EZ Farms Homestead Podcast
Hi! I'm Les, and I'm Christy; and we're here to help guide you and your family to a more self-sufficient way of life.
In today's world of wars and rumors of wars, economic crisis, and natural disasters, your current way of living can change at any time.
We're a family that has been homesteading and prepping for over 25 years, and we're here to help you start setting up a more self-sufficient way of life.
Come along with us as we continue to set up our family homestead, experiencing the ups and downs, successes and failures, while trying different ideas to see what works and doesn't work during the current economic situation instead of waiting for the next preverbal shoe to drop.
Join us as we set up a legacy for our children and future grand children at EZ Farms, where we are doing things from the ground up.
