How one homesteader balances family life with raising farm animals and bees. There's so much processing done to the food in our grocery stores today that much of that food is unrecognizable. And that processed food has certainly lost most (if not all) of it's nutritional value. Homesteading is one way to take back control of the food that we eat. When we grow our own food, we know EXACTLY what's on our plate and where it came from.   This week, host Theresa Loe invited Kristina Urquhart, author of The Suburban Chicken, to talk about raising a young family on a homestead. They dive into the challenges of producing your own food, raising meat rabbits, and everything you could want to know about beekeeping. Kristina shares the story of how she and her husband struggled at first to get a financial foothold on their dream, and how dedication, hard work, and some creativity made that dream a reality. You will learn: Why it’s so important for our kids to know where their food comes from Which meat rabbit is good as a full service animal Where should you start if you’re interested in keeping bees Which books are best for beginning bee keepers Why sometimes homesteading doesn’t always go as planned What can keep you motivated to keep going And there's some bloopers at the very, very end...LOL As always, you can get more free information and all the links mentioned at www.LivingHomegrown.com/135 and you get a full PDF transcript as well.
