Main content of the show
My husband and I have lived in Montana for 28 years and for a large part of that time, we "prepped," or "homesteaded," or whatever you want to call it. We have about 30 hens and one very spoiled rooster, raise pigs, and have a large garden and orchard. I can and preserve as much as I am able. We're both in our mid-50s now and starting to realize that we have to do things differently than we did in our 20s and 30s. I thought our experiences might be useful to others.
- How did we end up in Montana?
- Did we know we wanted to do this when we came here?
- How did our homestead evolve?
- What changes have we had to make because of age?
- What would we do differently looking back?
- What opportunities do we see going forward?
