If I Were Starting My Homestead From Scratch Today Here Are the 3 Things I Would Do Completely Differently
from Chickens and Farming Made Easy, Homestead, Backyard Chickens, Homesteading, Farm Life · host Victoria Gass
If I had to start over from scratch—after all the messes, miracles, and muddy lessons—these are the three things I’d do differently when starting a homestead. Whether you’re dreaming of chickens and tomatoes or life just threw you a hard reset, this episode is full of real talk, practical tips, and God’s truth to guide you forward. I’m sharing how I would slow down and build a strong foundation, how starting smaller is actually a power move, and why community is absolutely essential. Because friend, you are not meant to do this alone. I built a working homestead from scratch that now pays for itself. I started with a backyard flock and a dream and grew it into a 20-acre operation with over 4,000 birds, multiple livestock, and self-serve farm stands running year-round. We even completely rebuilt in a YEAR after a flood cam and wiped out everything from our flocks to our gardens. All while raising four kids, staying present in my marriage, and keeping my relationship with Jesus at the center of every single decision. I am Tori Gass, a Christian homestead coach. God did not call me to keep this to myself. He called me to bring you with me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Like listening to a friend who is passionate about something and actually knows what she is talking about." — Apple Podcasts This is the show for Christian women who are done dreaming and ready to build a real, sustainable, God-centered homestead.
