Welcome to episode five of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. If you're new here, I'm so glad you're here. And if you've been with us for a while, I'm so glad you're here, too! This is the first in a series of questions and answers where we're answering your questions based on various topics you all asked on social media. Today is the homestead edition, which is why Miah is joining me on the podcast. This is his area of expertise, and I'm glad to have him here. For more information, visit the blog post here.
