- The year 2020 was a catalyst that led many people to chase after the homesteading lifestyle, and Bay is no exception. Fueled by a desire to establish food security for her family, Bay jumped into multiple homesteading endeavors from the get-go and learned a lot along the way. Homesteading can certainly be expensive, but we dive into the reality of living this lifestyle on a tight budget. We also chat about what it is like to pursue your goals in front of an audience on the internet and how we each navigate both the negative and positive feedback. Whether you are working toward your homesteading dream or some other dream, may you be encouraged that you don’t have to wait for the perfect circumstances to get started.
In this episode, we cover:
- The mindset shift that led Bay to jump into homesteading before her circumstances were “perfect”
- What Bay learned from the successes and failures of starting many endeavors at once
- The reality of tackling homesteading projects as a stay-at-home mom of young kids when your spouse is not involved in homesteading
- Thoughts on learning from others’ failures
- Navigating negative feedback when sharing your homesteading endeavors
- How repurposing items can save you money when first starting your homestead
- Exploring the balance between minimalism and essentialism
- Getting creative with repurposing items in your home and property
- Discerning what tools are worth buying and what you can go without
- How the homesteading movement initially took off and why it’s still going strong

Dear Sourdough Queen, my first loaf of sourdough bread is in the oven. Thank you for teaching me. I am 74 and still learning.
Wonderful!
This was a lovely, and human, conversation. Be encouraged, ladies, and continue to have fun.
Lisa, you looked so pretty in this video - and MOST important, you look RESTED and engaged with your guest!! Love it. 😊
I grew up on about 2.5 acres and we had all sorts of stuff going on. It seemed like my dad was always trying new things. At one point or another we had rabbits, chickens, ducks, turkeys, cows, pigs, a peacock once, horses, gardens, goats…. There was always something going on. Haha 😂. It was so fun to grow up like that.
I really enjoy you both sharing about blogging. The negative comments that I see people making on creators vlogs are shocking. I’m just happy that the creator continues to post.
Dear sourdough queen. Just ate my first piece of my bread. So delicious. My husband and I are hooked.
Wonderful!
I have used twine from bales of straw to tie up tomatoes, peppers, or plants that need to be staked in the garden. I use the straw for my bees in the winter for a wind block. Then that straw gets used in my potato garden or as mulch in garden somewhere. That’s when the twine gets used for the plants.
Oh my goodness, I just came across this interview with Bay whom I’ve been following on Instagram. She’s such a cool gal! Thank you for this. 💕
I am the third oldest of 11 and grew up in the 60s. My mother was a minimalist before it was popular. We were like your kids, Lisa. We played outside all day all year round. We had very few toys. I think that was how my mother kept her sanity and why she wasn't constantly cleaning up after us.
It's great to hear from someone who lives in an arid climate like us. We are on the front range of the Rockies in south central Colorado. Gardening definitely isn't for the faint of heart out here, but it can be done! Lots of mulch and deep watering is a must! I'm a trial and error person myself. Sometimes, you've got to jump into it.
I’m there with you on owning things I have to maintain and not use often. We started renting trailers from uhaul if we absolutely needed one. It’s SO cheap compared to purchasing one and keeping tags on it.
Loved this episode. I don't think things will really go back to how they were because people learned through experience just how quickly the rug can be pulled out from underneath us! And anyone with half a brain would want to take that control back for the sakes of their own families
If you cut bailing twine at the knot, you can make ropes and halters with them. I save old wood and rusty chicken wire for making decor. I use old feed bags for drafting sewing patterns.
Back to Eaden gardening was the best garden my family has ever had❤
I dont live on a farm but I add raised bed to my garden every year. Adding a little each year makes it doable🌻🥦🍅
Love the conversation! So true about different stages of life. These are things we forgot or didn’t learn, I think. How to be a mom and grow food during the different stages of life :-)
I'm a minimalist, homesteader, homeschooler, prepper lol. It's possible, we just keep what we need, and try to let go what we really don't need, and try not to buy things we don't really need, like toys, or decorations etc. Yes Lisa, Im minimalistish.. also, it's just about keeping what you truly need, not buying excess, I like essentialism. that's great! I do like to keep our walls, and funiture etc. low, it's less stimulating and more calming for me. Thanks so much, for the great topics and video!
We use baling twine to tie up plants in the garden and actually store it by color in glass jars with rusty tops. We use old feed bags for garbage bags, holding sticks for kindling, and leaves to turn into compost. Thank you for this chat! 😊 I’m cooking up several dishes to use up harvests while listening and trying my first time making Chicken Al A King.
Thank you ❤
My family built a house without having the convenience of a truck. We used our minivan and were continually amazed at what we could fit in there (such as 9 stacked sheets of 1/2" plywood, a clawfoot tub, etc.). It would have been nice to have had a truck & trailer but we made do and it was fine!

Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Lisa! Always happy to listen to your podcasts 🙂
Hi Lisa! I also LOVE to make cheese. Especially butter cheese, mmmm. With all that fresh sage in summer, you should try "Sage Derby" cheese! You guys will would LOVE it! I found baby swiss and Havarti to be fairly easy as well! And BRIE.....Is surprisingly easy! You wouldnt think! Keep up the good work.
Love, Stacy, Mom of 4 grown boys. Married 30 years.
Thanks for the tip!
We use feed bags for trash bags and they are perfect!
What a lovely potcast! One can crochet floor rugs with the twine
Love your mindset!
Lisa yu bring to us so much. Today you are blinking a lot and rocking. Are you so tired? Well of course you are, you have a new baby. I wish you could so sleep somewhere. When you are holding the baby you are so content. It’s great you are doing this interview and taking care of the baby. I like your makeup.
Empty feed bags for trash bags or storage bags is what we did growing up
Is Bay gone from the Internet? I tried following the links in the show notes and she seems to have vanished from all social media?
Great episode 😊
Back to Eden gardening works very well here in NW Ohio. As long as the mulch stays on top of the soil they do not hurt plants at all. You will only have a problem with this method of gardening if you till your garden after putting the mulch down. Hopefully this encourages you to move forward with the back to Eden gardening.
Instead of a tractor, maybe a lawn mower trailer/utility trailer would work? Idk if you have a riding mower, but I think they can haul soil, mulch, building items, etc.
Baling Twine is great for mending fences lol
For the bailing twine could you crochet it in some way?
I love this topic but I want to say that "normal" hasn't returned and we need to continue to be more self sufficient and understand that "they" are trying to drum up another plandemic. I know this can sound negative but it isn't intended to be that. I'm hoping that a great many more people are fully awake.
The plastic feed bags are not good to repurpose in the garden. They breakdown super fast and specs of plastic everywhere.
Lisa, I think U look like the Korean pop group blackpink Jisoo ❤
Why not just use the feed bags as garbage bags instead of buying expensive garbage bags. They are stronger than what you buy.
I do this with reviews too 10000 say good thing and 2 say bad things then I have to tell myself STOP you can’t please all the people and some people you will never please buy it if it for fills your need lol
I am trying to find Bay on IG but can't find her and the link in the description doesn't work.
