I built a working homestead from scratch that now pays for itself. I started with a backyard flock and a dream and grew it into a 20-acre operation with over 4,000 birds, multiple livestock, and self-serve farm stands running year-round. We even completely rebuilt in a YEAR after a flood cam and wiped out everything from our flocks to our gardens.  All while raising four kids, staying present in my marriage, and keeping my relationship with Jesus at the center of every single decision.

I am Tori Gass, a Christian homestead coach. God did not call me to keep this to myself. He called me to bring you with me.

"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Proverbs 15:22

Raising chickens is often the first step in building a homestead, but one of the biggest beginner mistakes happens before the chicks ever arrive. In this episode, we talk about how to raise chickens and plan your homestead the right way — starting with proper design, setup, and timing.

We walk through homestead planning for beginners, how to design a chicken setup that works long-term, and how to avoid wasting time and money by doing things out of order. Whether you’re raising chickens for eggs, planning to raise meat chickens, or learning how to start raising chickens for the first time, this episode covers the foundations that matter most.

The BIG thing I wish I knew sooner: if your coop and setup are ready, you need to start looking at ordering chickens NOW. Hatcheries sell out quickly, especially in spring, and waiting too long can mean missing the entire season. We talk about why timing matters, how hatchery availability affects your homestead plan, and how ordering chicks early can save you months of frustration.

"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Proverbs 15:22

In this episode, we pause from commentary and conversation and simply read the Word of God aloud. This is the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, shared directly from Scripture, just as it is written.

In a season that can feel loud and rushed, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen, and sit with the truth of why Jesus came. No explanations, no added thoughts — only Scripture, read clearly and intentionally, so the focus remains fully on Christ.

Homestead Chicken Farming, Full Freezers, Busy Days, and Jesus at the Center

This episode is a real-life homestead reflection on chicken farming, stewardship, and faith. After live butchering chickens on the homestead — with over 10,000 viewers joining in — we processed and packaged 100 birds and finished the work completely. Because the work was done, there was space to slow down, rest, and truly focus on Jesus during a season that is often rushed and overwhelming.

Heavenly Homestead Academy — YES, WE ARE OPEN 🎉

Cold weather is rolling in fast, and before the temperature drops, it’s important to know if your chicken coop is truly ready. In this episode, we break down our go-to trick for preparing your coop for the cold winter ahead, including how we use plastic the right way, why ventilation matters more than heat, and how simple preparation can protect your flock during an unexpected cold snap.

This episode is real life — recorded with a baby on my lap, giving you a first-hand view of the chaos that comes with homesteading, motherhood, and obedience all happening at once. We talk about finishing finals, stacking a lot of wood, taking our sheep to the butcher, and trusting God through big decisions and everyday overwhelm. If you’ve ever felt behind or unsure if you’re doing “enough,” this conversation is meant to feel like you’re on the phone with your slightly crazy best friend — babies crying in the background and all — reminding you that preparation brings peace and God is faithful in every season.

Winter doesn’t have to mean empty egg baskets! In this episode, we’re breaking down the shockingly simple, fast, and easy secret to keeping your chickens laying eggs all winter long. Most chicken owners think cold temperatures or shorter days are the main problem — but the real reason your hens stop laying is something totally fixable: they’re not getting enough protein.

Starting a small organic farm or homestead doesn’t have to cost thousands — and it definitely doesn’t require 20 acres, a barn, or a Pinterest-perfect setup. In this episode, I’m sharing how to build a simple, faith-rooted homestead using what you already have, along with the basics for raising chickens on a tiny budget. From scrap-wood coops to cheap (or even free!) compost and starter seeds, this episode gives you the confidence to begin now — not “someday.”

We’ll walk through starter chickens, low-cost feed strategies, zoning basics, DIY projects that actually save money, and how to slowly scale your homestead with purpose. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to begin your farm life journey… this is it, friend. God uses our small beginnings!
