Evan Richards of Flatlander Estate HomesteadHearth Fathers is a podcast where rural fathers are asked to reflect on their relationship with their home, land, and legacy.In a fast world, Hearth Fathers is a slow and deliberate podcast; our conversations are not rushed but instead seek to glean wisdom about life from fathers who live in the country. Before you listen, consider pouring a drink, getting comfortable, and slowing down yourself.Keep the fire burning.Evan is a newcomer to Vermont and to living in the country, but that has not stopped him from diving headfirst into challenges. He was gracious enough to sit down with me to discuss the challenges he, his wife, and their young son faced in their first years on the homestead and meeting those challenges with grace. We reference a fun chicken video in this podcast, and you can see it and other homesteading moments on Evan’s X account, @VTFlatlander. Episodes of Hearth Fathers are free and release on Saturday mornings. Paid subscribers are granted access a week early. This is a public episode.
