permaculture and how we can all bring this lifestyle into our day-to-day lives starting today. Bret want me to share with you the link to one of his great online courses he teaches on permaculture. I've taken the course and it is wonderful. You can also find Bret on Instagram or on his website. Wishing you love and light - Marla

Homesteading. It’s a term that’s associated with the expansion of the United States in the 1800’s but a new generation of self-reliant entrepreneurs has adopted the term and lifestyle and turned it into an attractive option for a broad number of people who are willing to work hard towards providing for themselves and their families.  With the current pandemic, it’s become increasingly apparent how reliant our society has become on outside food, resources, and essential items that we need and want everyday. It’s exposed weaknesses in our food and other supply chains that are ultimately felt on an individual level.  Today’s instructor, Anne Briggs of Anne of All Trades, has been working for years towards building a lifestyle of self-sufficiency and has a big head start on the rest of us. She started her own homestead in Seattle years ago and has recently moved to the Nashville area where she’s starting from scratch with a new homesteading project.  From gardening to raising livestock, woodworking to blacksmithing, Anne has learned on the fly with a fearless do-it-yourself attitude that has made her not only a successful homesteader, but also a social media sensation who shares her can-do attitude with her large following.  By the end of this class you’ll have an idea of what it takes to create your own homestead, how you can identify things around your yard that you could add to your diet, and how you can start with some small changes to create a more self-sufficient lifestyle.  Class is in session.  Gardening isn’t as hard as you think! Anne mentioned: Raised beds, hugelkultur and planting simple beds with wood chips as examples of easy gardening. Check out the tutorials on her site. Check out this app to identify plants: Picture This Can you afford to homestead? Anne makes sure every investment pays for itself. Some things she does to offset costs is participating in a heard-share, selling eggs and using social media for extra income. Have a tiny space? You can do so much with a balcony or window sill. Grow plants on your kitchen counter! Get involved in your local CSA’s, visit farmers markets and join your local homesteading and gardening groups on Facebook.

The goal for many women, especially homesteading women, is to become a full-time homesteading housewife, or homesteading homemaker. However, in this day and age many homesteading women do not have this opportunity. Instead you will find many of us balancing home, children, and property responsibilities with a full-time job. The dream to solely manage the property, family, and home is within reach. We as modern homesteading homemakers need to learn how to achieve this goal. How is it possible for us to do it all? Even I maintain a full time job while running the homestead. In this episode I'll talk to you about balancing career, family, and homestead responsibilities without feeling inadequate when we do not get ALL-THE-THINGS done. Make sure to read my article, The Homesteading Housewife. If this podcast resonates with you or someone you know, please share it. No-one should ever feel inadequate in the roles of being a homemaker.

I’m a 5th generation homestead and as a youngster I didn’t appreciate it. My dad lived through the Great Depression so if hey didn’t raise it they didn’t eat through the winter. I thought everyone grew up like that. With a garden preserving food raising beef cattle It wasn’t until I hit high school really, I didn’t realize I was an anomaly. When my husband and I got married, I was working 40 hours a week and we started our family and I was trying to balance family, and growing our food and all of that, and it has been a 20 year journey to get here. I feel like my husband grew up in a similar situation on a cattle ranch, growing a lot of their own food, baking their own breads and cookies. I feel blessed now to have all that insight as an adult it has served me well, but as a teenager I didn’t really appreciate it. My husband and I got married, had kids and I was working as a pharm -tech.  I loved the (https://amzn.to/2DxqJya) as a child, my mother instilled in me a deep love of reading. For us to have tv where we lived you had to go out in the snow and turn the antenna. So I read a lot. I wanted to write books, my lifelong dream was to write historical fiction. I was always writing about dutch oven cooking and barrel riding and all these things. I was at a writer’s conference and they said you had to have a platform with a blog etc. I was like what’s a blog? But I learned, we had dial-up internet. And I wrote this blog about things my heroine did that I was also doing. I thought well I cook in a dutch oven so I’ll share my favorite recipes and hopefully people who wanted to read that would read my books and I eventually got a literary agent, and wrote lots of manuscripts but none got accepted. But then the last publishing house said how would you like to write non-fiction, your blog is amazing. And I said YES! Yes, I will! We raise all of our own beef pork increasing a garden Both of my first books I was doing all of this. Just 2 years ago I was able to “retire” and stay home to focus on  writing podcasting e-courses pioneering today Academy  (https://melissaknorris.com/pioneering-today-academy-2/) And of course raise our own food!  Learning how to do all that while I was working was very  Powerful! because so many people are working and want this lifestyle and aren’t able to leave their regular jobs and I was able to say,  YES YOU CAN! This is what I did And how I can help you do it too! And you do! And you give away lots of free content, but then you also go way in-depth in your classes etc.  Being able to feed our family and grow our own food. My new book, (https://melissaknorris.com/familygardenplan/) often people see we raise fish, or hunt, and then grow 55-60% of our own fruits and vegetables. I have over 20 years doing it on my own plus another 18 years watching my parents.  Get info at  (https://melissaknorris.com/familygardenplan/) I have always raised enough green beens and we always had our own beef. Those were easy for me to see and start with. If your goal is to raise a years worth of food my #1 best advice is you pick one thing,  START WITH ONE THING If you want, you can do 1 fruit and 1 vegetable.

CLICK HERE TO BECOME A PIONEER FOR NEW LOW PRICE  Homesteading roots began with people trying to turn their life around  by making a profit. Signed into law in May 1862, the Homestead Act opened up settlement in the western United States, allowing any American, including freed slaves, to put in a claim for up to 160 free acres of federal land. Modern Homesteading is similar. Google pallet homestead projects and you will know, it's often people with little, that dream big. But dreaming and reality are 2 different things. Is it possible to run a profitable homestead? Let's see if our guest can help. GUEST INFO : Accountant Mike Mike currently works as a Senior Accountant at DiLeo & Charles. He has spent about a decade working providing accounting, tax, and consulting services to small business clients and high net worth families. He uses his extensive knowledge of tax and financial statements to help small business owners set and achieve business goals, both financial and otherwise. He currently specializes in strategic planning, income tax reduction, and cash flow management for small businesses. When he isn’t working Mike enjoys following Formula 1 and playing peek-a-boo with his infant daughter. What is a profit? Profit : a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something. 2 - advantage; benefit. TO BE PROFITABLE SOMETHING MUST PRODUCE MORE THAN IT CONSUMES A profitable garden produces more than it consumes. A profitable chicken produces more than it consumes. A profitable Homestead produces more than it consumes. To find out if we are running a profitable homestead we need to identify what is produced, what is consumed, and see if there is a gain in the difference. The 7 Costs Every Homestead Has to Cover Startup Costs - land, Infrastructure, fencing (Generally Amortized Costs) Running Costs - more than feed, Electricity, water, taxes on land, Surprise Costs - Vet bills, storm damage Finishing costs - butcher, packaging, storage TIME and Labor Opportunity Costs - time spent raising egg laying chickens could be spent driving for uber WASTE - Veggies grown not eaten, eggs go bad The PASTURED POULTRY PACKET is good at this. 3 Ways to Profit From Your Homestead Direct Products - lettuce, eggs, milk, cheese, REPLACING WHAT YOUR BUYING Indirect products - manure, land management, (BUT NOT UNLESS NEEDED, if you don’t NEED manure in your life it’s not brown gold) Sales - selling excess How much do you charge above your costs? Accountant Mike suggests a MINIMUM of 10%! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chatting today with the Liberty Hippie is one Harold Thornbro. Harold has been running the Modern Homesteading podcast for almost four years and has an incredible backlog of content which you can check out at The Small Town Homestead. (He also runs the Modern Homestead facebook group which runs some 21,000 deep!) We talk about how cancer at 39 gave Harold the push he needed to get back to doing things a little more naturally and how his homestead has grown over the past few years to include a wide variety of practices from permaculture to meat rabbits to a new foray into aquaponics.

One reason the idea of homesteading is so appealing to us is because we all instinctively know that we way we organize our work lives—and thus, our lifestyle as a whole—just doesn’t make sense.Why on earth would any of us want to give up the majority of the hours of the majority of the days of our lives to do something we don’t want to do, isolated from the people we care about? Who would agree to that?And yet that’s exactly what we do, because it’s what we’re told we have to do.Well, homesteading offers an alternative.In this installment of the podcast, I outline what I see as the 4 pillars of modern homesteading: working with the land, taking care of your own needs, and minimizing interactions with government and market forces – all while remaining where you live.Listen through the player at the top of the page, or subscribe to the show on iTunes.Dig the podcast?
