  • S4E169 How Is Homesteading Different From Farming?
    Sep 26 2023

    This week I spent a lot of time reading the policy manuals of the Farm Bureau and the NY Farm Bureau. As I did, I spent quite a bit of time thinking about how homesteading and farming are the same. And how they are different. On this episode, I share my thoughts on that as well as why I think homesteading is crucial to solving the issue of aging farmers.

    Enjoy!!

Upstate New York homestead

Great practical discussion of homesteading in upstate New York. Levelheaded, middle of the road, not extremist. Well done.
