The world can feel lonely sometimes, especially when you're trying to do all the things, all the time, all by yourself. We wanted to discuss community this week - something that often gets glossed over in the realm of homesteading where "DIY" and "self sufficiency" are king. We're talking about ways we've built community in our journeys, ways we've failed at building it, plus our thoughts and ideas for what the future of homesteading community could look like on both small and larger scales. So here's your sign to send this episode to a friend & convince them to homestead with ya!For other ways to follow along check out:She Said Homestead on YouTube: @SheSaidHomestead And connect with us on Instagram: instagram.com/shesaidhomesteadSage's YouTube: @terranovaacres and Instagram: ⁠instagram.com/terra.nova.acresMickayla's YouTube: @calicocowacres and Instagram: ⁠instagram.com/calicocowacresWe also want to share your experiences and stories!
