Homesteady - Stories of Living off the Land
Have you ever dreamt of starting a farm? Do you picture living on a homestead, gardening and raising chickens? Do you love foraging for wild edibles? Do you spent the fall season, in the crisp autumn wood hunting for wild game? Is your perfect morning spent drifting downriver, fishing for the night's dinner? Homesteady is a show that focuses on living a more sustainable life. We talk about all the ways a modern Homesteader can put food on the table, from the fields, streams, gardens and woodlands. Our roads may be rocky, but with the right skills and knowledge we can make Homesteady.

The Heritage Craft Butchers didn't learn to cut meat in the super market.
They learned in a barn.
Cutting up their own home grown pigs, and curing the meat in an old refrigerator, the guys decided they would try to follow their passion and start a butcher shop.
They found an old bank in the middle of Pennsylvania farm country. Perfect.
Lots of elbow grease, experimenting with old world recipes, and bourbon, and here they are runn...

In this episode of the Podcast, we interview Rachyl Travis, of Travis Family Farm.
At 9 years old, milking her first goat, Rachyl had no idea that someday she would be running a successful family farm business.
A pet goat given to her at 9 years old soon turned into multiple goats, and when Rachyl wound up with 15 goats in milk, and 15 gallons of milk a day to process, she had to figure out something to do with all of the milk.

Homesteading roots began with people trying to turn their life around by making a profit.
Signed into law in May 1862, the Homestead Act opened up settlement in the western United States, allowing any American, including freed slaves, to put in a claim for up to 160 free acres of federal land.
Modern Homesteading is similar. Google pallet homestead projects and you will know, it's ...
We are settled into our new homestead. Finally. But it was a LOT of work getting to this point.
When our homestead in CT went onto the market to be sold things moved quickly. In just 10 days we had an offer on the place and accepted it.
Suddenly we needed a place to live in PA WAY FASTER than we expected. We needed to figure out what we were going to live in.
We have wanted to live in a Yurt for almost as long as we have been marri...
A year ago this podcast disappeared. We announced we were moving,
selling our homestead in CT, and headed to a new farm in PA. We said that you would be getting updates from us as we went on this journey to our new home in the state of PA.
Then silence.

Sometimes the most obvious way of solving a problem is not the best way.

On this episode of Homesteady, Aust further explores the dream vs. the reality of homesteading, by explaining the harshest reality of them all: why your homestead business WILL fail. Through video, Aust's brother-in-law parodies the overt optimism that brings us into the homesteading world in the first place: the beauty of vegetables, the imagined ease of "working at home" now that you have a farm.
REALITY CHECK: It is RARE to make...
