A Lovely Place Called Home
This podcast is a practical tool for your homesteading toolbelt. Each episode walks through the real numbers, systems, and decisions behind building a working homestead — not the aesthetic version, the functional one. We break down cost analyses, infrastructure planning, off-grid setups, livestock math, garden yields, land considerations, and whether an idea actually makes financial and logistical sense for your life.
If you’ve ever wondered “Could we really do this?” — this is where we run the numbers and find out. No hype. No fantasy. Just clear thinking, grounded strategy, and honest evaluation so you can build something stable, sustainable, and strong for your family.
5 Spring Tasks That Set Your Homestead Up for Success All Summer Ep.12
In this episode of A Lovely Place Called Home Podcast, we’re talking about 5 practical things you can do in the spring to set your homestead up for success all summer long.
Summer on a homestead gets busy fast. Gardens explode with growth, projects pile up, animals need constant care, and before long it can feel like you’re always reacting instead of moving forward. Over the years, I’ve realized that the homesteads that function the best during summer are usually the ones that prepared properly during spring.
In this episode, I’m sharing the exact things we focus on every year before the busy season arrives, including:
- Why we always plant extra vegetable starts
- How planning income streams ahead of time reduces stress later
- The importance of securing payments and presales early in the season
- Why cleaning and resetting the outside of the homestead matters more than people think
- How mapping out your summer calendar ahead of time can completely change your season
Whether you’re running a full homestead, building a small farm business, growing a large garden, or simply trying to live more intentionally at home, this episode is full of practical systems that can help your summer run smoother and feel less overwhelming.
Topics discussed in this episode: spring homestead preparation, market gardening, homestead business planning, CSA planning, presales, gardening systems, homestead productivity, intentional living, seasonal planning, and creating a functional homestead lifestyle.
