Steady Your Home and Make Every Day Count with Steve and Sandy

Send us Fan MailSteve and Sandy are the inspiring founders of East Tennessee Homestead Alliance.  Sandy reached out to me about the podcast a few months ago.  We ended up speaking on the phone about homesteading and what it really is all about. Many people, including myself who is close to farming and all about sustainability, have this impression of homesteading as a far reaching goal that we would not be capable of doing or achieving in our current environments… that you need to be living out in the boonies without electricity to be even considered a homesteader.  Well, Sandy’s description of homesteading is not that at all.  She basically broke homesteading down to a simple definition - homesteading is all about keeping a steady home. That anyone can homestead and integrate homesteading regardless of their living situation and environment.  I thought that her definition was brilliant and creates a sense of “I can do this.”So Steve and Sandy are doing just that…they are teaching people how to homestead through their own life learnings and mastery and through the network they have formed in East Tennessee.  And how does this tie into Agritourism?  Well it ties in in many ways, but most importantly through education… through programs, retreats, alliance events, and, most importantly, through how Steve and Sandy live their own lives.  Steve and Sandy each have inspiring and humbling stories about how they came together and have spent over 39 years making each day count.  I hope you are left with a feeling of inspiration and exhilaration after listening to my chat with Steve and Sandy!
