Homesteaders of America is an organization created by homesteaders, for homesteaders. We believe in living a simple life. We believe in modern and conservative homesteading. And we believe in making homesteading normal again. We are men, women, children, old, young, college educated and high school drop outs. We are simply people taking control of our lives. Growing gardens, raising farm animals, and becoming self-sufficient-in a backyard, on a rooftop, or on 100 acres.
Our 2017 conference will be held in Warrenton, Virginia at the Fauquier County Fairgrounds on Saturday October 14th.

Ruthann is amazing. I would love to hear the story of the last “surprise” child. Is he adopted too? He looks like you! You are an amazing mom, homemaker and homesteader. I have become addicted to your videos.
You are a great speaker! You should do it more. Hunour goes a long way. You have a very interesting story and a lullabies way of bringing it out. Great Job, Ruthann!
I was interested by the misgivings around solar energy. It feels to me like a good alternative to being dependent on the grid. I guess it makes me ask, what don't I know?
Thank you for this podcast. I can't help but wonder, if eating bugs and lab grown meat ever becomes the norm, what happens to all the meat animals? Are they put into zoo's, or do they become extinct? How is that "good" for them? (Animal wefare people)
Happy this video came up in my feed. New subbie 😊. We have both the NM Classic and Harvest Mills. Been using the Harvest exclusively for 9ish months. Love it. Gary sent me a gadget to help turn the adjustment knob - I’m disabled with both hands. Wow what a game changer! Thanks again, Gary! Can’t mill popcorn in the Harvest but the Classic no problem. Want to mill Dent Corn and not sure if the Harvest can handle it. Fingers crossed. Thanks for a great podcast! ❤
I’ve used wheat that was stored properly for 23 years was wonderful both hard red and hard white. Wish I could get more of it! No weight gain in our journey to freshmilled flours in fact lost weight.
ALL carbohydrates digest as GLUCOSE! GLUCOSE feeds cancer! I RESOLVED stage 3 endometrial cancer as a CARNIVORE in conjunction with chemotherapy. I followed Prof Thomas Seyfried's protocol of therapeutic ketosis. I will never eat grains or sugar again!
Every time I eat gluten, my legs break out with eczema. My back, chest and neck gets little bumps. I don't think I have celiac, but gluten seems to do this to me. I went off gluten for 6 months, then tried organic bread and the eczema and bumps came back. So, I don't know what else to do.
even organic in the store is different than home milled. Reach out to someone on media to see if someone near you may make home milled. Good place to start is perhaps if you have amish near you
Organic is not at all in the ballpark of fresh milled even organic flour has all its nutrients stripped out of it. It’s those nutrients your body needs. I was having night hives my dr could not figure out the cause so his answer was take this medicine after two different ones that didn’t work the third one did but I could not deal with taking a medicine for the rest of my life. I dug I researched and stumbled on to Sue Becker and her science behind the results people were having with fresh milled flour I thought what have I got to loose? My hives? I’m going for it got mill, wheat and off I went two loaves of bread later I decided to not take the medicine nothing happed that night so in my wisdom😉 I thought the medicine is just built up in my system second night no hives third night no hives Eureka! Maybe I’m on to something here so two weeks in I forgot to eat my two slices of bread since I was never a bread eater that night I woke at 3 am itching all over so I got up and was eating bread at 3:15 a.m.! It immediately calmed down and I was asleep by 4 am? I’m a believer! I baked a loaf and took it to my dr he asked how the medication was working 🤷♀️ not taking it! This was three months later. He asked about my hives don’t have them as long as I eat this! Asked him why it was working and he peered inside the bag and said this looks like homemade bread! Yep, I made it so tell me why it stops my night hives. He said, what did you put in it? I said I mill the wheat into flour and he stopped me! THATS IT! What’s it? He said you needed the nutrients in that wheat the vitamin e I interrupted and said but I take vitamin e and he said what you take is not the vitamin e God put in the wheat along with the other nutrients. His kids asked him why my bread tastes so much better than what they buy from the store😂😂😂😂😂😂 he gets a loaf every appointment I have. He loves it. Confessed he doesn’t always take it home same day he gets it cause he has 4 growing boys once it’s in the door he never gets anymore! ❤
I just so excited to hear Ruthann she is such an inspiration to me . I love her channel and her teaching us all her ways of homesteading. She has taught me things I never thought was possible to do . 💕👍🏡😊
I’ve been milling for 21 years and I enjoyed this podcast and learned new information. I am inspired to try new recipes to increase the uses of the grains. Thank you!
I loved this video. God gave us good things to eat and when we decide we know more….😔. Now man has decided to do things to the food to make more $ and this is making harmful foods. I am so glad that you are spreading this good info!
I'd like more tips on getting the ball of dough in the bottom-hook European style stainless steel bowl. I haven't yet accomplished that. (Plastic bowl, no problem. )
Those sure don't act dead in a 10th of a second but believe what you wanna believe but I call BS. They're still blinking and squawking 2 minutes after the knife slices them.
I would CRY if my Bosch mixer quit working. My Nutrilmill classic - TRUTH, is in the closet. I got stuck with one of those angry lids that would never open. Even after oiling as directed, it just refused to open for me, and then when my adults guys couldn't open it, It went on the shelf! My cousin just bought one a few weeks ago, and she has no trouble with hers. I "could" possibly buy a new bowl...But, I'm not going to spend more money to fix a product that I have only had of a couple of years. I bought a plain old hand crank mill. Yeah, old fashion, will give you a work out, at times. But, NOTHING is off limits with it. Wet, dry...Eh, I look at it as getting the arms back in shape. 😆😆
I was at this talk and want you to know that your talk was my favorite that day! Thank you for reminding me that what is important is what God wants me to be doing, not keeping up with some homesteading ideal.
We had the Ultimate EZ Milker overnighted to us last week when the cow we bought had teats too small to hand milk. I had no idea about the pulsator thing. We ordered this one and returning the EZ Milker. This video has me very excited to get it.
Cannot believe the American public, so highly educated, or so they tell us, has allowed the government to take so much control of our daily lives. Obviously the lobbyists in Washington D.C. have bought enough of our politicians to implement laws, regulations designed to favor big AG and eliminate local, family farms.
Enjoy this video, learn alot. Amy looks & reminds me of my best girlfriend, who I lost over 10 years as go & I still miss her, my friend was a sweetheart as I'm sure Amy is.
“Back in the day” only white men had any freedom or the right to pursue liberty. So even if homesteading is a great way of life now that we had the civil war, got rid of Jim Crow, got the 19th amendment, got the civil rights act of 1965, lived through the Stonewall rebellion and the feminist movement so that not only wealthy straight white men could dream dreams that could be realized. Writing in your own name on the presidential ballot is selfish and yes, privileged. Many of us are under attack-actual, real, existential attack. And if you start a school, make sure you are teaching facts, not ridiculous nonsense. And get CERTIFIED EDUCATORS, not people who know nothing about actual science, math, literature and everything else. Eleven year old children must know how to read. It’s not okay to cheat kids out of an actual education because you prefer propaganda. It’s immoral and irresponsible.
