Southern Exposure Seed Exchange

2. https://www.southernexposure.com/ – We lived a good portion of our married life in Virginia and were lucky to have Thomas Jefferson’s Heirloom Garden at Monticello withing driving range. We order our seeds for the garden from this company first because we trust the seeds.

Polyface Farms

3. https://www.polyfacefarms.com/library/ – When we first started out researching for our future homestead, we bought and read most of Joel Salatin’s books available at the time. We also check this list of resources on his website for the next book to read. Joel’s videos are amazing and we model our homestead based mostly on what we have learned from him.

The Prairie Homestead

4. https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/ – Jill is where I began researching this homesteading journey. I had already crossed paths with her family online through homeschooling and was excited to read about her homesteading hacks as well. This was an excellent place to start. Now she has grown into teaching specifics of homemaking and homesteading.

Justin Rhodes – You Tube

5. https://youtu.be/1B-1oqo0qSQ – Justin Rhodes You Tuber that I learn from a lot. He has guinea hogs and we also have them. It is not too often that we find other homesteaders with guinea hogs. I love that they garden with lost cost easy to use tools that are friendly to the soil. After an episode or 2 of watching this family, you will love them too.

I hope that these homesteaders are as helpful to your family as they are to ours. If you have some favorite websites, books or you tubers that you love to follow for homesteading, please share them in comments below. I’m always looking to bounce ideas off other homesteaders. Thanks for visiting!
