Secrets to Food Storage

Tucked away on two and a half acres in Marion, Indiana, Sheri Ann Richerson is constantly trying something new. The Experimental Homesteader Podcast is a direct audio line into that ongoing adventure, where the focus is on the hands-on process of learning by doing. Each episode feels like a conversation across the garden fence, covering the tangible results and occasional surprises that come from exotic gardening projects, attempts at elegant home cooking, and various crafty creations. You’ll hear the practical details of food preservation methods and the realities of small-scale animal husbandry, all filtered through Sheri’s personal experience. This isn’t about presenting a picture-perfect rural life; it’s about the genuine trials, errors, and successes that define a modern homestead. The podcast serves as a grounded, educational companion for anyone curious about building a more self-sufficient life, no matter their acreage. It’s for those who appreciate that the best lessons often come from experiments that don’t go exactly as planned, and who find inspiration in hearing about real projects from seed to harvest, from kitchen to craft table.
