EZ Farms Homestead Podcast

Hi! I'm Les, and I'm Christy; and we're here to help guide you and your family to a more self-sufficient way of life. In today's world of wars and rumors of wars, economic crisis, and natural disasters, your current way of living can change at any time. We're a family that has been homesteading and prepping for over 25 years, and we're here to help you start setting up a more self-sufficient way of life. Come along with us as we continue to set up our family homestead, experiencing the ups and downs, successes and failures, while trying different ideas to see what works and doesn't work during the current economic situation instead of waiting for the next preverbal shoe to drop. Join us as we set up a legacy for our children and future grand children at EZ Farms, where we are doing things from the ground up.

When we started homesteading 26yrs ago, podcasting was not a thing, YouTube,  Instagram nor Facebook didn't exist to help us.  We wished we could have heard some things to consider before buying land and build our infrastructure.  With no social media there to guide us we depended on friends and books to learn to garden, preserve food, raise chickens and other farm animals.  This is a quick look at things to consider before ge...

When we started homesteading we didn't have a clear direction of the "why's". Over the years knowing our "why" and "what" we wanted to do helped us decided our direction on our property. Then we knew more of "what" we needed to do to help navigate that direction.  Also we answered a question on "how to start herbal gardening on a balcony?"

In this episode we will discuss both, plus answer a n...

Homesteading comes with its beauty and its hardships.  It looks glamorous and easy on social media, but so much isn’t mentioned or pictured about the hardships.  However, we rise up over the challenges and remember what we do and why we do it and that brings us back to focus on the lovely reasons we chose this life.
