037. Updates: Podcast & Mona's Homestead

Author: Mona Weathers April 15, 2023 Duration: 13:09

If you are listening to this podcast you are likely a new homesteader or homestead dreamer. You are either in the beginning years or in the dreaming years of your journey.

It seems homesteading has really gained in popularity these past few years. It's no surprise really since 2020 people have started evaluating their priorities, their quality of life, and their health. You may be one of the many people desiring to have skills that make you feel less dependent on the grocery store by knowing how to grow and raise your own food.

Well, in 2020 I realize my dream was to see more and more people live the homesteading lifestyle in the best way possible. This includes preventing bad starts and overwhelm.

Do you really need acres and acres of land? Do you need to grow 30 tomato plants? What livestock fits your lifestyle and goals the best? What about a savings and income plan for when feed and lumber prices go up suddenly? And what about vacations? Do you have a plan that will allow you to leave the homestead from time to time?

These are all things that will be covered in the Workshop for Beginner Homesteaders & Dreamers. I'll share some of my resources and strategies for building the homesteading life you dream about. This 2-hour workshop is designed to help you discover what you really NEED to start your sustainability journey and to help you feel confident going forward with future plans.
