This week we’re talking Urban Homesteading and why it doesn’t have to be the case that you own or live on acreage before you start homesteading.

In this episode of the Rustic Spirits Podcast, we dive into the trending topic of A.I.—not because it’s trending, but because it’s here. We explore what this massive acceleration in technological developments means for those of us striving for a simpler life through sustainability and self-sufficiency, without dismissing new technology outright.
