Dr. Robert Malone: You Don’t Need a Farm to Start Homesteading

Talk Truth 10.01.26 – Dr. Robert Malone | Dr. Robert Malone is back on Talk Truth — but this conversation goes somewhere completely different. Malone discusses Homesteading for Health: One Farm Family’s Guide to Food, Land, and Self-Sufficiency, the new book written with his wife, Dr. Jill Malone, and their decades of experience living and working on small farms. From processed food and depleted soil to regenerative farming, backyard gardens, chickens and buying meat directly from farmers, Malone explains why he believes more families are looking for greater control over where their food comes from. And for anyone who thinks homesteading requires 40 acres and a tractor, he explains how to start small — even if all you have is an apartment window.
