In this episode of the Pantry Chat, I sit down with my friend Rory Groves from  @thegrovestead to talk about his family’s journey from a tech career in the city to raising six kids on a homestead in Minnesota.

Rory’s story will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt the tug to get out of the rat race and build something lasting with their family. What started with a single tomato plant on a city balcony turned into a thriving homestead of gardens, orchards, and livestock. But more than that, it turned into a way of life intentionally built around faith, family, and meaningful work.

Rory is the author of Durable Trades and The Family Economy (links below), books that have encouraged thousands to think differently about how we live, work, and raise our children.

In this conversation we dive into:
- The slow, steady steps Rory and Becca took toward self-sufficiency
- Why it’s vital to build rhythms of joy into the homestead for our kids
- What “durable trades” really mean and why they matter today
- Rory’s thoughts on AI, technology, and the need to preserve skills that last
- Why homesteading isn’t about escaping the world, but preserving something worth passing on

Durable Trades: https://homesteadingfamily.com/durable-trades
The Family Economy: https://homesteadingfamily.com/the-family-economy

This is about more than food or farming—it’s about preserving culture, family, and faith for generations to come.

Do you ever wonder how to safely use herbal medicine at home? Whether it’s tinctures, teas, powders, or capsules, figuring out the right dose can feel a little overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out. 

In this week’s Pantry Chat, I’m joined by Dr. Patrick Jones from HomegrownHerbalist.net to break it all down in a simple, practical way.

We’re covering:
🌿 The pros and cons of different herbal preparations (tinctures, teas, capsules, powders, and salves)
🌿 How to safely dose herbs for adults, children, and even animals
🌿 The three big safety checks every herbalist (and mom!) needs to know before giving herbs
🌿 Which herbs are safe for daily, long-term use, and which ones should only be used short-term
🌿 Real-life stories from both the clinic and the homestead on how herbs can make a big difference in emergencies and everyday health

Herbal medicine doesn’t have to feel intimidating. With a little know-how, you can confidently use herbs to support your family’s health, without second-guessing if you’re “doing it wrong.”

In this episode, Carolyn sits down with Dana K. White of A Slob Comes Clean to talk all things kitchen and pantry organization—without the guilt, stress, or need to pull everything out first! 

Dana shares her simple, realistic system for decluttering that actually works for busy homesteading families, including her “container concept,” how to let go of food no one’s going to eat, and why organizing isn’t about perfection—it’s about function.
