    Description

    Chickens... They are the "gateway" animal. That's how our farm started. It seems every homesteader and wannabe farmer starts with a flock of hens. 
    But should they be? Do egg layers make financial sense in a world of $2 per dozen eggs? Listen to this months episode to find out!

    Have you ever dreamt of starting a farm? Do you picture living on a homestead, gardening and raising chickens? Do you love foraging for wild edibles? Do you spent the fall season, in the crisp autumn wood hunting for wild game? Is your perfect morning spent drifting downriver, fishing for the night's dinner? Homesteady is a show that focuses on living a more sustainable life. We talk about all the ways a modern Homesteader can put food on the table, from the fields, streams, gardens and woodlands. Our roads may be rocky, but with the right skills and knowledge we can make Homesteady.
