Homesteady - Stories of Living off the Land

Austin Martin has been running Squash Hollow Farm and creating homesteading content for over a decade, and Homesteady is where he collects stories about putting food on the table from fields, streams, gardens, and woodlands. The podcast leans into the interview format, bringing on other homesteaders, farmers, and off-grid folks to share their real experiences living off the land. With 144 episodes released on a semimonthly schedule since 2014, this is a long-running show that has built up a solid library of practical conversations. Episodes run between 25 and 54 minutes, which is a good length for focused topics without dragging. Recent episodes have covered homesteading profitability, dairy animal comparisons (cows vs. goats is always a good debate), YouTube monetization for homestead businesses, and the financial lessons that come from off-grid mistakes. What listeners consistently point out is the honesty. Austin and his guests share their failures right alongside their successes, which makes the advice feel trustworthy rather than aspirational. The show holds a 4.6 rating from 587 reviews, which is a strong signal that it has resonated with its audience over the years. Austin also runs a YouTube channel tied to the podcast, so if you like what you hear, there is video content to match. This one is a great fit if you prefer hearing from a range of voices and real-world perspectives rather than a single host talking at you.
