S1E37 Bigger Isn't Always Better - W/Special Guest Brenda Scott
Many homesteaders dream of the large property; 5, 10, 15 or 20 acres of land on which they can grow all the things, raise all the things and do all the things. Today's guest, Brenda Scott from http://wellfedhomestead.com is someone who had an opportunity to realize that dream. She and her family left a small suburban lot for a 30 acre homestead. And they quickly learned that bigger isn't always better. In fact, eventually, they sold that homestead and downgraded again to a suburban lot before relocating from Oregon to Virginia (to another suburban sized lot). She is in the process of writing a book entitled, "Why We Failed At Homesteading" and joins us to discuss why a bigger homestead isn't always better.
If you're someone who thinks that you HAVE to have a large homestead in order to be considered a "Real Homesteader", then this episode is for you. If you're someone who is on a smaller piece of land and you feel inadequate, this episode is for you. The goal certainly isn't to squash anyone's dreams. But, we do hope that the lessons they learned will help you make a better, more informed decision with regards to your homesteading journey.
Enjoy!!

We are a small family farmstead in upstate NY. We raise American Guinea Hogs, meat "mutt" rabbits and a variety of heritage chickens. We also have started raising Cornish Cross broilers.
We have a large garden comprised f raised beds and do a lot of canning and freezing of vegetables. We also do some fermentation as a means of food preservation and introducing natural probiotics into our diet. This YouTube channel is dedicated to our journey towards a more sustainable, healthy and wholesome lifestyle. Who knows what we might try next??!!!!!
