051: Jill Winger on being "Old Fashioned On Purpose"

  • Summary

  • The homesteading movement is going strong and, with it, there is an ever growing list of resources available to those that are forging ahead with the lifestyle. It’s critically important that we have access to guidance and instruction as we branch out and begin to learn many of the old ways of living that have been lost to convenience and consumerism. That being said, I think it’s also important to zoom out and talk about the why’s, and the context, of a modern world that is driving so many to this way of living.


    Well today I welcome Jill Winger of the Prairie Homestead to the podcast. Jill is an author, blogger, YouTuber, speaker and educator who has become one of the foundational personalities in the modern homesteading movement. Her ability to teach practical skills as well as bring context and meaning to the lifestyle is what, in my opinion, make her such a valuable resource to the countless people who are striving to live a better life.
