Love your concise information

I have been working my way through the many, many Pioneering Today podcasts so I can learn skills that could come in handy whether out of thriftiness or necessity. Even the podcasts that don't really apply to me like raising my own cattle are great to listen to and learn from. I hope to start making my own medicines soon and preserving some food. Thank you so much Melissa!

As a fairly newbie to the homesteading lifestyle I have been binging your podcast and love it! Most, if not all the podcasts can help in one way or another and I'm so glad you added the verse of the week!!! Keep up the great work Melissa and thank you for all you do! - Jessica R #Godgiftedartistry
