It’s time to dig into one of my favorite topics: true independence and off-grid living. Curtis Stone is a renowned small-farm educator and author of The Urban Farmer who has built a thriving 40-acre homestead in British Columbia. We trace his journey from punk-rock musician to urban farmer, and how a brutal winter storm in Montreal sparked the realization of just how fragile our modern systems are. Curtis also gets into the realities of homesteading: what it takes to live seasonally on the land, why fencing and livestock dogs are non-negotiable, how to protect against fire, and the importance of building community with your neighbors.
