Summary

Jill Winger is the founder of The Prairie Homestead (one of the first homesteading websites and blogs on the internet), a cornerstone of the modern homesteading movement since 2010. Jill and her family pursue a lifestyle of modern-homesteading on the wide open prairies of Wyoming. They dabble in a variety of small-scale agricultural endeavors including organic gardening, grass-fed beef cattle, home dairying, poultry, and more.

Jill’s practical and authentic style of teaching and storytelling has won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of homesteaders through her best-selling cookbook, across social media, and via her top-ranked Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast. She blogs at The Prairie Homestead where she encourages others to return to their roots, no matter where they live. She is passionate about helping people recapture old-fashioned skills that have been lost in our push towards progress and helping them find the purpose and meaning that comes from that.

0:00.0	Where do you suggest that people start with home study?
0:03.0	I'm sure that you get this all the time, but yeah, I feel like, you know,
0:06.8	there's so many ways you can enter it and there's so many old-fashioned skills
0:10.3	that are worthwhile. So people kind of, you know, if they're
0:13.9	just dipping their toe in the water, go with what speaks to you. What's making you
0:16.4	the most excited? If you're still unsure, start with the food.
0:19.5	Home setting is all about the food. We eat three times a day, we have so many options
0:24.0	and opportunities to make choices around what we eat, how we prepare it,
0:28.6	how we buy it, if we're buying local, if we're buying direct from the farm.
0:32.0	So that just gives you a lot of entry points. Now the average American spends
0:36.3	less than 37 minutes per day in the kitchen and that's divided up between three
0:41.3	meals. One of the most old-fashioned things you can do
0:44.0	as a modern person is just to get in there and start using your kitchen and
0:48.2	start figuring out how to make things. And not only is that going to

0:55.2	you're eating because we're really wired to use our hands and create things.
0:59.5	Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast. Katie thoroughly enjoyed
1:03.8	the interview you're about to listen to between her, Katie and Jill Winger.
1:09.3	And I'm excited to share this episode with you because I thoroughly enjoyed it as well.
1:13.2	But before we dive into today's episode, I wanted to let you know,
1:18.1	as we've already done before, but I'm going to let you know again, that the growth
