About This Podcast

In Dawn's Dirt Podcast, seasoned farmer-turned-coach Dawn brings you the raw, unfiltered truth about everything from the ground up. From soil science and homestead self-sufficiency to the complexities of food freedom, Dawn dives into every gritty detail to help you grow your own food and create a sustainable homestead that breaks free from the grocery store chains. Guided by the mantra "No Farmers, No Food," Dawn sheds light on why growing our own food and building a homestead lifestyle matters, connecting us to the earth—and each other. Join Dawn each week as she digs into conversations with farmers, homestead experts, wellness coaches, and voices from all walks of life. From gardening, homestead living, and sustainable practices to discussions on religion, politics, and society, no topic is off the table. Here, "dirt" goes beyond soil; it's about uncovering the deeper truths and resilience that come with homesteading and independent living. So roll up your sleeves, get your hands in the dirt, and let Dawn inspire you to reclaim your independence, one seed—and one homestead story—at a time.
