Whew, this conversation was so good! Lacey and her husband are homesteading in North Carolina, and I noticed they're in a town that I was actually really hoping to find a house in, so that felt kind of Kismet to start off - but there's just so much more that she does that resonates and interests me! My favorite thing we talked about was the food clubs they're organizing to help make sure their community has access to healthy, fresh, local food. How awesome is that? I'll be heading to visit them once I'm settled to see what they've got going on, and how I can take part/contribute to the food club, and I'm so excited about that! They also are teaching their children the ins and outs of homesteading, like using whole animal, and why that's important. Also the value of community (you know I love that!) and taking care of each other. Lacey is so smart, and she and her husband Drew host their own podcast called The Schoolhouse Life, where they talk about these same things and more.I learned so much from talking with Lacey!
