Author: Mona Weathers March 11, 2024 Duration: 58:59

If you have listened to this podcast for more than a few episodes you know how much I encourage homesteaders and dreamers to find a local community. There as so many reasons why I believe this is a crucial step in your journey and in today's episode I chat with two of my homesteading friends from the town where we used to live in California. 

Adam and Leslie Martin are homesteading full time now in Tennessee. They started their beekeeping education business in hopes of teaching more people about natural and sustainable beekeeping. 

In this episode (92) we chat about homesteading in California, moving accross country, community and how it relates to bees.
