In a special episode, my husband, Ron Hanner, joins me to discuss why we began homesteading. We hope no one else ever has to face this story, but we are so happy that we have reached a place where we can hopefully help you on your journey toward self-sufficiency!

When the American food system is broken, we share how we have fixed it for ourselves.

My friend Rachel Hester of Whoopsy Daisy Farm and I decided it was time to start asking questions and take a deep dive into the nutritional health that homesteaders are pursuing. We share our personal stories and then bring in all our shared knowledge and personal contacts to understand what's happening to our bodies when we are doing it all right or especially when we aren't.

I hope you enjoy our banter and stories. Below are links to everything we talked about. We also ask that you share your nutritional questions with us.
