Bringing Homesteading Home

Here we dig into the traditional and modern definitions of the concept of Homesteading, as well as 5 core principles that are good starting points as you begin creating your goals. Having a foundation of understanding about what some of them mean (and mean to YOU) will be important as you then plan on HOW to incorporate them into your life. 

This is an intro episode giving you listeners a bit of background on me, Carrie (toddler-mom extraordinaire) at Dragon Brook Farm, what we hope to accomplish with this podcast and what you can expect from us going forward.  We review the format and content strategy for the first season as well as talk through some of my frustrations at 'how to homestead'. Want to learn how to Bring Homesteading Home for yourself?
