With the throes of spring upon us, I'm reminded of just how much work this homesteading life demands. In this episode, I'm discussing the uniqueness of this lifestyle, as well as how to meet your basic needs while also meeting the basic needs of the farm.
I will never tell you this life isn’t for you, but I also won’t lie and tell you it's without its hardships. This life is beautiful, will push you beyond your limits, open your eyes to what you’re capable of, and is full of more rewards than I can count.
