We are Sophie and Tim and we moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Northern California "Gold Country" in the Summer of 2021 to learn to grow our own food. In 2022, we bought some raw land in the Appalachias and are taking everything we learned to build a homestead with minimal resources in a just 60 days. We try to live more sustainably and try not to throw anything away, even egg shells and coffee grinds!

Our family goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing our friends how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what they can do to get started today.
Joel is one of the great men of our time.
Revolutionary. :)
He sure is.
His podcasts I always leave with great insight and information.
Loved this heart warming conversation….Sophie is equally amazing
Thank you, Ashley! 🥰 I really enjoyed this conversation with Joel.
Salatin 2024. Let’s gooo
That is something I would greatly love to have develop on my land. I am 65, my husband is 72 and in poor health. I am running our goat farm by myself. My son lives out of the country and I have a feeling he does not intend to return. It would be awesome to have another pair of hands around here. But we are on SS and there is not much left over to pay for help.
God bless, I finally tuned in to this channel. Thanks for all you do. Congratulations on your cooking book. I will look into it. I enjoyed this segment. I talked with your husband recently and he suggested that I speak with you.
I truly enjoy listening to Joel. He's always an encouragement to me and what I can accomplish on my 5 acres here in Michigan.
If you take the advice to get the small mill, remember to post your hardwood sawdust on the free websites for the mushroom growers. :-) Mushroom growers are also glad to drop a $20 or two for a pickup load of Oak or Maple sawdust.
What a wonderful, inspiring interview. Thank you, Sophie.
Thank you!
Great idea about taking care of elderly people. I’m single with no kids. It would be a great opportunity for a little extra money and even some human interaction.
I see the homestead tsunami all around me, and when you look at the failure rate of 1st gen farms and ranches, it’s important to have realistic expectations. In my case, it was a way to have a lifestyle that basically supported itself. I ended up a full scale, 360 farm, but all I ever wanted was some timber, livestock, acreage, a grass strip to take off and land on. Production was a means of keeping the taxes down. I focused on local at 1st. Huge error. The locals are tried and true people of Walmart. I had to pay my dues for 10 years at swanky farmers markets in Chicago. After 10 years, word of mouth and reputation allowed me to make them come to me. The internet, phone apps, a large scale organic grain operation, even a small spark of local business. The biggest thing is tourism though. I’m nestled in by some great state parks and 2nd home resort properties.
Incredible interview with Joel! One of the best I have seen yet, thank you🌺
Wow, thank you so much!
This was such a thoughtful, deep discussion, and the flow of the conversation was so soul satiating. Thank you and blessings from Limestone TN ❤🙏
Thank you!
Good talk, would love to live this life but land is a fortune right now. Where I live in PA it's 100k per acre. Even the mountain areas are 10k an acre. Covid had everybody scrambling for the rural areas and now there's a big demand for land.
Most people turning to homesteading move which is what you need to do anyway to be in a better climate, weather and political, because a big part of it is to get away from big cities and blue states.
Wonderful interview! Just found your channel. One question: What do we do if we can't remember our 10 year old self, since it's been a mite bit of time?😂
Great interview! What part of Tennessee do you live? Im in Muddy Pond.
Joel, in my part of the world, the wind would soon remove a shed roof built on a cinder block. That sir is what you call low overhead…😳 like you say, the animals never complain about the shed roof not being straight. Defund CAFO’s!
Eco villages in the areas may work ?🧐. To deliver, food. Also pure seeds. Also, Teaching generational wealth thanks.
We made your pho recipe with a few tweaks (couldn't find oxtail or eye of round locally, so used what soup bones we could get)
It was amazing! I'm going to make it again next time I go to someone else's house, because we're off grid and the dishes were too much for our tiny house 😂 but oh my goodness it was so good!
So great to hear! Thanks so much for sharing. We love making Pho becuase it's so versatile in using chicken or beef bones, etc. As long as you keep it nourishing, it's all good!
On the farm -quality care-I thought animals (pigs and cows)should be outside most of the day 🌎🤔
