Roots in Nature: Embracing Homesteading

What if your whole life looked different just three years from now? In this moving episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Janelle Anderson of The Haven Farmstead to share an extraordinary story of family, faith, and legacy. Janelle and her husband left behind their cattle ranch in North Dakota, sold nearly everything, and started over on raw land in Tennessee—with no power, no water, and a dream of raising their children with intention. What they’ve built in under three years is nothing short of remarkable.

This episode is a tribute to generational resilience and bold obedience. Janelle shares how childhood lessons became lifelines, how cheese-making became ministry, and how being “forced to wait” in daily tasks invites real rest. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late—or too crazy—to change your life, this conversation will light a fire in your heart.

Let this episode remind you: the seeds you plant today may grow faster—and wilder—than you think.
