Have you felt it? Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.

Description

I'm Jill Winger, and, as young newlyweds, my husband Christian and I craved something more than the typical American existence. So we bought a tumbledown old farmhouse and subsequently stumbled upon the modern homesteading lifestyle.

We weren't born into a rural way of life, so we made ALL the mistakes at the beginning. But over the years, after a LOT of trial and error, we’ve figured out some pretty cool systems that allow us to grow a huge portion of our food AND create the simpler, more intentional life we’ve always wanted.

Through the weekly videos I share on my channel, I'll break down the more complex aspects of homesteading for you which will drastically shorten your learning curve as you look to cook from-scratch, grow amazing organic food, and live life on YOUR terms in every way possible.
