The Unbroken Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Cassi Mounteer, a remarkable individual who's taken her passion for self-sufficiency and community service to new heights. During the COVID lockdown, Cassi discovered the importance of homesteading for her family's well-being. Growing up in a family that valued self-reliance, she decided to dive deeper and eventually started a homesteading group specifically for women, recognizing a need in the community.

Cassi shares her journey from learning the basics of homesteading to now teaching others how to thrive in a suburban backyard. From growing your own food and raising chickens and rabbits to mastering the art of canning, Cassi's expertise is both inspiring and practical. Beyond her homesteading efforts, she's also deeply involved in various community activities and holds a deep respect for the Republic police department, having gained firsthand insights through their Citizen Police Academy.

Join us as we explore how one woman's dedication to service and self-sufficiency is making a lasting impact on her community.
