Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode eighteen of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.  In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into the importance of the hard and worthy work of homesteading. I will never tell you this life isn’t for you, but I also won’t lie and tell you it's without its hardships. This life is beautiful, will push you beyond your limits, will open your eyes to what you’re capable of and is full of more rewards than I can count.
