About this episode
CJ covers seasonal planning for your first homesteading year, including what to prioritise in each season, how to avoid doing too much too fast, and why simple routines + record-keeping make everything easier.
Main takeaway: keep it small, grow what your family eats, and review what worked so year two is easier.
Also includes a quick personal update on CJ’s recovery and how it’s shaped this year’s plans.
