The Homestead Kings

It was a hot topic in the last two seasons. Raising and harvesting your own meat birds is one of those things in homesteading that naturally seems to be a level-up. After getting comfortable raising our own veggies and fruits, of course, we wanted to try our hand at raising our own meat. This short and sweet podcast goes into what we learned as first-time chicken harvesters, how we then lost almost our entire meat supply, and what we'll do differently the next time. It even has a little special guest who pops in unexpectedly to give her opinions on raising your own meat! We hope you enjoy!  

As always, thank you for joining us! We're so glad you're here.

It's a good question. Should you make your homesteading venture a business or just let it be a part of your life without bringing any money in? There are a few things to consider before taking the plunge into a homesteading business, and it may not be for everyone. We talk boundaries we've implemented for our homesteading business, how and why we chose to approach it the way we do, and other important pros/cons to think about. 

As always, thank you for joining us! We're so glad you're here.

In a culture where being a devoted wife isn't the norm, let's strive to lift our husbands up, honor and respect them, and have gratitude for the roles they play in our lives.

“Hey! I’ve heard you have [insert animal]. My [insert family member, friend, acquaintance] loves [said animal]! We’ll have to come by your house and see them.”

Uh, why? Do you know how caught off guard I am when someone says this to me? It’s usually at some social function and said by people we barely know or converse with. How are we even supposed to respond? You just invited yourself and guests to our house, uninvited. Can we now invite our family, friends, and ourselves to your house in return? Is this real life? It is on the homestead. We typically employ one of these tactics in response.

What do income properties have to do with homesteading? As much or as little as you want! Agrotourism is a booming business right now, and maybe you have a little spot you could make a rental on your homestead or farm. Or maybe you'd like to build your passive income to fund your homesteading life with offsite properties. Income properties can be fantastic long-term tools to build wealth if done correctly. We talk about what we've learned about our long-term income property compared to our short-term property, the pros and cons of each, and how to design and set them up for success. It's a long one, but we unpackage all of the rental market's challenges, fun, and more so pause and take breaks if you need to! You won't want to miss a minute. Well... maybe the minute we talk about a nudist colony. But other than, that... As always, thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy!

Yes ma’am. Yes sir. No ma’am. No sir. Ma’am? Sir? Children in the South are still taught these to this very day though it appears that it is starting to wane. Is it offensive or a sign of respect? So, why do Southerners say Sir & Ma'am? We dive into why we use these terms, why we are teaching our child to say them, and whether or not we think they are relevant to today's world.  

As always, thank you for joining us! We're so glad you're here.
