E41: Impact Your Community Through Homesteading | Samantha Armel of Frederick County Homesteaders


Listen Later

We get questions all the time about how to find local community with a shared mindset around homesteading.  After asking the same question in her community, Samantha decided to make the first move and create the network she was looking for.  Not only has she grown a thriving local homesteading community in her area, she teaches people all across the country to do the same.  This episode will inspire you with a reminder about why camaraderie is so important and will equip you with the practical steps to build a network of your own.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How Samantha started a movement in her county to connect homesteaders

  • Why building strong in-person community is vital in our current day

  • What is a farm crawl and why is it beneficial to a community?

  • Overview of what kind of team it takes to create and run a local homesteading organization

  • The personal growth that takes place as the leader of a community organization

  • What does it take to start a homestead collective in your own community?

  • View full show notes and transcript on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.
