Raising your kids around chickens, gardens, and the rhythm of honest work? Maybe you’ve caught yourself searching “how to raise baby chicks,” “chicken breeds for beginners,” “how to homestead with children,” or “God-centered family farm life.” Friend, you are not alone—and you are exactly where you’re meant to be. I’m Tori Gass and welcome to Chickens and Farming Made Easy, a podcast where we blend practical chicken-keeping know-how with honest family life, deep faith, and a whole lot of humor. Whether you’re just beginning to think about raising chickens or you’re already deep in the mud boots and mayhem, this show is here to walk with you—step by step, chore by chore, prayer by prayer. We’re a family living out God’s calling to steward the land, raise our children with intention, and lean into the beauty of a slower, simpler life. But it hasn’t been easy. After losing everything in a flood—our home, our animals, our plans—we were left with nothing but each other, Jesus, and a laptop that floated just long enough to help us start again. That’s where Lost Sheep Farm was born. And now, we’re sharing the journey with you. On this podcast, you’ll hear: Beginner-friendly guides to raising chickens for eggs or meat Tips for choosing the right breed, feed, coop setup, and daily routine Real talk about what it’s like to juggle farming, faith, and raising kids Encouragement for mamas trying to do it all (without losing their minds) Ways to include your children in daily farm life and teach them responsibility Devotional moments that remind us why we’re doing all of this in the first place And a good dose of laughter, chicken chaos, and backyard blessings Whether you live on five acres or in a suburban backyard, whether you’re wrangling chicks or toddlers (or both), this show is for anyone who feels called to a more intentional life—one filled with family, faith, and fresh eggs. Each episode is packed with practical advice, spiritual encouragement, and real stories from our family to yours. This isn’t perfection—this is real life with chickens and children, dirt under our nails, and grace in our hearts. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to start. So pull on your boots, grab your coffee, and join me each week as we build something beautiful together. A life where chores become lessons, where chaos becomes joy, and where even a little backyard flock can be part of something so much bigger.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light.
