Homesteading Family
What if you could have a healthier, more secure lifestyle with greater sustainability and self-sufficiency for you, your family and your community? That’s what Homesteading Family is all about. Carolyn and Josh have taken their popular YouTube series, “Pantry Chat” and turned it into a podcast so you can discover how to take the leap from a “normal” life to a homestead life, filled with meaning, beauty and freedom. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the city or the country, if you’ve ever wanted to explore the homesteading life, this is your chance to learn how to do it in less time with fewer bumps in the road. It’s like sitting down with a cup of coffee with friends. Round up your cast iron pans and mason jars and start listening!

Homesteading Resilience - Is Your Homestead Living Paycheck to Paycheck?
This Pantry Chat Podcast is a bit of a departure from our normal homesteading topics. However, we feel like it goes hand in hand with building systems and resiliency on the homestead. We've discussed livestock resilience, garden resilience and food resilience, but there's one other area we think isn't discussed enough: financial resilience.
