    On this latest episode, Ian chats with Dave and Amanda. Situated in the hills of Algoma, Northern Ontario, Dave and Amanda are building their homestead by embracing the surrounding wilderness. Working sustainably with what is seasonally available on and around the Wilderstead, they use their website, Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube channel to document their adventures while becoming self-reliant with one full time and one part time “Wildersteader”. They add a different perspective to the existing community of similar websites and Youtube channels. They differ from most homesteading websites and Youtubers, because they supplement what they can grow and raise theirselves with what we can forage and catch in nature. They differ from most outdoor adventure and bushcraft blogs because this is their lifestyle and not their hobby. They hope their website and videos will be useful to people that also want to be more self-reliant, in particular, in colder climates like northern Ontario.

    On this latest episode, Ian chats with Mallorie and Ben, fulltime homesteaders, trying to revive a neglected 1800's 200 acre homestead. Located in cold zone 3 Quebec, they have to deal with the challenges of a very short growing season and deep deep snow in the winter. Due to a serious accident in Afghanistan with the Canadian Forces in 2007, Ben suffers from chronic back pain and PTSD. In turn, Mallorie and Ben rely heavily on a lot of machinery to help out with the heavy lifting on the farm: a skidder to harvest the wood from their beautiful mixed wood forest, farm tractors, a Kubota Excavator, and a saw mill to make all of their building materials. They are also big on reusing and recycling, so sometimes their buildings may be a bit unconventional, but it works for them.

  • Welcome to the Connected To The Land podcast, sponsored by Peavey Mart. On this latest episode, Ian chats with Gareth Martin. Over the last 10 years, Gareth and family embarked on a journey to grow more of their food in a sustainable way in the big city of Edmonton, Alberta. They started by tearing up their grass and planting a large garden and food forest, then added some chickens for eggs. They loved it but yearned for more growing space and larger animals. In June 2021, they decided to leave both of their careers and build a homestead on an island in Ontario. They moved to a 180 year old limestone house with 10 acres to try their hands at creating a homestead and continuing their love of growing their own food, building a relationship with this land and building a community rooted in sustainable and regenerative farming. Here they are today with fifteen chickens, lots of work to do and some big plans for the future.

  • Welcome to the Connected To The Land podcast, sponsored by Peavey Mart. On this latest episode, Ian chats with Lynn McKay of Ewetopia Farms. Lynn was born and raised a "city girl" until her acquisition of a small farm in Alberta in 2000 when she purchased her first Shetland sheep. Since then, she moved to London, Ontario where she became heavily involved in breeding and showing Shetland sheep. As the niche market for Shetlands became saturated, Lynn changed her focus from wool sheep to meat sheep and purchased her first Dorper sheep. She sold these as breeding stock and placed well in the show ring at major events such as Toronto's Royal Winter Agricultural Fair for several years.

    After another move and a divorce, the Dorpers had to be sold and she only kept a pet-flock of Shetland sheep. However, now Lynn is back in the sheep industry with Suffolk sheep. In 2006, Lynn partnered with Arnie Droogh and in 2010 they purchased their first Suffolks and together established Ewetopia Farms.
