"For 18 years my husband and I both worked day jobs off the farm...so we had to have systems in place to still be able to farm and to raise as much of our food as we possibly could"

Melissa K Norris is a 5th generation homesteader, a mother, an author, a podcaster and an incredible wealth of experience and information on how to thrive living close to the land.

Her hard and fast rules for her kids and food
Her insight onto the many ways to earn income from your farm (I promise there'll be ones in here you've never thought of!)
And how she does it all...including being able to look like she hasn't just come off a farm when she actually has!
