Homesteading, Homemaking, Homeschooling & Faith. Grab your coffee or tea and come chat with me. I talk about everything from gardens and livestock to homeschooling and child rearing; and I do so with humor and grace. There will be interviews with some of your favorite homesteading influencers, Q & A, topic specific episodes and general shenanigan episodes. All views expressed by guests are their own. At ABSENT Acres, we believe in Freedom of Speech & Freedom of Thought.
One of my most relaxing interviews yet. Come enjoy the Georgia wisdom from Chas. Original, Godly, Loveable. I can't make it any clearer. It is her mission to help new and experienced homesteaders alike.
**As of 8/26/22 Chas in not using her Etsy account for sales. Please DM her directly on Instagram @heritageacreshomesteadchas, She can help you from there.
On todays episode, I am interviewing my friend RuthAnn Zimmerman. If you haven't been following her... are you living in a hole?
Between homemade root beer and garden tours on YouTube you'd be hard pressed to find a person with more 'old school' knowledge than her.
