Episode description
As homesteaders, it's easy to get caught up in the idea of self-sufficiency. However, the practice of building community is one of the most old-fashioned skills we can cultivate.
In this podcast episode, I'm honored to be joined by Norm Van Eeden Petersman from Strong Towns, a nonprofit dedicated to building community. If you're looking for a roadmap to reviving a town or bolstering other types of community, you will LOVE this episode.
