Many years ago I left the city life and the rat race to homestead in an ecovillage in rural Missouri. Now I set my own schedule as a digital homesteader, working part time to make ends meet while I grow as much of my own food as possible.
In so many homesteading videos they seem to talk about their gardens and give you a tour, but rarely do they seem to show you what they’re actually harvesting and eating. Many will also exaggerate the amount of food they’re growing for themselves. I don’t do that. I’ll show you what I harvest and I’ll be realistic about the limits of what I can produce for myself.
I always hope my videos will give inspiration to some to ditch the 9-5 and live a simpler life off the land. And don’t forget to cooperate with your neighbors because it’s impossible to go it alone.

Hi Dan,
This was a great video. I had hoped to visit DRE before the visitor season, but it just didn’t work out Your comments about fresh edamame vs. frozen made me realize I only buy frozen. I’ll have to find and try fresh edamame.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your life.
Hi Dianne, thanks for the positive feedback on the video! Yes, you’ve got to find some fresh edamame.
