Modern Lessons from the Great Depression | Food, Resilience & Self-Sufficiency
️ What did our grandparents know about food that we’ve forgotten? The Great Depression (1929-1941) forced families to rethink food, waste, and survival—and today, many of those lessons are just as relevant as ever. With rising prices, food shortages, and economic instability, we have a lot to learn from their resilience.
In this episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, we explore:
✅ How families fed themselves when food was scarce
✅ Creative Depression-era meals & how they stretched ingredients
✅ How extreme weather & the Dust Bowl changed farming forever
✅ The lost skills that made survival possible—and why we need them again
✅ Why growing your own food is the ultimate Real Food Movement
As we head into another unpredictable year, it’s time to relearn the skills that kept our ancestors fed. Whether you’re planning your spring garden, looking for ways to stretch your food budget, or simply curious about history, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and real-world applications.
What’s one Depression-era tip you use today? Drop it in the comments—we’d love to hear!
