A lot of people are afraid to start homesteading because they’re concerned about the costs, or how to make money homesteading.
In today’s episode of What The Cluck?!, I talk to Roe Harris of Harris Homestead – Sumterville, FL.

You’ll learn:
- How Roe started and maintains her meat chicken business
