Episode 158 - Homestead Easter

from Ditch The Store Hosted by CJ Steedman

Easter on the Homestead: Seasonal Cycles, Real Food & Why You Should Pat Yourself on the Back Easter looks a little different when you're living off the land — especially in the Southern Hemisphere, where it lands smack in the middle of autumn, not spring. In this episode, CJ digs into what Easter actually means for homesteaders: the ancient seasonal roots behind the chocolate eggs and rabbits, why the northern and southern hemispheres are at completely opposite ends of the cycle right now, and what you should actually be doing on your property this time of year. She also makes a passionate case for why Australians need to stop being so bloody modest about their wins — and why Easter is the perfect time to sit down, reflect on your season, and give yourself credit for what you grew, raised, and kept alive. In this episode: The real (pre-chocolate) history of Easter What autumn on the homestead looks like in Australia right now Practical Easter ideas using what you've already got Why your seasonal reflection notes matter more than you think A shoutout to every shift worker, nurse, ambo, and police officer working through the long weekend Whether you're heading into spring or winding down into autumn — this one's for you.🌿 Part of the Ditch the Store podcast — practical homesteading for real people on real budgets.
