Why I Created the "How to Homestead Anywhere Crash Course"
Â
I didnât grow up on a farm. I didnât inherit land or know anything about soil composition, preserving food, or using herbs as medicine. In fact, my journey began on a tiny apartment patio where I grew my very first vegetables. My husband Josh and I were poor as church mice with a growing family to support, limited time, and a pressing need to make it all work.
Trying to mesh these old world skills with modern schedules can be tough. We didnât grow up seeing homesteading âbaked inâ to everyday life the way our great grandmothers did.
But over time, I discovered the essential skills, shortcuts, and strategies that allowed me to create a self-sustaining lifestyle wherever I lived. Today, Iâm thrilled to share this knowledge with youâso you, too, can create your own slice of homesteading heaven right where you are.
Consider this your official invitation to join me for 5 days on January 6th - 10th from 9 am - 1 pm for my first ever LIVE How to Homestead Anywhere Crash Course.Â
