503: Growing Your Own Food with Jill Win...

HAL ELROD
About this episode

Ever since 2020, I have become increasingly aware of how fragile our food supply system is. My wife and I made the decision to start growing our own food and raising chickens, something that we had seen our neighbor do on a ¼ acre lot and we figured, if they can do it, we can do it! 

That’s why I’m excited to be chatting with Jill Winger, author of Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life. Over the past 10 years, Jill has helped thousands of families learn how to grow their own food, ditch the grocery store, and live the Old-Fashioned on Purpose lifestyle. 

Similar to how the Miracle Morning shakes up our daily routine, Jill’s approach shakes up our entire relationship with food and self-sufficiency. You’ll learn how to embrace a producer’s mindset, the magic of growing our own food, and the importance of reconnecting with our environment. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Become a maker, not just a taker
  • Modern problems require much more than band-aid solutions
  • Sitting at a desk isn’t our natural habitat
  • Adversity isn't always negative. It's often worth leaning into
  • The impact of grocery store food on our minds and bodies
  • Why you don’t need to live on a farm to eat healthy
