In this episode, we’re discussing our journey into homesteading — the good, the messy, the stings, and the sweet honey in between.

What started as a simple idea turned into a life-changing shift as we traded convenience for connection, and chaos for something closer to nature (though let’s be honest, there’s still plenty of chaos — just the feathered, buzzing kind). We’re sharing the highs and lows of raising bees, chickens, and quails, and all the unexpected lessons they’ve taught us — about patience, resourcefulness, and letting go of perfection. Oh, and what to do with all that produce you'll be getting from your garden, besides having your chickens eat it...

We’ll also talk about what it’s been like raising kids in this lifestyle — the muddy boots, the early mornings, and the joy of watching them grow up with a deep understanding of where their food comes from and how to care for living things.

Whether you're dreaming of starting your own homestead, already knee-deep in compost, or just curious about what this lifestyle really looks like behind the Instagram filters, this episode is for you.

So grab a cup of coffee (or drink of choice) and settle in — we’re getting real about homesteading, family life, and everything in between.
