The Girly Homesteader Podcast

Laura Millat runs a 7-acre homestead in Ohio with her husband, chickens, bees, and a garden that keeps expanding. Her podcast proudly bills itself as not the typical homestead show, and that tracks. Laura blends traditional homesteading content like garden planning, food preservation, and beekeeping basics with lifestyle topics like skincare routines, seasonal self-care, and her monthly favorite things roundups. It is a refreshing take that acknowledges you can care about nitrogen fertilizer and a good moisturizer at the same time. With over 220 episodes and counting, the show publishes weekly and stays remarkably consistent. Episodes run around 25 to 30 minutes, all solo, and Laura speaks with the kind of unfiltered honesty that makes you feel like you are catching up with a neighbor over coffee. She shares her garden brain dumps at the start of each season, talks through what worked and what flopped, and is not afraid to admit when something went sideways. Listeners rate the show 4.7 stars on Apple Podcasts and frequently mention how real and relatable she is. The Girly Homesteader fills a niche that a lot of homesteading content misses. It is for people who love getting their hands dirty but also want to talk about the rest of life that happens between chores. The production is straightforward and unpretentious, which fits the vibe perfectly.
