Why Homesteaders Fail

Why do so many homesteaders quit before they ever see their gardens thrive or their shelves fill with home-canned food? In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, I sit down with my friend Melissa K. Norris to talk honestly about burnout, expectations that don’t match real life, and the simple habits that make homesteading sustainable. We share personal stories, the mistakes we made, and the practical rhythms that helped us keep going. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, I want this conversation to remind you that homesteading is not about perfection. It is about purpose, persistence, and the joy that comes from doing the work with your own two hands.

Every Home Canner Needs To Know These Things

In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, we're taking the fear out of canning and putting confidence back in your kitchen. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve tried so many tutorials and still don’t feel like I actually know what I’m doing,” or “I’m terrified I’ll waste good food or make my family sick,” this one is for you. I'm breaking canning safety down into simple, step-by-step principles so you can stock your shelves with jars you trust.What we coverWhy a sealed lid alone does not equal safe food, and what actually makes a jar shelf-stable.The pH "line in the sand" at 4.6, why it matters, and how it guides every canning decision.Exactly when boiling water bath canning is safe, and when you must pressure can.How heat, thickness, and circulation inside the jar impact safety.Common myths that lead to botulism risk, and the simple habits that keep you safe.Using approved recipes, what “acidifying” means for tomatoes and borderline foods.Reliable sources for tested recipes, so you’re not stuck in conflicting advice.Key takeawaysHigh-acid foods can be safely water bath canned because molds and yeast are easy to kill at boiling temperatures.Low-acid foods like meats, vegetables, and most full-meal recipes require pressure canning to reliably reach about 250°F.Approved recipes exist to control pH, density, and processing time so you can stop guessing and start knowing.If you can follow a cake recipe, you will be able to can safely at home.Resources mentionedCheck out all our canning resources, and to watch this podcast episode, on the website here: Free Canning Safety Training for visual learners: https://homesteadingfamily.com/podcast-canningTrusted recipe sources: Ball Blue Book, the National Center for Home Food Preservation, and Homestead Kitchen Magazine’s master-preserver approved recipesSponsor A big thank you to Azure Standard for making bulk, vetted pantry staples affordable.

A Former Tech Insider's Warning About the Future

In this episode of the Pantry Chat, I sit down with my friend Rory Groves from @thegrovestead to talk about his family’s journey from a tech career in the city to raising six kids on a homestead in Minnesota.Rory’s story will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt the tug to get out of the rat race and build something lasting with their family. What started with a single tomato plant on a city balcony turned into a thriving homestead of gardens, orchards, and livestock. But more than that, it turned into a way of life intentionally built around faith, family, and meaningful work.Rory is the author of Durable Trades and The Family Economy (links below), books that have encouraged thousands to think differently about how we live, work, and raise our children. In this conversation we dive into:- The slow, steady steps Rory and Becca took toward self-sufficiency- Why it’s vital to build rhythms of joy into the homestead for our kids- What “durable trades” really mean and why they matter today- Rory’s thoughts on AI, technology, and the need to preserve skills that last- Why homesteading isn’t about escaping the world, but preserving something worth passing onCheck out the blog post for links and more information here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/preserving-a-way-of-life-with-rory-groves/Durable Trades: https://homesteadingfamily.com/durable-tradesThe Family Economy: https://homesteadingfamily.com/the-family-economyThis is about more than food or farming—it’s about preserving culture, family, and faith for generations to come.Time Stamps:0:00 - Introduction0:49 - Lehman's1:50 - Main Topic~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MORE ABOUT US!WELCOME!
