Ever wondered what it truly means to “cook like a homesteader”? In this episode, we sit down with Mel Matthews, creator of The Homestead Fam and author of Cook Like a Homesteader.
Mel shares her journey of balancing motherhood with her entrepreneurial spirit, all while living on two acres with her husband and three little ones under five.
From raising chickens, ducks, and rabbits to simplifying meals during busy seasons, she offers a refreshing take on self-sufficient living—without the overwhelm.

Plus, with pre-orders opening next month, now’s the perfect time to get inspired!
