    Old Fashioned On Purpose

    Have you felt it? Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It’s a stirring… a longing… a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we’ve lost our way. We’ve traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We’ve swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We’ve given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We’ve sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.

    S13 E19: The Resistance, Mental Toughness, & Developing an Old-Fashioned Mindset Nov 27, 2023

    Here on the podcast we talk a lot about choosing an old-fashioned path. Sometimes that’s skills like cooking or gardening, but other times, it’s a definitive choice in how we choose to think and move through life. I believe one of the most powerful old-fashioned practices we can adopt is to push against the modern victim mindset.

    Today I’m thrilled to be joined by Mike Roberts of The Converse Cowboy. We’re diving deep into mental toughness, battling the resistance, and more in this philosophical episode!

    S12 E12: How to Feed Your Soil a Whole Food Diet Jun 19, 2023

    As hard as we try to avoid it, modern industrial thinking can easily creep into our homesteads. Take soil health for example. Have you ever walked through the garden store and wondered which of the isolated "ingredients" you should add to your garden to "fix it?" I have! But there's a better way.

    I'm joined by Aaron Elison of Redmond Agriculture in this episode. He helps us dismantle this reductionist mindset so we can take a "whole food" approach to caring for your garden. From Nature's Intelligence to a surprising way to remove toxins from your soil, this episode is full of nuggets!

    S12 E10: How to Fall in love with your Soil Jun 05, 2023

    I've steadily been falling in love with soil over the last few years as I've learned more about what's happening under our feet. There is SO much beauitful and fascinating complexity there.

    S12 E9: Take Your Chicken Keeping to the Next Level May 29, 2023

    We’ve talked about chickens a lot. By now, most of you have your coops and flocks, so it's time to take it to the next level.

    I'm joined by Dalia Monterroso, President of Chickenlandia, for this enlightening episode where we take a DEEP dive into the (fascinating!) history of chicken-keeping, how to work with HOAs, how to use the REST protocol for sick birds, how to determine if your hens are laying, and so much more.

    S12 E8: The Un-Formula for a Sustainable Homestead May 22, 2023

    One of the most common questions I get is "how do I design the perfect homestead layout?" The bad news? There isn't a one-size-fits-all formula. The good news? Once you understand a handful of concepts, you'll have the tools to know what your unique site needs to thrive.

    In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Angela Ferraro-Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead for this enlightening and inspiring conversation into permaculture, homestead design, and crafting a homestead that works FOR you instead of AGAINST you.

    S12 E7: A Year of No Garbage... (Really!) May 15, 2023

    What does trash have to do with homesteading? Well, everything. As we progress on our old-fashioned journeys, it quickly becomes apparent that everything is connected-- our food, our health, and our environments. And trash, specifically plastic, is a huge issue. However, once again, and old-fashioned mindset is the answer to this very modern problem.

    In this podcast episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by internationally published author and humorist Eve O. Schaub to discuss her new book, A Year of No Garbage. Not only does she make this topic entertaining, she makes it feel doable. You're going to enjoy this one.

    S12 E6: Forging a Connection with Wild Waters with Conor Sullivan May 08, 2023

    We talk a lot about connecting to nature here on the podcast, but it's usually through the lens of agriculture, cultivating, and farming.

    But that's just the beginning. Wildcrafting, hunting, and fishing connect us to the natural world in powerful way. I'm thrilled to be joined by author and angler, Conor Sullivan, in this podcast episode. We talk about the similarities between the ocean and the prairie, why fishing may just be your next old-fashioned adventure, how to start fishing as an adult (even if you've never done it before), and his best tried-and-true fish cooking tips.

    S12 E2: Love Your Place and It'll Love You Back Apr 10, 2023

    S11 E16: The Rise of The Farmfluencer Mar 13, 2023

    I've been sharing homesteading online since 2010, but lately, the online homestead world has started to feel different....
    If you spend much time surfing Instagram, you might think you need a historic white farmhouse, period-appropriate clothing, and a magazine-worthy kitchen to live this old-fashioned life. But is the rise of "farmfluencing" actually hurting the movement?
    How can we celebrate the beautiful while also embracing the ugly? We're diving into this sticky topic on today's episode!

    S11 E15: Building Old-Fashioned Community with Gary Chapman Mar 06, 2023

    It’s one of the most old-fashioned practices we can cultivate in our modern culture. And no, it’s not baking sourdough, or growing vegetables, or milking a cow… I’m talking about building community.
    So why is it so hard? And how can we navigate relationships in our ultra-polarized world?
    Dr. Gary Chapman, best-selling author of The 5 Love Languages, is joining us today to talk about building & mending community in a world that seems determined to keep us isolated.

    S11 E11: How to Find Nourishing Food WITHOUT a Farm w/ Liz Haselmayer Feb 06, 2023

    The Haselmayers--like most families--don't own a farm, but they've learned that doesn't mean they need to sacrifice nutrition. Join us as Liz and I share lots of practical insights into this timely topic.

    Join us as we walk through how we broke out of the limited mindset that told us we couldn't do this, what scared each of us the most (you may be surprised), and if all the experts are right that you can't be a rancher unless you're born or married into it.
    If you've ever had a dream that others tell you is impossible, there's good stuff in this episode for you.

    S11 E7: Thinking Outside the System with Matt Beaudreau Jan 09, 2023

    I'm thrilled to be talking with Matt Beaudreau today. And I think you'll love joining in our conversation about doing crazy things that society doesn't always agree with.
    Matt, a well-known speaker and co-creator of Apogee Strong, talks about how we all consistently seeing patterns in society over and over and naively thinking that, "okay, I'll take the next step, and that's where I will gain some element of control to be able to actually impact the situation."
    Matt breaks down how this thought process is all wrong, how he stepped out of that rut, and how we can too.

    S10 E14: Ingenious Chicken Keeping with Harvey Ussery Oct 24, 2022

    I'm thrilled that a bigger and better second edition of The Small Scale Poultry Flock has just been released, and the author, Harvey Ussery, is here today to share so much chicken knowledge!
    We talk about predators, gardens, weeds, cover crops, and lots more, and what all these things have to do with chickens. As well as why the best solutions to so many chicken problems--the natural ones that are cheap or free--aren't the ones you often hear about.

    Michael breaks down how our world has gotten more and more "comfortable" since the Industrial Revolution, why this isn't necessarily a good thing, and why more folks today need to do what homesteaders, as a natural inclination, tend to do... challenge themselves and lean into "hard."

    S10 E4: Pushing Back Against Consumer Culture with Shannon Hayes Aug 15, 2022

    Join in on my conversation with the author of Radical Homemakers and Redefining Rich as she breaks down the meaning of "homemaker" in ways you've never thought of.
    In today's episode, Shannon and I talk about how a true homemaker learns skills so she is free to live by the principles that are most important to her, all the while working through the important steps of renouncing, reclaiming, and rebuilding, and figuring out what these steps look like for her.
    Shannon and I talk about what it looks like to grapple with the macro issues and the micro issues, and in all that chaotic imperfection, to find happiness and redefine "wealth."

    S10 E3: Rethinking an Old-Fashioned Life with Rory Feek Aug 08, 2022

    Rory Feek joins me today to talk about why we think our current generation is the most depressed one that's ever lived and how we can slowly go about opting out of the systems, even without a detailed plan. We talk about how we can, one step at a time, become more autonomous and independent, while simultaneously investing more in the community.

    S10 E2: Free-Range Kids: How & Why with Lenore Skenazy Aug 01, 2022

    Today we have a fascinating guest, Lenore Skenazy, the author of the book Free-Range Kids andthe founder of a nonprofit that is making it easy, normal, and legal to give kids independence.
    We're diving into an intriguing topic of free-range kids and the impact it has on them when adults mitigate all risks. We'll talk about how as a society we got where we are, with parents afraid to let their kids play in the front yard or walk to the corner.

    S9 E12: Soda Fountains, Small Towns, and Life Lessons Jul 04, 2022

    In this episode we're chatting about what it feels like to allow ourselves to be fully seen, to be vulnerable and raw. And we're talking about life in small-town America... how moving to a place that needs you and your skills and your talents might be a great option for you.
    Let's break down the reasons you might wanna consider some of the off-the-beaten-path towns that don't check all the boxes but just might be a perfect backdrop for starting your own unconventional homestead. Because I think it's time to bring revival to small-town America, and maybe you and I are the ones who need to be taking action.

    S9 E11: When Homesteading Doesn't Fit Any of the Boxes Jun 27, 2022

    Today I’m talking with Allison Askew of Arrow J Beef Co., a first-generation rancher with a lot of irons in a lot of fires. She’s sharing her inspiring story of unconventional homesteading to encourage everyone who doesn’t feel like they fit in any one particular box. If you ever feel like you’re wearing too many hats to actually be good at any one thing, take heart. If you're overwhelmed, or tired of feeling like you're not understood by those around you, Allison has some words of wisdom just for you.

    S9 E6: Can You Grow Apples in the Arctic? May 23, 2022

    Today I'm talking with Bob Osborne, columnist on CBC radio, a Canadian farmer with more than 40 years of experience with all things apples, and the author of a brand new book, Hardy Apples.
    Bob and I chat about how to grow healthy apples (even in cold climates), talk about the Renaissance of apples, and discuss why there are thousands of different apples out there but only the standard five options available in the grocery store.
    And we may wind up gushing a little over all things apple crisp and apple cider.

    S8 E10: Magical Animal Fats with Michelle Visser Mar 21, 2022

    Join me as I sit down with one of my very favorite persons, Michelle Visser. Michelle's family raises pigs on their New England farm. (In fact, reach out to Michelle if you're looking for a great source of pasture-raised pork in the New Hampshire area.)
    Michelle is also a published author and my Marketing & Project Manager (pretty much one of my right hands on The Prairie Homestead team).
    Michelle and I get a little starry-eyed and do a deep dive into two good animal fats today. We break down the kinds of fat you can source from cows and pigs, why this fat is so good for us, why it ever got such a bad rap, how to render it, how to use each kind of fat, and where to get it if you're not a pig or cattle farmer yourself.

    S8 E9: Solving Sourdough: The Science Behind What Works with Karyn Newman Mar 14, 2022

    Today we're diving deep into the unseen world of sourdough microbes. Karyn Newman, author of the new book Sourdough by Science, personifies the many parts of our sourdough starters and explains the chemistry happening in our kitchens to help us make perfect sourdough loaves. Every time.
    Find out the best time to feed your starter, why the fridge is your starter's friend, and what character in your starter is the most important one (and how to care for it best).
    Even learn how to convert any traditional bread recipe to a sourdough one!
    I learned so much from this episode, even what I've been doing wrong when I try to use my fresh flour to make my sourdough bread and how to fix it. (I couldn't believe how simple this is!)
    About the author: Karyn Newman began her professional life in editing, then embarked on a career in the sciences after earning her PhD in cellular and molecular biology. And she also happens to love baking. She loves using her science background to help non-science folks understand the important details of making a perfect loaf of sourdough bread.

    S8 E8: Are Vegetables Bad for You? with Justin Rhodes Mar 07, 2022

    Today we're talking about meat in a way we haven't before here on the podcast. My good friend, Justin Rhodes, is sitting down with me to talk about his version of what some people might call the carnivore diet, or the zero carb diet. Basically, we're talking about what it looks like to eat an exclusively animal-based diet.
    We're debunking casseroles, joking about cabbage killers, talking about chickens as gardeners, and agreeing that neither of us are fans of tongue tacos.

    We’re diving into a topic we’ve never discussed here before, and I think you’re going to love the insight Stacy Lyn Harris brings to this “meaty” episode.

    We’re breaking down the numerous benefits to hunted meats, comparing grass-fed beef to wild meat, talking about how to hunt even if you don’t own land to hunt on, and even walking through exactly how to start if you’re new to hunting and how to prepare wild game versus domesticated meat.

    S8 E3: A Skeptic's Guide to Eating Offal with Ashleigh Vanhouten Jan 31, 2022

    A Skeptic's Guide to Eating Offal

    I have to confess. There I was, a homesteader who has been raising and butchering our meat for well over a decade, but I didn’t even know the proper way to pronounce “offal,” not alone how to process organ meats to make nutritional meals out of them.

    And I didn’t know if I wanted to know.

    Today I'm talking about the liver and the heart and lots of other good stuff with the author of It Takes Guts and Carnivore-ish and the host of Muscle Maven Radio. Trust me, you’ll see offal in a whole new way (and know how to pronounce it).

    S8 E2: What Stage of Homesteading are You In? Jan 24, 2022

    What Stage of Homesteading are You In?

    In today’s episode, we’re talking about a true light-bulb moment for me, when I realized that homesteading happens in distinct stages and I realized which stage we were in and why.

    We define the 3 stages and talk about what takes you in—and out—of each stage.

    This episode will challenge you to seriously challenge yourself with a palpable life plan, remind you of what genuinely brings satisfaction, and encourage you to truly look at where you're at and where you’re headed.

    S8 E1: What do Grassfed Milk & Meat REALLY Taste Like? Jan 17, 2022

    Greetings again my friends! While it was great to take some time off and enjoy the holidays with my family, I’m thrilled to kick off this new season of the podcast. While there has been a huge shift over the past few years toward grassfed products, some people find the taste of real foods somewhat shocking. The truth is, products like eggs, dairy, and beef can taste different than what most people are used to? Why is this? In today’s episode, we find out why what an animal eats effects the taste of the final product as well as how it looks. In addition, I discuss the nutrient difference between real food products and the grocery store imitations, as well as why it’s sometimes necessary to adjust our taste buds in order to get the food we really need.

    This episode is proudly sponsored by Genuine Beef Co. (https://genuinebeefco.com/) This dream has been 4 years in the making, but we are finally shipping our Wyoming-raised beef nationwide! It’s grass fed AND grass-finished, dry-aged to perfection, and vacuum-sealed in a USDA facility. We have 90/10 ground beef, roasts, steaks, and a variety of bundles.

    S7 E13: Systems, Groupthink, and Anarchy? Dec 13, 2021

    We made it! Yes my friends, we've made it to the end of another season, and what a season it has been. Throughout the past couple months, I've been discussing how to opt out of many of the systems that govern modern life. While I've enjoyed creating a new style of content and discussing new topics I've never talked about before, it has come with a fair share of criticism. In today's episode, I discuss some of the valid criticism I received over this season, why I object to "Groupthink", and why it's important to have disagreements and healthy discussion with people who don't share your point of view. In addition, find out why I think some systems aren't only valuable but essential for society to function. As always, thanks for joining me on the Old Fashioned on Purpose podcast. Enjoy your holiday season, and I look forward to what's coming in the new year!

    S7 E12: How to Switch Out Your Store-Bought Veggies for Homegrown Ones Dec 06, 2021

    While we've been discussing opting out of various systems throughout this entire season, most of our solutions have been to seek out things that aren't necessarily mainstream. However, there is one area of the food system that most of you have the opportunity to take ownership of in your own home. In today's episode, I'm joined by my friend Bailey Vantassel, a garden blogger and enthusiast from California. Together we start at the beginning, discussing how to determine what crops are suitable for you climate, how to analyze and amend your soil, what plants that will thrive in the shade, and so much more. We also discuss what makes a hero veggie, and reveal the key secret to making any garden successful. What is it? You'll have to listen to find out!

    S7 E10: How to Opt-Out of Toxic Mainstream Skincare Nov 22, 2021

    While opting out of chemical laden food seems like a no-brainer for everyone, there's another not-so-obvious industry that effects all of our daily lives.

    S7 E5: What an Impromptu 1500 Mile Road Trip Taught Me About Personal Responsibility Oct 19, 2021

    As I touched on in a previous episode, much of my evolution as a homesteader and as a person in general has revolved around saying 'NO' to traditional systems. However, a recent trip to Virginia forced me to confront another system that I'm not so fond of but have reluctantly accepted in the past: public transportation. Listen to today's episode to find out why I had so much anxiety over flying, how a cancelled flight led to a cross country road trip, and why (and how) Christian and I are opting out of public transportation. If you've ever felt the desire to ditch mass transportation, I'm certain this episode will resonate with you.

    S7 E4: What if You Couldn't Buy Food at the Grocery Store? Oct 11, 2021

    When it comes to homesteaders, in many ways we're natural born preppers. While we might not be preparing for the apocalypse, we're always focused on looking down the road to be ready for any situation. One particular situation that always comes up in my head is "What if you couldn't buy food at the grocery store?" In today's episode, I cover the three steps I'm taking to prepare my family for any food supply related issues. I also explain why it's important to focus on 'prepping' skills and tactics that also improve your life in the present instead of just preparing for some potential event that might never happen.

    S7 E3: Saying NO to These 4 Systems Changed My Life Forever Oct 04, 2021

    Society creates systems for us to live by far before we are ever conscious of what is going on. While some of these systems might help us, many of them can also harm us and prevent us from achieving greater things in life. In our pursuit of our homestead dreams, we inadvertently cast aside several of the most common and harmful societal constructs. In today's episode, I'm going to cover how opting out of financial, medical, educational, and agricultural systems have created freedom and ownership in our own lives. While being an entrepreneur might not be the thing for you, you're sure to learn many different ways in which opting out of systems can create freedom for you and your family.

    S7 E1: I Need to Get This Off My Chest (A Reintroduction of Sorts) Sep 21, 2021

    Hello again my friends! With so much going on in my personal life and business, I realized I was hitting a wall. After going and going non-stop, I found myself becoming resentful. No matter how much I fought it in my mind, everything around me was telling me I needed to take a break. The past month or so has made me realize that while homesteading is a major part of my life, by no means is it the only part of me. In the past I've been hesitant to speak on other topics, and in today's episode I'm going to explain why that's going to be changing, what to expect, and why sometimes it's important for all of us to take a step back and re-asses where our lives have been going. Join me as I reintroduce myself!

    S6 E10: Sorting Through SALT: How to Pick the Right Salt for Your Preservation Projects Aug 12, 2021

    It's that time again my friends. We've reached the end of another season. As I reflected on the different methods of food preservation we've covered over the past several weeks, I came to a surprising realization. There was one common thread between every preservation method. Can you guess what it is? Yes, that's right! Salt is the one constant for all your preservation needs. In today's episode, I cover the different types of salts, why salt can turn your food colors, and how the coarseness of the salt effects overall taste. I also share my favorite salt I literally use on everything. As this season comes to a close, this is a great time to talk about this wonderful ingredient that ties everything together.

    - Since salt is obviously one thing I can’t grow here on my Wyoming homestead, I always buy Redmonds in bulk. It never goes bad and I keep it in a bucket in my basement pantry. I have this bag (https://shop.redmond.life/products/real-salt-bulk-25-lb?_pos=3&_sid=68645354b&_ss=r) in there right now. Here's a blog post I wrote last year with more salt FAQS! https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2020/06/cooking-with-salt.html

    - This episode is brought to you by Redmond’s Real Salt, which is the #1 salt I use in all my homesteading cooking, canning, and fermentation. I have learned over the years that not all salt is created equal and having the good stuff really does make a difference in your culinary adventures. Redmond’s is the only salt mined in the good ol’ US of A. I love that it’s mined using sustainable practices AND contains 60+ trace minerals that not only make it incredibly good for you, but it tastes better too. Since I can’t grow salt myself (obviously) Right now, Redmond's is offering 15% off your entire order just for my podcast listeners.

    S5 E3: What's the Best Business for YOUR Homestead May 24, 2021

    If you're still with me at this point, my guess is that you've decided it's time to start a business. Congratulations, you've done it! While it's certainly an important step in the process, it's merely the first domino to fall.
    In today's episode, I'm here to explain the benefits and pitfalls of all of the various types of business opportunities that could be available to you. Whether it's selling farm products, running an online business, network marketing, dropshipping, and everything in between, the same basic principles still apply. No matter what, you need to know what you're selling, who you're selling to, and how you are going to let people know about your business.
    As long as you know what sets you apart and makes you better, it doesn't matter how competitive the space. Even if you aren't planning on starting a business at this point, I know you'll pull some incredible information out of this entire season.

    S4 E11: How to Cultivate Community You Can Depend On When Times Get Tough Apr 22, 2021

    3Although we've talked a lot of about forging our own path and carving out our own independence, community is an essential part of the human experience. Not only is it impossible for us to produce everything we need, sometimes we just flat out need help to get through a difficult time. Over the past couple years Christian and I have made it a point to invest deeper in our local community. While it hasn't always been the easiest, in today's episode I share with you some ways that you can start reaching out and building deeper connections with the people around you. After all, the only way to really lessen your dependence on the infrastructure at large is by building and cultivating local resources. Tune in today to find out how!

    S4 E9: Make Your Own Homestead Medicine (with Amy Fewell) Apr 15, 2021

    While modern medicine can provide tremendous benefits, it doesn't always provide the best or most helpful solution.

Amy is an author, entrepreneur, and the Founder of the Homesteaders of America organization. On today's episode, Amy covers the best herbs to start with, the benefits of fresh vs dried herbs, the most common uses of herbs, and even talks about ways to use herbs with livestock.

If you've ever wanted to lessen you reliance on modern medicine but never knew where to start, then this episode is for you!

    S4 E7: How to Stay Warm (and Cook!) When the Power Goes Out Apr 08, 2021

    This might sound obvious to say, but most of us never even think about heat until the power goes out. Feeling that winter cold starting to creep in can be a really unsettling feeling if your sole source of heat is from the power grid. Thankfully, there are ways to counteract this problem. In today's episode I'm diving into my favorite form of heat. I cover all the basics of wood heat, including how to choose a wood stove and the best types of wood to use. I also discuss an option that will both allow you to cook without electricity while also improving your general quality of life under normal circumstances.

    No matter if you're a new gardener or a seasoned veteran, I can guarantee you've struggled with figuring out how much to actually plant. How do I know? I struggled with this problem for years.

    S4 E2: How to Never Buy Meat at the Store Again Mar 22, 2021

    What if you could never buy meat at the grocery store again? When I ask that question, I don't mean that the grocery store stopped selling meat. I mean, what if you could create your own self-sustaining source of meat that continued to produce year-after-year? In today's episode, I take a deep dive on everything needed to get a better handle on your meat production and storage needs. This includes everything from selecting the correct freezer, the amount of land you'll need to raise meat, the different types of beef available, how much beef you'll need for your family, and so much more.

    Don't worry my friends, we're also going into what's required for raising chickens, pigs, and goats. I also touch on what you can do if you don't have the space or the time to raise your own meat. If you're ready to ditch the traditional grocery store meats, this is your episode!

    S4 E1: It's Time to Buck the System Mar 18, 2021

    Whether it's toilet paper flying off the shelves or a historic winter storm in Texas, the past year has taught me that the systems society has created for us don't always work as designed in times of need. While us homesteaders already act outside the system by being homesteaders in the first place, I'm dedicating this season to building systems that can contribute to ourselves and our communities when disasters strike. Listen today to find out why this has become even more important to me over the past several months and get a preview of some of the exciting topics soon to come!

Let me tell you, that couldn't be further from the truth. In today's episode, I'm going to cover how we've used businesses to fuel our growth as well as some of my biggest missteps along the way.

    S3 E11: How to Recover After a Major Garden Failure with Cris Daining Mar 01, 2021

    No matter how long you've been gardening, it's almost guaranteed that you've faced some type of epic failure with your garden. While it's easy to get down on yourself when you have a bad gardening season, I'm here to give you some encouragement to continue pushing forward. In today's episode, I'm joined by my right-hand woman Cris Daining. Cris and I have been working together for years, and she's the first person I always turn to with my garden questions. Together we discuss why it's important to not turn a garden failure into a personal problem, why great gardening takes time, how a garden journal helps you grow (literally and figuratively), and so much more. Cris and I are here to reassure you that it's OK to cry over a lost garden, but it's not OK to accept failure. Listen to today's episode to learn how to turn that tragedy into triumph!

    Concerned about preserving your garden bounty with the on-going canning lid shortage this year? I found the perfect solution!

    Harvest Guard canning lids are not only 100% reusable, they are a fraction of the price regular lids are selling for online at the moment. They are BPA-free, earth-friendly (since you don’t have to toss them in the trash after one use), and work GREAT!

    S3 E10: The Mysterious Winter Garden Feb 25, 2021

    Winter gardening. No, I haven't bumped my head, and Christian and I didn't decide to pick up and move south. As crazy as it might sound, your garden is still a valuable tool no matter how cold it gets in the winter. While you might not be able to grow crops, today I'm going to explain how you can utilize your garden as additional storage to help your harvest last. I also cover other ways to extend your garden into the winter months, such as cold frames, high and low tunnels, and greenhouses. While you might be dreaming of a root cellar to solve your storage needs, this episode will give you many practical tips to ensure you're able to get the most out of your harvest!

    Concerned about preserving your garden bounty with the on-going canning lid shortage this year? I found the perfect solution!

    S3 E9: But Wait! There's More (Planning a Fall Garden) Feb 22, 2021

    Summertime is a garden season, right? I don't know about you, but that's how I operated for the longest time. To be honest, I couldn't even conceive of being able to do anything in the garden after the August harvest. While you might not be able to plant a full garden in the fall, there are some amazing benefits to growing vegetables from September on into the early winter months. In today's episode, I cover the vegetables that thrive in the fall, when you need to plant your fall garden (hint: it's not in the fall), and cover crops that'll help your garden thrive in the future. If you've ever wondered how you could extend your gardening into colder months, this is the episode for you.

    S3 E3: Seed Shortages & Basement Seedlings... Feb 01, 2021

    With the events of the past year, there have been certain items that have become even more essential for everyday life. While things like toilet paper and hand sanitizer flew off the shelves, one unforeseen item sold out quicker than expected. Due to both higher demand and restrictions on production, seeds have been selling out way ahead of schedule. In today's episode, we dig into the process of planning, purchasing, and preparing your seeds for use in your garden. Learn the process of sprouting your seeds and why your garden zone influences everything, including both when and what you can plant.

    S3 E1: The Victory Garden is BACK Jan 25, 2021

    Welcome back, my friends! I can't begin to express how excited I am for what we're tackling in season three of the Old Fashioned on Purpose podcast. This past year was wild, to say the least. I don't know about you, but I certainly never could've imagined that food shortage could be a topic of conversation in 2020. Because of this, I'm dedicating this season to something that needs to be revived in this country: The Victory Garden. For those of you who've had a desire to start a garden of your own and didn't know where to start, then this season is specifically for you! Follow along as I dig into the process of planning and planting my own Victory Garden as we take another step toward using our homestead to offer support within the community.

    S2 E10: What the Future Holds Jan 07, 2021

    It's hard to believe it, but we've already reached the end of the "first" season. As we bring this season to a close, it's time to turn an eye to the future. In today's episode, I go over some of the plans (both big and small) that Christian and I have been discussing for quite some time. I'm really thrilled to share some of this with you as we're developing new businesses and shifting some of our focus to giving back to the community.

    S2 E9: Why the Heck Am I Doing This?? Jan 04, 2021

    Clarity is everything. In any area of life, gaining clarity on your goals and your vision is critical for success. This fact became even more apparent in my own life when it came time to write my cookbook. The entire process of writing my cookbook forced me to question everything about what I was currently doing in my life and where I wanted to go in the future. In the end, I came out with a book and a completely clear and focused vision for my future. Listen today to find out how you can find this clarity in aspects of your own life and how it can open the door to unexpected opportunities.

    S2 E8: Building a Parachute on the Way Down Dec 31, 2020

    While I'm a major advocate for setting goals and making plans to achieve them, sometimes there comes a time when you just have to jump. The truth is, if you're waiting for the perfect time to do something it's never going to come. As you've learned in my own story up to this point, I don't know if I've ever been "ready" to do much of anything in my life. Most of what I've done has simply been accomplished by following a passion and letting it guide me to where I need to be. On today's e[isode, find out why just going for it is always the best road to take and how you can gain the confidence to take a leap.

    S2 E7: Never Say Never... Dec 28, 2020

    For as long as I can remember, network marketing was almost an evil phrase in my vocabulary. I held these limiting beliefs about network marketing that no one actually succeeded with it and they mainly just tread water. Thankfully, the reality was far different than my misguided expectations. In today's episode, I dig into why network marketing not only gave me freedom and transformed my career but also changed my life. Listen to discover why you might have limiting beliefs in your own life and what you can start doing to eliminate them.

    S2 E6: The Messy, Mundane Middle Dec 24, 2020

    Beginnings are always fun. For most of us, the start of a story is always the most relatable. It defines the "humble beginnings" that most successful people have to overcome. The end is always great because finally, you've realized the merits of your hard work. It's the middle that no one really talks about. I'm talking about the grey area that occurs between the start and the end. It's the part where people think you're an "overnight success" because they don't see you putting in the day-to-day work. In today's episode, I start digging into the meat of what has really made Christian over the years. Learn how to start integrating small, daily steps to help you achieve your long-term goals.

    S2 E5: Birthing Babies & Blogs Dec 21, 2020

    Creation can come in all forms. For us, it seems they all happened at the same time. With animals giving birth on the homestead, me getting pregnant with our first daughter, and a new blog on the horizon, my attention was pulled in several different directions. Looking back now, while it was a hectic time it was one of the greatest periods of growth in my life. After all, the extra time I spent at home following my pregnancy is what ultimately inspired the blog. As they say, the rest is history. Listen today to find out how I was able to thrive during this busy time, and how you can do the same in your own life.

    S2 E4: The Impulse Buy of a Lifetime Dec 17, 2020

    My friends, we have arrived at my favorite portion of the entire story. Many people told Christian and I that our dreams were crazy. Looking back on it now, I can understand why some would have felt that way at the time. However, when we first bought our homestead there was no doubt in our minds that it was the right thing to do. We knew from the beginning that it was the vision we had for our lives and no matter what happened nothing was going to stop us from getting there. Listen today to hear why listening to your gut is always the best way to go and how doing so has landed Christian and I where we're at today.

    S2 E3: Despise Not Humble Beginnings Dec 14, 2020

    Change is funny. Sometimes it pushes you to grow, while other times it can set you back. When I made the move to college after being homeschooled my entire life, many people questioned if I was going to be able to deal with the changes that came with transitioning into college life. When you face a difficult situation, it's easy to believe that you aren't able to accomplish something because of your past. On today's episode you'll learn why that's not the case, and I explain how Christian and I were able to build from essentially nothing to the everything you see today. Listen to find out why your humble beginnings can actually be your greatest asset.

    S2 E2: 1200 Miles Away from Everything Dec 10, 2020

    At the age of 14, I got my first horse. For a shy little homeschool girl, this wound up being a huge boost to my confidence and completely shifted my identity. In the years that followed, I joined 4-H, worked in the stalls, and eventually went to college to ride horses. What did I learn through all of this? Even if you're unable to live your dream right now, there are always ways to get close to it and prepare yourself for what's to come. Listen to find out how I got my first real mentor when I first got my horse.

    S2 E1: Who Were You Before Life Told You Otherwise? Dec 07, 2020

    After a short break to regroup, I’m thrilled to be back recording podcasts. While I loved recording the individual episodes, it’s time to make a change. Instead of recording single episodes on a topic, I’m going to be dedicating an entire season to a specific theme. Together we’ll take deep dives that build a broader depth of knowledge and allow you to take action on the things that matter. In this first season, I’m taking it back to the beginning. We’re tapping into the ORIGINS of my life and how I’ve arrived at this point in time. So how did I get here? Who was I before I became the person that you know today? Today we begin that journey.

    170. Why This Homesteader Finally Started Working Out... Oct 19, 2020

    For quite some time, I felt with the physical work I did on the homestead, I didn’t need to set aside extra time to workout. I thought the shoveling, the pitchforking, and the day-to-day activity was enough. However, as I’ve got older and my metabolism has shifted my attitude has changed. While I’ll never be one of the workout warriors you see on Instagram, I’ve realized that making the extra time to workout is not only important, but it’s essential for my long-term health and well-being. In today’s episode, I explain how I got started, why working out doesn’t have to be intimidating, and how it’s already helped me in a very short time. If you’ve ever been interested in working out, find out why I changed my mind and how easy it is to get started!

    169. Doing This Gave Me 10 More Hours of Homestead Time Each Week Oct 15, 2020

    Recently I’ve noticed that something has been taking up more-and-more of my time, seemingly with each passing day. Any guesses on what that might be? (Hint: it has nothing to do with homesteading). Yes, that’s right my friends, I’m talking about social media. Whether it’s been filling time while waiting for food to cook or mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, I realized that I’ve literally been wasting hours of every single day using my phone as a distraction.

    166. The Snow Killed My Garden, So I'm Planting This Instead Oct 05, 2020

    To say the least, our recent snowstorm was completely unexpected. Unfortunately, the snow and the cold completely destroyed my garden. Unlike years past, this time I decided to plant a fall garden. In today’s episode, I discuss how I cleaned up my garden, what I planted for the fall, why I’m planting cover crops now, and what I’m doing with our brand new greenhouse. Overall, this is an entirely new experiment for me, so it’s going to be interesting to see if I have any success come winter. Are you planting a fall garden this year? If so, make sure you let me know what you're planting!

    165. How to Prepare your Homestead to go from Summer to Winter in 24 Hours Oct 01, 2020

    No, my friends, the title of this episode is not a mistake. Recently we experienced a weather swing so severe most people would think that I completely made it up. What we went through was a 65-degree drop in just 24 hours! Trust me, that is not a typo. In today’s episode, I detail how we prepped for the oncoming snowstorm. This includes pulling crops, covering plants, taking down some structures, and more. While most of you will never have to deal with such an extreme shift in weather, this episode is sure to help when it comes time to transition seasons.

    164. It Took 10 Years, But We Finally Have a Greenhouse! Sep 28, 2020

    While it seemed like this day would never happen, we finally have a greenhouse on the homestead. Why did it take so long? Truthfully, we didn’t make it a priority and we somewhat suffered from “paralysis by analysis.” In today’s episode I explain how to determine which greenhouse is right for your climate, why there’s no one size fits all solution, and my long-term plans for making the most of the greenhouse. If you’re ready to extend your growing season year-around no matter your climate, this episode is for you!

    162. How I use a Planner to Simplify Homesteading Sep 21, 2020

    One of the most common questions I receive on a weekly basis is “how do you get it all done?” First off, let me reiterate that no matter what social media might have you believe, I don’t have it all figured out. What I have figured out is that writing things down greatly helps me with recalling information. For this reason, I lean heavily on paper planners to keep me on track with goals and projects. Listen today to find out how I use my planner along with time-blocking, food prep, and to-do lists to maximize my time and efficiency throughout the week. Also, be sure to listen all the way to the end for a very special surprise for my homestead planners!

    161. Homemade Kraut & Fizzy Pickles: How to Make Your Own Probiotics Sep 17, 2020

    Look, I get it. Sauerkraut isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind when dreaming of your ideal homestead kitchen. In fact, I went years swearing off sauerkraut. It wasn’t until I made it myself that I actually enjoyed eating it. In today’s episode, I explain why the change happened, how to make your own sauerkraut, and dive into the incredible benefits of kraut and other fermented foods. While I’ve touched on fermented foods in the past, this is a special episode dedicated to fermented foods and the incredible probiotics they contain.

    While gardening season is coming to a close for most of us, there are a few important things to do as we head into cooler weather. First of all, congratulate yourself!

    157. How to Maximize your Micro-Harvests Sep 03, 2020

    While bringing in a giant basket of your favorite vegetable might be every homesteaders dream, for most of us it’s never the reality.

From pickling to stir-fry to soup, the options for maximizing your micro-harvests are endless. What are some of your favorite tricks?

    155. What a (Sorta) Typical Day in My Life Looks Like Aug 27, 2020

    While I’d like to tell you that I have a special schedule I follow every day, it’s simply not the case. In what might come as a surprise to some of you, there are even some days when I’m not doing anything that most would constitute traditional homestead activities. In today’s episode, I’m going to explain how I go through planning on a weekly and daily basis to ensure everything gets done. I discuss why planning everything minute-by-minute is sure to lead to failure, why getting your kids involved in chores benefit everyone, and how to fit in time for passions that fill you up. This has always been one of my most requested topics, so I know almost all you will gain some valuable information from today’s show.

    152. Thoughts from a County Fair Aug 17, 2020

    County fairs across the country have been canceled. Thankfully here in Wyoming, we were still able to participate in this great tradition. If you’ve never been to a county fair, it’s effectively a lot of sitting around mixed with moments of controlled chaos. Why do we do it? That’s the question we get asked most frequently by friends and neighbors. With the significant amount of time and effort required to move our entire life to the fairgrounds for a week, on the surface it wouldn’t seem to make much sense. However, the true gift of the fair and the homestead, in general, is the independence it teaches our children. It fosters curiosity and accelerates their growth as children and sticks with them well into adulthood. Listen today to find out why everyone in your family will greatly benefit from the county fair.

    151. This is Your Year for a Fall Garden! Aug 13, 2020

    A fall garden can be an incredible way to extend your growing season and add extra food reserves for the long winter. However, for quite some time I held the belief that a fall garden was something you started in the fall. While I’d like to say I learned my lesson after missing it the first time, this definitely wasn’t the case. In today’s episode I explain how to determine when you start planting your fall garden, when to harvest, and what types of foods will grow in your climate at this time of year. If you’re like me and looking to squeeze every last drop from your garden this year this is the episode for you.

    149. My 4 Favorite Ways to Preserve the Harvest Aug 06, 2020

    While my garden is in a bit of a lull at the moment, I know in the back of my mind that harvest time is just around the corner. Perhaps this year more than ever, I’m focused on preserving everything I possibly can. In today’s episode, I cover the four primary methods that I use to make sure our family takes full advantage of our harvest: canning, freezing, dehydrating, and fermenting. Discover why a method of preservation could be great for one type of food but not good for another. I also reveal my all-time favorite way to store foods for the winter (hint: this should be pretty easy to guess for my long time listeners).

    146. How to Eliminate Project Overwhelm Once and for All Jul 27, 2020

    For any new homesteader, the mountain of tasks and to-do's can seem overwhelming. Even a more experienced homesteader such as myself tend to have several projects in motion at once and about a hundred others waiting to be started. While it'd be great to snap our fingers and have everything done at once, that's simply not realistic. On today's episode, I'm joined by my sister Jenna as she continues to build her homestead. We break down her goals, talk through short term and long term plans, and discuss how to chunk down goals into actionable steps. If you've ever found yourself stuck and not accomplishing those lofty goals you set for your homestead, this episode is the perfect guide to jumpstart your productivity.

    145. Why We Built a Circus Tent Over Our Garden Jul 23, 2020

    Hail is easily one of the biggest enemies that exist on our homestead. As some of you might know, last year a hail storm destroyed one of my gardens (and our trampoline). While there are many different solutions to this problem, we had to be mindful of not only the hail but also the extremely high winds that occur in this part of the country. Because of this, we knew we needed a heavy-duty, permanent structure, and not some of the lesser solutions that might be fine in other regions. Listen today to find out how Christian and I put together our hail defense unit, and how you can prepare yourself if hail is an issue in your area.

    143. Setting Goals & Chasing Dreams: How Big is Too Big?? Jul 16, 2020

    Dreams. Everyone has them, but not everyone achieves them. Why is that true? Believe it or not, a large number of people never even voice their dreams let alone create an actual plan to accomplish them. On today's episode, I'm once again joined by my sister Jenna. As she continues on her homesteading journey, we begin discussing Jenna's big goal for what's left of 2020 and the objectives she can hit to prepare herself for succes in 2021.

    142. I'm Growing Something New in my Kitchen: Kefir! Jul 13, 2020

    While kefir might be the newest addition to the long list of things growing in my kitchen, it most definitely isn't new to my life. After taking a round of anti-biotics, I took to kefir to help repair the baceria in my gut. Upon discovering some of the incredible benefits of this tasty beverage, I started digging a little deeper. Incredibly I found out that keifer can be used to make cheese culture! While this might not be a huge deal for you, all my cheesemakers will soon discover why kefir is a true gift. On today's episode, I walk you through my own process of making kefir as well as share many of the other great uses of this product.

    140. How to Raise Your Own Freezer Beef Jul 06, 2020

    Raising beef can seem like a difficult and daunting task on the surface, but suprisingly it's one of the easiest methods of producing food on the homestead. While we've had issues in the past with other food sources, that's never been the case with beef. In today's episode I cover the essentials you'll need to begin growing beef of your own. Learn about the different fencing options, the differences bewtween heifers and steers, how to determine the type of animal you need, and so much more. Also, if you happen to be one of those individuals that simply don't have the space to grow your own beef don't fret. There's still a number of ways you can get into the beef game and stop relying on the mass producers. If you've ever thought of raising your own beef, this is a podcast you won't want to miss.

    139. Starting a Homestead From-Scratch: Unexpected Side Effects of Buying Your First Property Jul 02, 2020

    Starting a homestead can be a daunting task. It can be even more overwhelming when you compare yourself to a seasoned homesteader such as myself. While "how do I start a homestead?" is one of the most common questions I receive, after living the homestead life for almost 12 years I'm a little disconnected from the startup portion of the journey. Today I'm happy to announce that my sister Jenna has come to save the day. Recent life changes have driven her and her husband to buy a 10 acre property and begin their own homesteading journey. Join us as we chronicle the building of Jenna's homestead from the ground up. Today's focus is on the feeling of becoming a first time homesteader. Jenna realling the moment she realized the whole thing is real was a magical experience. If you've wanted to start a homestead but had no idea where to start, start here!

    133. Salt: The Unsung Hero of Your Homestead Kitchen (with Darryl Bosshardt of Remond's Real Salt) Jun 15, 2020

    Today I’m thrilled to be joined by Darryl Bosshardt of Redmond’s Real Salt. Darryl is a true salt expert. His grandparents founded Redmond's 60 years ago and they have been my salt of choice for as long as I can remember. As we discuss today, salt is an essential mineral for our daily lives, but it’s often misunderstood and sometimes carries a negative connotation. Darryl provides an advanced course in everything related to salt as we talk about the harmful use of dextrose, why sea salt isn’t always better, and how to identify the best sources of salts. We also dive deep into why various types of salt have different colors, how this can affect the flavor, and how it should be used. The incredible thing is what I just wrote barely scratches the surface of Darryl’s expertise. Tune in today and be ready to take notes!

    132. Why We Bought a Milk Machine After a Decade of Hand-Milking Jun 12, 2020

    After being hardcore proponents of hand milking for a decade, we finally made the decision to cave in and buy a milk machine. So why is now the time to make a change? As I’ve mentioned in recent episodes, we’ve committed to becoming producers for our community. Simply put, in order to be able to produce milk in large quantities, it was no longer viable to milk by hand. While I did have some reservations at first, I soon found out the time saved greatly outweighed any cost or additional clean up that came with the milk machine. If you’re thinking about getting into home dairy yourself, listen to find out if and when a milk machine is right for you.

    130. What We Did Differently for Our Best Meat Chickens Ever Jun 08, 2020

    To put it lightly, this year has been one of revelations on our homestead. As I’ve discussed in previous episodes, our goal to become producers for our community has necessitated some changes. We’ve raised meat birds for almost five years now, but as you’ll find out today virtually nothing is the same from when we first started. Listen to find out why we ditched the chicken coups, how we sped up our plucking process, and discover the best $200 I’ve ever spent in my adult life.

    129. How to Put a Instant Pot to Work in your Homestead Kitchen Jun 05, 2020

    If you’ve watched any of my videos or have seen any pictures on my social media, it’s pretty easy to tell that I’m not a gadget girl when it comes to the kitchen. I must say that this does come with one key exception; the instant pot. Being the control freak that I am, I understand there is a bit of irony in me using an appliance I’m not supposed to touch. On today’s episode, find out why the instant pot is the best way to make farm fresh hard boiled eggs, bone broth, beans, rice quinoa, and more. Tune in to find out why this is one of the few gadgets I use in my kitchen and how it’s made certain aspects of my cooking a breeze. Purchase an instant pot HERE.

    128. The Emotional Side of Raising Your Own Meat Jun 03, 2020

    I don’t believe it’s any secret by now; we like to raise our own meat. More than any part of the process, people question how we handle the butchering of animals. While it isn’t always easy, I’ve come to recognize that butchering animals ourselves has only helped us to gain an even greater appreciation for the meat the we raise for ourselves and our community. While some might find it inhumane or even try to convince us to go vegan, most would be surprised to know animals raised on the homestead tend to live vastly better lives than their industrial counterparts. On today’s episode, I explain when and how we get our kids involved in the process, why I believe every meat eater should experience butchering once, and how we honor our animals in both life and death.

    127. The 7 Lessons a Homestead will Teach Your Kids Jun 01, 2020

    Homesteading with kids isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re up for the challenge it will certainly make an incredible impact on their lives. I know with our kids, life on the homestead has taught them the value of hard work, how to establish boundaries, and how to be creative. More than anything, perhaps the most valuable lessons kids can learn is learning how to fail. If you’v ever doubted your decision to raise your kids on the homestead, I encourage you to listen to this episode. It’s sure to erase that doubt and help you understand why raising a prairie kid (as I like to call mine) is one of the best gifts you could ever give them.

    125. Why Your Grassfed or Pastured Meats are Tough May 27, 2020

    For many different reasons, grassfed meats are all the rage at the moment. While the incredible benefits are obvious, there seems to be one issue most people run into when preparing grassfed meats; if you’re not careful it can become extremely tough. Don’t fret my friends, this simply means that grassfed meats tend to be much leaner due to more time in the pasture. Listen today to learn best practices for defrosting, how to to season a good steak, how to use your grill and oven to cook a perfect steak, the art of the sear, and everything in between. Beyond cooking tips, I explain why grassfed meats tend to cost more than grain finished products and why the method of finishing the meat can dramatically change the taste. This episode is a must listen if you’ve ever had any interest in grassfed meat!

    123. What to do When Your Friends & Family Don't Like Homesteading May 22, 2020

    No matter how excited you might be about your homesteading venture, I can guarantee you not everyone around you shares this same excitement. How do I know? I’ve been there myself. Sharing your passion with loved ones only to get instantly shot down is one of the most discouraging things that could ever happen. The truth of the matter is when you do anything that is as far out of the norm as homesteading, you’re bound to get pushback from friends and family alike. On today’s episode, I explain how I’ve dealt with this issue and how you can do the same. What’s great about this topic is that this advice will benefit you in any sort of “weird” adventure you choose to take in life.

    122. Why We Milk a Cow & Drink Raw Milk May 20, 2020

    Even amongst the homestead community, raw milk isn’t necessarily a common topic of conversation. Maybe it’s a product of our current situation, but in our household we can’t get enough raw milk at the moment. For the completely uninformed, raw milk is simply unpasteurized milk. On today’s episode, I go well beyond the unpasteurized label and explain the phenomenal benefits of raw milk, including how it’s made, the incredible taste, and the wonderful cream. While I cover the amazing benefits of raw milk, it’s also important to inform you of some potential risks that do exists and the steps you can take to mitigate them. Most important, I explain how and where you can find raw milk where you live. Tune in today to jumpstart your education on evrything raw milk.

    121. 9 Things Your Non-Homesteading Friends Don't Understand May 18, 2020

    It’s no secret. The vast majority of the world considers us homesteaders to be a bit of an odd bunch. If we’re being honest with ourselves, what we do on a daily basis is certainly abnormal in modern society. Even my non-homesteading friends have a major misconception when it comes to why we actually do what we do. I must admit, it certainly would be much easier to go to the store and buy a gallon of milk than it is to own your own milk cow. It would also be much easier to grab a cheap loaf of bread than make fresh sourdough from scratch. If we’ve learned anything over the years, easier is not always better and it’s a concept that some people will never understand. Tune in today to see why shoveling manure is cathartic, why dirt under my nails is a badge of honor, and why the best time to mow the lawn is when you’re mad.

    120. Why Small Businesses Matter More Than Ever Before May 15, 2020

    With the widespread quarantines across the country, we’ve witnessed disruption in nearly every single industry. Perhaps has this been most apparent within the food supply chain. Isn’t it incredible that we’re seeing both food shortages in areas at the same time farmers are dumping out excess crops? It seems what we’re feeling at the moment are some of the repercussions of a shift away from small businesses over the last 10-20 years. Today I’m going to dive into why I’m choosing to take the hard road in this chaotic time and make a commitment to support our small businesses. Listen today to discover how you can take steps immediately to start supporting small businesses without ever leaving your home.

    119. Why We Only Eat Grassfed Beef May 13, 2020

    Even prior to our current situation, there has been an explosion of interest in local food production. While we’ve always produced food for our own use, it wasn’t until this year that we chose to start producing for our community. For our family, grassfed beef was an obvious place to start. On today’s episode, I begin from the ground up with everything about grassfed beef. Learn why every calf is typically grass fed but not always grass finished. Discover the health benefits of grassfed beef, why the government can effect the taste of your food, and why your gut will appreciate grassfed animals. If you're unsure of what exactly constitutes something as grassfed and what the true benefits are, this episode is sure to open your eyes.

    116. How We're Using Chicken Power on the Homestead This Year May 06, 2020

    Just a few weeks ago, I made mention of our mission to increase our food production this year. While I’ve already covered several topics regarding food production, chicken power is one we’ve never really utilized. While this might be a foreign concept to some, it’s truly incredible how useful (and even entertaining) chickens can be on the homestead. From disposing of food waste to pecking compost and even tilling sod, listen today to discover how these little birds are so much more than just efficient egg layers.

    115. How We Breed & Calve Our Milk Cows May 04, 2020

I cover topics such as artificial insemination, when and how to begin the milking process, and how to ensure you wind up with heifers. Listen to find out how were dealing with our new calves and discover why beef bulls can be used for breeding purposes, but it’s not the ideal solution in the long-term.

    114. Cold Frames, Greenhouses, High Tunnels...Which Do You Choose? May 01, 2020

    After nearly 10 years of talking about it, we’re finally taking the plunge. As discussed in previous episodes about increasing food production, now is the time to put a greenhouse on our homestead.

Whether it’s a cold frame, a greenhouse, a low tunnel, or a high tunnel, today’s discussion will help you determine what option is the best for you and your climate.

    If there’s one positive to come out of our current situation, it’s the incredible surge of interest in gardening. Now more than ever, people are realizing the importance of growing and producing their own food.

    112. When Homesteading Kicks You in the Gut Apr 27, 2020

    While most parts of homesteading are extremely fun and rewarding, it’s not all sunshine and roses. Sometimes I make mistakes. Sometimes Christian and I face serious challenges that simply aren’t pleasant to deal with. If you’ve been listening to the podcast or reading the blog over the past couple months, you’d know that we’ve been working on breeding goats. When my daughter Mesa went to check on the goats this week, she discovered something tragic. It turns out our goat had given birth to triplets, but all three had passed away. Listen to find out how we’ve been dealing with this horrible situation and how we’re going to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future.

    110. How I'm Surviving Quarantine Apr 22, 2020

    It’s a rather interesting time to be alive, isn’t it? Even though I tend to spend a lot of time at home under normal circumstances, the current state of the world has made it even more extreme. Even though I haven’t been going anywhere, it feels like I have even less time than ever before. Are you feeling that way as well? After getting too caught up in things I have no control over, I knew it was time to refocus and make a change. Now I’m focusing on distancing myself from the devices and honing in on more productive activities like reading, cleaning, and tending to our calves. If you’ve been feeling off because of everything going on in the world, tune in today to refocus and find clarity to push forward through these trying time.

    107. Flour Shortages, Grain Mills, & Whole Wheat Apr 15, 2020

    Have you ever discovered a forgotten piece of equipment at just the right time? With the madness going on at the grocery, I stumbled upon an old dusty grain mill.

If you’ve never used a grain mill and you find yourself running out of flour, this episode will help you find several options to fortify your wheat supply. You’ll learn about the different types of grain mills, where to buy wheat berries, how to lengthen the life of your flour, when you can (and can’t) use whole wheat flour, and so much more.

    106. You're Not a Homesteader if You Have a Microwave Apr 13, 2020

    What is and isn’t a homesteader? If you’re anything like me, this question has weighed on your mind at one point or another. To be honest, the deeper I dove into this topic, I quickly realized how difficult it is to define what homesteading is. I’ve come to find that homesteading is less about certain behaviors or checking off certain boxes and more about living by a mindset and a lifestyle. Listen today to find out what that is.

    During uncertain times, basic survival needs like food security become a topic of daily discussion. While I realize homesteading is essentially preparing us for times like these, not everyone that listens to this podcast are on a homestead.

    Lately it seems Christian and I have been talking a lot about our dreams for the homestead. More than anything, we’ve realized we share a strong desire to increase our food production this year. Listen today as we take our vision well beyond just adding more chickens and cows. We’re taking steps to further protect our crops from hail and other natural elements to preserve our final yield.

    88. Is It More Noble to Be a Broke Homesteader? Feb 28, 2020

    I’m not going to lie. This episode is likely to ruffle some feathers. However, this is a topic that’s been weighing on my mind for quite some time. On various videos or social media posts, I’ve received a number of questions about how Christian and I have been able to afford our homestead. Many assume we come from a wealthy background, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m here to explain how we found a small property, got out of debt, worked odd jobs, and built our homestead overtime. Let me tell you, it’s incredible how creative you can get when you want it bad enough.

    87. The Scoop on Horses for Your Homestead Feb 26, 2020

    If you’ve been listening or following me for a while, you’d know that it was horses that actually spurred my initial interest in homesteading. While most people wouldn’t consider a horse as a traditional ‘homestead’ animal, I’ve found that they hold a very special place in our daily lives. On today’s episode, I explain how to make sure you’re getting the right type of horse for you and your family. More important, I explain why a horse is NOT your dog.

    86. How I "Do It All" Feb 24, 2020

    Thanks to social media, I might appear to be some type of super woman. The truth of the matter is, Instagram and Facebook posts never tell the full story no matter how transparent I try to be. I’m able to “Do It All” because I’ve become extremely efficient with time management and have realized that I simply can’t do it all. On today’s episode, I explain how things like finding help, saying no, and blocking time have enabled me to not only become super productive, but also free up more time in order to pursue other things that fill me up.

    71. Homesteading with Kids: How We Do It Jan 20, 2020

    While I thought that some people might question how we pull off homesteading with kids, it turns out this is one of the most-asked questions among listeners. The truth is, it has everything to do with our parenting style. While I’m sure there are people who will disagree with some of our ideals, this is just me explaining what works for our family on the homestead. It’s not perfect by any means, but our ultimate focus is to get our kids comfortable with being uncomfortable, teach them how to deal with challenges, let them learn how to entertain themselves, and so much more.

    70. Are the Old Ways Gone Forever? Jan 17, 2020

    With the rapid evolution of technology and modern conveniences in our society, it’s easy to ask if the old ways are falling to the wayside. While it’s true that some things are bound to disappear, it’s also true that from the hustle of New York City to the calm of the Wyoming countryside, more-and-more people are discovering homesteading each and every day. It might not be a full-on homestead as you and I know it to be, but people are growing their own food and raising animals despite their location and climate restrictions. Even with the growth of society at large, today I discuss why I don’t see the old ways disappearing anytime soon.

    69. Your First Cast Iron Pan- What You Need to Know Jan 15, 2020

Today we cover the difference between standard cast iron, enamel coated cast-iron, when you should and shouldn’t season your pan, what to do with a pre-seasoned pan, some brands to check out, and so much more. I explain what to look out for with garage sale and Goodwill finds, and I also go why you basically can’t go wrong with any cast iron. If you’ve been wanting to get into the cast iron game but didn’t know where to start. This episode is specifically for you.

    68. How I Shop for Organic Food in a Rural Area Jan 13, 2020

    While I absolutely LOVE living in the country, there are certainly some challenges you have to deal with. One of the biggest challenges is grocery shopping. While we do grow and produce many different food items on our homestead, due to our growing seasons and climate restrictions it simply isn’t possible to produce everything we need on our own. So how do we cope? I’m glad you asked! On today’s episode I’m going to layout my method for supplementing our own produce with market and store bought items, big box stores, online marketplaces, and much, much more.

    67. I'm Not Sure I Like the Name Homesteading Anymore Jan 10, 2020

    Yes. I said it. I don’t like ‘homesteading' anymore. When I first got involved with ‘homesteading’, the word carried a certain endearing quality. It somehow encompassed the animals, the open fields, the freedom, and the community. Most of all, ‘homesteading’ represented being a bit of a maverick. In the very beginning there weren’t that many homesteaders. Today, it seems everyone is taking their shot at homesteading. No longer is what we call homesteading confined to the farm in Wyoming. All across the U.S. and all around the globe people are diving into what I’m now referring to as an old-fashioned lifestyle. Listen today to find out exactly what I mean by this and how you can get involved now.

    61. Do You Need a Heat Lamp for Your Chickens? Dec 27, 2019

    One of the most common questions when it comes to homesteading is “What do you do to keep the animals warm in the winter?” Naturally, our first instinct is to grab lamps or other forms of heating elements. The thing that most of us forget is that the vast majority or animals are designed to withstand the cold own their own. Above anything else, animals just need a way to get out of the wind and a way to stay dry. On today’s episode I’m going to explain what we do in our coop and provide the essential elements need for ever coop.

For anyone that has followed for any length of time, you’d know that my entire venture into entrepreneurship started with a blog. When I first started, I had no intention of making money.

    59. Choosing Hard But Good Dec 20, 2019

    Modern life is convenient, but is this always a good thing? Generally speaking, if something is becoming easier, quality is likely being sacrificed in the process.

While I’m not here today to bash technology and all of our wonderful modern conveniences, today I’m here to explain why taking on a challenge is essential for our long-term growth. For me, it’s chopping firewood in the cold. What is it for you?
