The Homestead Education Podcast https://thehomesteadeducation.podbean.com Everyone deserves an agricultural education — to understand food, land, and responsibility at a scale that fits real life.

Hosted by Kody Hanner, agricultural educator, homeschool mom of six, and lifelong rural advocate, The Homestead Education Podcast explores how accessible, small-scale agricultural education can build capable people, strengthen families, and create resilient local food systems.

Drawing from generations of rural knowledge, educated in animal science, and years of teaching families outside traditional systems, Kody breaks down complex food and education topics into practical, usable skills for homes, classrooms, and communities.

Each week, you’ll hear honest conversations about food systems, small-scale agriculture, homeschooling, and real-world education — designed for families, educators, and anyone who believes we shouldn’t outsource our lives.

Whether you live on acreage, in town, or somewhere in between, this podcast will help you understand where your food comes from, why it matters, and how practical agricultural knowledge can create meaningful change.

They’re about the mindset, skills, and real-life experiences that shape how you live, work, and contribute to the world around you.

And the truth is, more families than ever are questioning traditional education… but many aren’t sure what to replace it with or how to confidently teach their kids real-world skills.

In this episode of The Homestead Education Podcast, Kody Hanner sits down with Daniel Salatin of Polyface Farm to have an honest, practical conversation about learning outside the classroom, building a life through agriculture, and raising kids who are capable, confident, and ready for real life.

From growing up on one of the most well-known regenerative farms to struggling in traditional academics, Daniel shares how hands-on learning, problem-solving, and purpose-driven work shaped his life and why those same principles matter now more than ever.

Together, they talk about what education actually needs to look like, how kids learn best, and why real-life responsibility may be the missing piece for so many families today.

This isn’t just a conversation about farming or homeschooling. It’s about raising a generation that knows how to think, work, and contribute.

If you care about:
  • Raising capable, confident kids
  • Teaching real-life skills through everyday experiences
  • Homeschooling with purpose (not pressure)
  • Preparing kids for the real world—not just tests
  • Building problem-solving and critical thinking skills
  • Creating a lifestyle rooted in responsibility and contribution

This episode will challenge how you think about education and remind you what actually matters.

In This Episode, We Cover:
  • Daniel’s upbringing on Polyface Farm and his homeschool journey
  • Why traditional education doesn’t work for every child
  • The importance of problem-solving over memorization
  • How real-life responsibility creates motivation to learn

  • Why agriculture and homesteading create natural learning environments
  • The transition into leadership at Polyface Farm

Education doesn’t require perfect systems, perfect curriculum, or perfect timing.

It starts with a decision—to teach differently, to live intentionally, and to give your kids the skills they actually need.

And the truth is, more people than ever are craving a slower, more self-sufficient life… but many feel like they don’t have enough land, time, or experience to even begin.

In this episode of The Homestead Education Podcast, Kody Hanner sits down with Mary Lewis — host of A Tiny Homestead Podcast & Grit and Graceland in the Heartland Podcast to have an honest, real-life conversation about what homesteading actually looks like day-to-day.

Together, they talk about the realities of gardening, raising food, learning new skills, and redefining what it means to “be a homesteader” — whether you have acres of land or just a small backyard.

This isn’t just a conversation about homesteading. It’s about learning to live differently with purpose, creativity, and a willingness to grow.

If you care about:

  • Starting a homestead later in life
  • Building a self-sufficient lifestyle without overwhelm
  • Growing food in any space (big or small)
  • Learning homesteading skills step-by-step

  • Why homesteading is a mindset, not a measure of land or animals
  • The transition from city living to rural life

  • The importance of starting small and building skills over time
  • Balancing homestead work without burnout or overwhelm

🔥 Final Thought

Information is one of the most powerful tools we have in agriculture.

The more we understand where it comes from — and how to interpret it — the more equipped we are to make decisions that support our families, our food systems, and our future.

And the truth is — there are opportunities for food, resources, and self-sufficiency sitting right in our own backyards… if we’re willing to look a little closer.

In this episode of The Homestead Education Podcast, Kody Hanner sits down with David Knudson of Montana Maple Works to talk about the surprising world of tapping trees for syrup in the Western U.S. — and what it really takes to turn sap into something usable, valuable, and even profitable.

From tapping city trees to navigating regulations, building a business from scratch, and teaching others along the way — David shares how curiosity turned into a full-blown maple syrup operation, and what that means for homesteaders and families looking to learn new skills.

From understanding tree types and sap flow to the reality of how much work goes into a single gallon of syrup — this episode breaks down both the science and the practicality behind it all.

This isn’t just about maple syrup. It’s about recognizing the resources around you — and learning how to use them.

If you care about:

  • Learning practical, real-life homesteading skills
  • Alternative ways to source sugar and natural resources
  • Small-scale production and turning skills into income
  • Understanding trees, seasons, and natural systems
  • Building resilience and self-sufficiency at home

This episode will open your eyes to what’s possible — even in places you might not expect.

In This Episode, We Cover:
  • How maple syrup production works — from sap to finished product
  • Why the West hasn’t traditionally tapped trees (and why that’s changing)
  • What types of trees can be tapped beyond sugar maples
  • The realities of sap-to-syrup ratios and production time
  • How David built a business from a simple idea
  • The challenges of regulations and accessing trees
  • Why learning skills like this matters for long-term self-sufficiency

Education is shifting. And in 2026, the question isn’t if things need to change — it’s how we do better moving forward.

In this Season 7 kickoff episode of The Homestead Education Podcast, Kody Hanner takes a hard look at the current state of agriculture, the rise of AI and digital influence, and the growing disconnect between people and their food.

From the dilution of farming practices under trending labels to the increasing reliance on broken education systems, this episode breaks down what’s actually happening — and what families, educators, and communities can do about it.

This isn’t about turning everyone into a farmer. It’s about raising a generation that understands food, land, and responsibility.

If you care about:

  • Food security and self-sufficiency

  • Agriculture education for kids and families

  • Homesteading, small-scale farming, and real-life skills

  • The impact of AI and media on learning and culture

This episode will challenge the way you think — and give you a path forward.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • What’s really happening in agriculture in 2026

  • How AI and online content are shaping (and distorting) education

  • The problem with “trendy” farming movements losing their roots

  • Why traditional systems are failing to prepare capable adults

  • How small-scale agriculture education can rebuild stronger communities

  • Practical ways families can start taking back control of their food and learning

I also talk about our plan to bring home a new working male dog, what we’re looking for in a ranch-ready name, and how we’re navigating the emotions of change while keeping the homestead running.

Then I dive into my annual New Year reflection, including my word-of-the-year approach (reemerge, redefine, and bringing it home), what’s shifting in our family and business, and why executive functioning matters for both kids and adults. I explain how homesteading naturally builds real-life skills through purpose, cause and effect, and responsibility, share details about my free Executive Functioning for Homestead Kids download, and give an update on our student planners—plus the launch of the new Junior Homestead Student Planner.

From late-night disturbances to injuries on multiple dogs, this episode explores the reality of relying on a guardian dog to protect a farm and the emotional weight of not knowing what happened.

I also address common misconceptions about working dogs, especially livestock guardian breeds like Great Pyrenees—how they’re raised, why they live differently than house pets, and why pet standards don’t always apply to working roles. Drawing from my background with hunting, herding, and farm dogs, I explain the difference between livestock guardians and farm guardians and invite listeners to think critically about breed-specific needs, farm protection, and respectful support during hard seasons.

They break down real-life preparedness for normal people: families, single parents, seniors, urban dwellers, and rural homesteaders who want to be ready for power outages, job loss, medical emergencies, and everyday “mini disasters” long before a comet hits the earth.

From emergency binders and car kits to bartering, community support, and skill-based prepping, this conversation will help you rethink preparedness as a practical, affordable, and deeply caring way to protect your family.

She traces its origins from FDR’s 1939 program to today’s SNAP, uncovering how a system designed to feed the hungry gradually created a culture of dependency. Drawing from her own experience as a single mother who once relied on food assistance, Kody offers a compassionate yet challenging perspective on how modern policies, education gaps, and processed food industries have eroded our connection to real food and the skills to provide it.

She reminds listeners that if those in power control the food, they control the people. Through history, statistics, and personal reflection, Kody urges families to reclaim their independence by learning to cook, grow, and nourish themselves. She calls for a return of home economics and small-scale agriculture to schools, stronger nutrition education, and support for farmers—the very people who sustain our nation. This thought-provoking conversation challenges the idea that aid alone can solve hunger and points toward a future where resilience, knowledge, and self-reliance take the lead.

Mary opens up about her journey from homeschooling mom to a trusted voice in traditional food. Her books aren’t just cookbooks—they’re hands-on guides for anyone ready to make simple, wholesome meals at home. We discuss the free K–12 cooking curriculum she created, the value of real-life skills such as rendering lard, making broth, and baking from scratch, and how she teaches in a way that’s encouraging—not overwhelming.

]]> Are you ready to think outside the milk jug?

Rachel Hester from Whoopsy Daisy Farm tells about her journey to raising dairy sheep and their deep-rooted history. While she was beginning her journey, she realized that there was minimal information available on sheep dairying. This led Rachel to write her book The Guide to Homestead Dairy Sheep to share the information she has acquired and vetted to help you explore the dairy sheep.

We recognize the shortcomings in the system and want to create a better childhood and a better future for our kids—one where they are free to be creative, healthy, active, smart, resilient, and resourceful. But as simple as that kind of life sounds, it’s not always easy. 

Today’s podcast guest gets it. Ginny Yurich is the genius behind the 1000 Hours Outside movement and the author of the upcoming book Until the Streetlights Come On! Ginny discovered the benefits of unstructured outside play when her children were small. She was surprised to find that most children spend 1200 hours every year on a screen, and she began experimenting with the idea of spending hours upon hours outside with her kids in response to that notion. Ginny talks about the technological advances and modern-day comforts that are actually harming our children’s health, and social, mental, emotional, and physical development. If you have children in your life, check out the full episode to learn more about the 1000 Hours Outside movement and how you can raise happy, healthy, well-rounded kids in this tech-heavy culture.

But have you ever wondered what is up with sourdough? In the last few years, sourdough’s been blowing up the internet as people all across the world try their hand at baking tangy, complex, DIY loaves and recipes. In today's episode, we'll tell you how the sourdough craze got its start and how you can jump on the bandwagon just in time for your next bowl of soup. 

Today’s podcast guest Kristen Stinson is the owner of The Curated Farm and my new go-to gal for all things sourdough. Kristen started her business as a way to connect with her community after moving to a 10-acre farm in rural Eastern WA. What began as a business to sell farm-grown calendula products at local farmers markets, quickly morphed into teaching sourdough classes to hundreds of people. Kristen recently was a speaker for the Modern Homesteading Conference in Idaho where she shared her knowledge and encouraged others in their sourdough journey.

She loves helping people get back to their roots and learn a skill that they can share with their families and communities, whether they’re living on a 50-acre farm or in an apartment downtown.

 

If you’ve ever tried and failed to make great sourdough or you’d like to give it a first-time shot, Kristen’s tips can tricks will give you the confidence you need to start baking and keep your sourdough alive and well—even if you’re an infrequent baker. Check out the full episode, and leave a review if you want to hear more episodes like this one!

Marlin and Lisa explain how homesteading has provided a safe, stable, and healthy environment where their children can truly bloom.

Special needs children have stolen the Millers’ heart and inspired them to create organizations that bring support and dignity to kids with special needs all around the world and help families who are eager to adopt children with special needs get finances, support, and advocacy for their adoption journey. 

Join us as we navigate the remarkable story behind the Room To Bloom Foundation and the Juneberry Hill Schoolhouse. Through these non-profit organizations, the Millers are giving a voice to the vulnerable.

For many parents, covid was the catalyst that woke up a deep-seated desire to take back responsibility for our children’s educational and emotional well-being. But is homeschooling really the answer to a broken system? Can we really meet all of our kids’ needs inside the four walls of our home?

 

Today’s podcast guest says, yes! A quality education might be more accessible than you think. Meet Mandy Davis, a former elementary school principal turned homemaker, homeschooler, and homesteader. Together we talk about our experiences with the public school system and its inability to serve kids that don’t fit the mold due to neurodiversity and learning styles. We touch on some hot topics like parental consent, informal education, child-led learning, and more!

“When I sat down with my husband to figure out that plan, it was not a plan without sacrifice because we were going from two incomes to a single income. It was, ‘This is going to be worth it because it's the life we want to live, and I'm okay giving up these other things.’ I wanted to find that peace and joy in my own home.” - Mandy Davis, HomeBuilt Education

But as modern homesteaders with an image to maintain, it’s still okay to embrace convenience! In today’s episode, Bonnie Jones of Grain Maker Grain Mills shows us how we can have the best of both: convenience through innovation and hard-earned self-sufficiency.  

 

Bonnie and her husband were homeschool parents facing the Y2K scare of 1999 when they began their venture into grain milling as a home business and disaster preparation plan. The very first GrainMaker® mill was designed when they were raising their family, homeschooling their children and generally learning to become more self-sufficient-or "God-reliant." Today, they’ve perfected their heirloom quality hand-operated and motorized mill that boasts a rustic homestead aesthetic, durability, and versatility. They still own and operate their flourishing home business, GrainMaker Grain Mills, and share their love for baking bread with homesteaders and homeschoolers at conferences across the country.

“We may not ever be the largest grain mill manufacturer in the world, but we really wanted to have a good name and do our very best. We're constantly growing and changing because of all the things that people are finding out and teaching us.” - Bonnie Jones, Grain Maker

]]> As homesteaders, we like to be prepared for anything - with a little grit and determination. But as modern homesteaders with an image to maintain, it’s still okay to embrace convenience! In today’s episode, Bonnie Jones of Grain Maker Grain Mills shows us how we can have the best of both: convenience through innovation and hard-earned self-sufficiency.  

 

Bonnie and her husband were homeschool parents facing the Y2K scare of 1999 when they began their venture into grain milling as a home business and disaster preparation plan. The very first GrainMaker® mill was designed when they were raising their family, homeschooling their children and generally learning to become more self-sufficient-or "God-reliant." Today, they’ve perfected their heirloom quality hand-operated and motorized mill that boasts a rustic homestead aesthetic, durability, and versatility. They still own and operate their flourishing home business, GrainMaker Grain Mills, and share their love for baking bread with homesteaders and homeschoolers at conferences across the country.
