Big Life Changes, Bigger Farm Goals | Strong Sistas Update
In this episode of the Rooted in Resilience podcast, Ash & Sarah return after a few months off with updates on their lives, business ventures, and what's next. They discuss life transitions, including Sarah’s path toward starting a family and possibly buying a house, and reflect on their journey building Nourish Food Club and running Angel Acres. From the realities of homesteading and animal care to the dream of creating a family compound, they share the highs, lows, and everything in between. The sisters also open up about redefining what “functional” and “funny” farming means to them, the challenges of running a farm as a startup, and why they’re bringing more personal stories into this next season.Keep Up With Us!🖥️ Website: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/🗞️ Newsletter: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/newsletter-signup👩🏼🌾 Our Farm CoOp, Nourish: https://nourishcooperative.com/ Timestamps0:00 - Welcome Back to the Podcast02:33 - Catching Up Since the Holidays04:53 - Sacrifices to Build the Dream07:03 - Sarah's Personal Update: House Hunting08:33 - The Compound Vision & Homesteading Goals10:33 - Sisters’ Personality Differences11:03 - Strong Sistas Going Back to Their Roots13:13 - Living with Passion & Purpose14:13 - Homesteading Q&A Begins14:51 - Best & Worst Parts of Farming Together19:48 - The “Funny Farm” vs. Functional Farm20:44 - Sarah’s VIC & VIP Zone23:57 - Sarah’s Emu Chronicles26:03 - When Homesteading Gets Tough28:38 - How Our Farm Works29:50 - Naming Our (Imaginary) Farm TV Show30:36 - Is Homesteading as Romantic as Instagram Makes It Look?33:58 - Hard Lessons from Loss on the Farm38:01 - Why Farm Life Is No Joke42:00 - What’s Coming Next & Final Thoughts
