Summary: <p>Deep in the woods in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Ohio roams a bearded hillbilly man. He is carving out his existence on his homestead, providing for his family and growing a community of like-minded families. This man is Greg Burns. He is a dedicated husband, dad, homesteader, promotor of Old Ways and leader of tribes called the Lumbersquatches and Get Stuff Done Crew.</p> <p>I have been looking forward to this interview. Greg, his wife and his family have boldly gone where Julie and I want to go: to a homestead in a rural location. Through trial and error, they are learning the Old Ways of how to rear great kids, raise animals, grow food, and develop a sustainable homestead. Greg is practical and straightforward, and I really appreciate his honest insight. He has been there and done that!</p> <p>I am also honored to announce that this podcast is also tied to the launching of the Brand New Nature's Image Farm Webpage - CHECK IT OUT!
