Jenny and Donna talk Spring gardening! What's growing now, what's getting starting, and what to plan for. Weather, seeds, technique, and more, listen in to the conversation with tips for your spring garden.americanfarmsteadhers.com

What are you thinking attempting this homesteading lifestyle? That's not you! You're a 9-5 rat race, corporate system junkie from suburbia. Have you heard those negative comments as you switch to a slower, more intentional, ag-centric lifestyle at home? You're not alone. Don't let the negative talk get in your way. You CAN do it, and we're here to help.americanfarmsteadhers.com

We always say "just do something," and with that thought, ANYONE CAN HOMESTEAD. If we can figure it out, so can you. You don't need a farming background to grow a little food of your own. Get out there and do it!americanfarmsteadhers.com

Here's a reintroduction into who we are as homesteaders! Our backgrounds, our current small farms, and why we think you can grow food too!americanfarmsteadhers.com

Before we take a little break from the podcast during the Christmas and New Year season, we have a couple of exciting things we'd like to share with you. You can still find us over on the blog americanfarmsteadhers.com during the holiday. americanfarmsteadhers.com
