Homesteady - Stories of Living off the Land

Austin Martin, Squash Hollow Farm

Have you ever dreamt of starting a farm or homesteading? Do you love foraging for wild edibles? Is your perfect afternoon spent drifting downriver, fishing for that nights dinner? Or do love to spend a crisp fall morning hunting for wild game to share with your family? Or perhaps you spend all your free time digging in your garden, collecting herbs, vegetables, and fruits to enjoy. Homesteady is a show that focuses on living a more sustainable life. We talk about all the ways a modern Homesteader can put food on the table, from the fields, streams, gardens and woodlands. Our roads may be rocky, but with the right skills and knowledge we can make Homesteady.

MOST farmers don't make enough money from their efforts to live off their earnings.

It's a sad but true statement.

An article written last year on the usda website stated that 96% of farm households get some income from off-farm sources and on average that off-farm income was 82 of their total income.

Yep. Farming for a living is hard.

And yet many of us want the life of a farmer...

So, can it be done? Can we make a living... living the life we want, farming full time? YES.

Jordan and his wife Laura figured out how to do this starting a regenerative multi-species pasture-based farm from scratch, both of them coming out of military jobs!

How? He shares their story in the latest episode of our podcast!

Jordan didn't exactly grow up farming.

"I did not grow up on a farm per se. I grew up on what now would now be called a homestead. We had egg laying chickens, a few pigs, and a herd of dairy goats...

She Lives Alone, Off Grid, in a Tiny House on Wheels

Homesteady - Stories of Living off the Land

play

03/09/20 • 44 min

Ariel has been living off grid in a tiny house nestled into the western mountains of Wyoming, a little over 6000 feet above sea level for six years now. She splits her own wood for heat, carries water by hand, uses a composting toilet, and attempts to grow as much of her own food as possible between the weather and wildlife she's surrounded by.

As a child, she was fortunate enough to be able to spend much of her free time exploring and playing in the woods. Little has changed now that she older. She moved to a place with a bigger woods and still enjoys spending her time outside hiking, gardening, and photographing the natural world.

As the eldest of seven children who grew up in a homeschooling family Ariel had the opportunity, not always appreciated at the time, to learn to do quite a bit of work. She's enjoyed a wide range of jobs, everything from greenhouses and flower arranging, to wilderness therapy with teens, to milking cows.

Mostly, she enjoys doing the kinds of things that try to provide a real service or value to others. Some of her other hobbies include backpacking, hosting people, cooking, preserving food, anything to do with nutrition, skiing, reading, journalling, and sitting around a fire and talking to close friends.

Starting a Successful Craft Butcher Business from Scratch

02/24/20 • 32 min

The Heritage Craft Butchers didn't learn to cut meat in the super market.

They learned in a barn.

Cutting up their own home grown pigs, and curing the meat in an old refrigerator, the guys decided they would try to follow their passion and start a butcher shop.

They found an old bank in the middle of Pennsylvania farm country. Perfect.

Lots of elbow grease, experimenting with old world recipes, and bourbon, and here they are running a successful butcher business from scratch.

HOW TO ESCAPE THE CITY and START A FARM!

Homesteady - Stories of Living off the Land

play

03/02/20 • 44 min

Morgan wasn't happy. He had a "great job" that paid well in the city. But it was not what he really wanted.

Morgan's dream was to build a farm!

After he quit his finance job in Washington, DC, his wife and he moved to a farm in a remote part of Northern Vermont.

He planted a 600 tree integrated orchard consisting of chestnuts, hazelnuts, elderberries, mulberries, apple, black locust and many others.

He also established a flock of 40 egg-laying ducks that will live in a mobile duck house that travels through our orchard.

His ultimate goal is to develop a long-lasting sustainable farm that is sustainable on three levels - environmentally, financially and personally.

Morgan has been documenting his farm's development through a YouTube channel and a newly launched podcast.

Enjoy listening to this podcast episode as Aust and Morgan talk making the leap from living in places like New York City and Washington, DC to town of 700 people in Northern Vermont,

planting a 600 tree orchard, being a duck farmer who is allergic to duck eggs, and so much more!
