When we started homesteading 26yrs ago, podcasting was not a thing, YouTube,  Instagram nor Facebook didn't exist to help us.  We wished we could have heard some things to consider before buying land and build our infrastructure.  With no social media there to guide us we depended on friends and books to learn to garden, preserve food, raise chickens and other farm animals.  This is a quick look at things to consider before getting started on the journey on the homestead journey or expanding where you are in your journey.   Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and DM us your questions!

We saw what happened during Covid, we saw or heard what happened during Katrina, we have seen supply chain issues increase and egg prices going up.  We have seen lack of emergency help with hurricane Helene in North Carolina and know there is more to come.  If it is national disaster, lockdown, job loss, power grid issues or an illness and cannot work it is best to be as prepared as possible.  In this podcast we talk about the first 5 essential needs in preparedness and more.  Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and DM us your questions!

When we started homesteading we didn't have a clear direction of the "why's". Over the years knowing our "why" and "what" we wanted to do helped us decided our direction on our property. Then we knew more of "what" we needed to do to help navigate that direction.  Also we answered a question on "how to start herbal gardening on a balcony?"Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and DM us your questions!

Have you ever wondered a way to help to control the bugs in your garden?  Well, companion planting is a great way to help reduce bugs that like to feast off your plants and planting closer together with an increased harvest. Along with that we talk about seasonal planting which is best done by your low and high temps in your area more than what the back of the seed packages say. In this episode we will discuss both, plus answer a new question from one of our listeners. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and DM us your questions! Thank you for your support!

Homesteading comes with its beauty and its hardships.  It looks glamorous and easy on social media, but so much isn’t mentioned or pictured about the hardships.  However, we rise up over the challenges and remember what we do and why we do it and that brings us back to focus on the lovely reasons we chose this life.  Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, and DM us your questions!

Hello! And welcome to the EZ Farms Podcast, where we are doing things from the ground up! In this week's episode, we share how we went from a city and suburban life to moving our family out to our first five acres of land, beginning what would become our homesteading beginning. You may be considering a homesteading lifestyle and curious to know what the first steps could be like for you and your family.
