Live Report From the 2025 Homesteaders of America Conference With Mike Sharman

Join Doug Apple and Mike Sharman (of Share HealthCare) as they report live from the vibrant 2025 Homesteaders of America Conference in Front Royal, VA. Mike, whose organization is built on the pillars of medical, financial, and religious freedom, dives deep into why the homesteading movement is exploding into a "tsunami." This community is defined by a desire to unplug from industrialized, mechanized systems and government intervention, empowering families to live their own lives with greater self-reliance. Discover how this movement, which started with "how-to" skills (canning, butchering), has become a significant cultural and political thought process. Key Takeaways from the Conference: -- The Core of Homesteading: It's about self-reliance, not 100% self-sufficiency, driven by a "can-do attitude" to take charge of one's food, health, and future. -- Daniel Salatin's Perspective: As the son of "grandfather of the homesteading movement" Joel Salatin, Daniel shares how his family's Polyface Farm became a hub for those seeking to decouple from conventional school systems, healthcare, and grocery stores to find genuine joy, peace, and fulfillment. -- Vendor Spotlights on Freedom: -- Redmond (Redmond.life): Providing American-mined, unrefined sea salt to help people be "free from ailments" by supporting health. -- Bo's Tractor Works: A faith-based company focusing on plant-based anti-inflammation creams, crediting the Creator for providing everything we need "right out of the earth" for our bodies. -- Earthley Wellness (Earthley.com): An all-natural company focused on medical freedom and education, offering herbal remedies, and even homeschool units. -- The Chicken Fountain (TheChickenFountain.com): Offering the "freedom to be away" by providing an automatic, clean watering system for backyard flocks. -- The Biblical Worldview: Tina Freitas (and her husband, delegate Nick Freitas) discuss the importance of living a life where the biblical worldview is not tucked away but is forefront in politics, livelihood, and all aspects of life. --Karen Hamilton, delegate for HD-62.
