The Sovereign Collective 061 - Choosing and Building Your Family Homestead - The Why and the How with Curtis Stone
In this episode I have a great conversation with former urban farmer Curtis Stone, now of FreedomFarmers.com. Curtis gives us a taste of what his platform offers from how to choose your homestead property (there are very specific points to consider), other classes his membership provides and he also shares his views and opinions of the current world climate and what he feels is the best direction in which to focus life activities at this point in time.
FreedomFarmers.com is a one-stop-shop to choose, set up and be successful at small-scale homesteading. This is a dream for my own life, as I feel that building a self-sustaining property that ensures all aspects of vital human needs for life are ensured, is one of the most meaningful legacies we can create for our families and future generations.
There is a shift for many who are wanting to leave the confines and rules of the city, and Curtis and his team will teach you how to do it all along the way. Unfortunately, I did not manage to get this episode published before his special offer expired.
Though we had load of technical issues with this interview, I think I managed to sew it together so that it is minimally disruptive, and there are no problems with the last 40 minutes at all. So stay tuned in!
