In this episode of Handmade Happiness, we explore how large-scale commercial farming practices have shaped modern agriculture—and why homesteads don’t need to follow the same model. From soil health to sustainability to the joy of growing food on a smaller, human scale, we’ll talk about practical ways to break free from “big ag” thinking and embrace methods that fit our families, land, and values.
