School Sucks with Homesteads and Homeschools
Homesteads and Homeschools
This weeks guest is the illustrious Brett Veinotte of the School Sucks Project. Brett has been building the School Sucks Project community for over a decade now, and has a wealth of information and experiences to share. Today's episode ended up being more of a dual-interview than a traditional Homesteads and Homeschools interview, but that only made it more fun.
info_outlineChatting today with the Liberty Hippie is one Harold Thornbro. Harold has been running the Modern Homesteading podcast for almost four years and has an incredible backlog of content which you can check out at The Small Town Homestead. (He also runs the Modern Homestead facebook group which runs some 21,000 deep!) We talk about how cancer at 39 gave Harold the push he needed to get back to doing things a little more naturally and how his homestead has grown over the past few years to include a wide variety of practices from permaculture to meat rabbits to a new foray into aquaponics.
Harold is a wealth of information and it was an honor to get him on the show so early on. Check out his website to sign up for his free course "How to Get Started Homesteading, Right Where You Are, Right Now" and sign up for his newsletter to get a free PDF "21 Tips for Homesteading on a Budget."
