  • Useful resource

    There are really helpful nuggets throughout these episodes. While I may not do all the homesteading things, I’m interested in doing more, and each episode will have something worthwhile. I enjoy the magazine too.

  • Great guests, host needs to talks less.

    Interesting and informative guests, and the topic matter is fantastic. My only complaint after listening to most of the podcasts, is the host talks WAY too much. God bless her - I get she’s excited about her own journey…but most of us are there for the guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 29: Real Productivity for Real Homesteaders w/ Anne of All Trades
Q: What does planning look like for you, and how do you break down projects into actionable steps?
Her process starts with a brain dump to capture all needs, then overestimates timelines, breaks tasks into precise first steps, times them with a timer, and uses data to decide what to do next, ensuring there is a clear path and margin for error.
Ep 29: Real Productivity for Real Homesteaders w/ Anne of All Trades
Q: Zoom out and give us the 50,000 foot view of your life and multiple trades: how did you learn to do all these things, and where did Anne of All Trades come from?
She built a life through hands-on learning, reading, mentorship, and embracing a diverse skill set across farming, woodworking, and entrepreneurship. The moniker came from years of trying different paths, learning to value a range of skills over specialization, and the realization that being a jack of all trades can be an asset.
Ep 24: How to Grow Real Food That Actually Feeds Your Family w/ David The Good
Q: How do you define survival gardening and how is it different from traditional gardening?
David explains that survival gardening prioritizes high-calorie, climate-appropriate staple crops that can sustain a family with minimal inputs, built on predictable, regional ecosystems rather than flashy, tech-heavy systems. He emphasizes planting calories first, using local knowledge of what grows well in a given climate, and adopting practical, low-maintenance methods that scale as needed, with a focus on resilience and learning over time.
Ep 23: Healthy Homemade Alternatives to Soda & Coffee w/ CeAnne Kosel
Q: What about sugar-free or low-sugar options and which sweeteners do you recommend or avoid?
Maple syrup or honey can replace sugar for flavor while reducing crystallinity, but you must use less water since these are liquids. Coconut sugar and liquid sweeteners can work, but solid sweeteners require ratio adjustments; stevia and some keto sweeteners can be problematic because many commercial forms add sugar or experimenting with processing is important.
Ep 23: Healthy Homemade Alternatives to Soda & Coffee w/ CeAnne Kosel
Q: Can you walk us through how to make simple syrups for homemade sodas and how close these are to store-bought flavors?
You can start with a basic sugar-and-water syrup, adjust with vanilla or herbs, and keep experimenting with flavors like lavender, orange, or lemon-lime. The syrup concentration is flexible, you can tailor sweetness to taste, and you can use tea or fruit decoctions as the liquid base to create more complex profiles.
