Building Your Homestead Podcast
Takota Coen
Hi Folks, I’m Takota Coen, thank you for checking out the Building Your Homestead Podcast where I talk with expert guests about agriculture, health, economics, technology, philosophy, and other topics that I believe will help to peacefully exit the increasing tyranny of our world and start building a parallel system, one homestead at a time.I started this podcast because I believe that the best way to fight the nefarious agents destroying our world is not with pandemonium, petitions, or pouting, but by ending our dependency on their systems that seek to keep us sick, broke and enslaved. Whether you are still planning your exit strategy from the city, or you already have an established property, I hope these conversations will inspire you and give you the tools to live a life of freedom and abundance in partnership with nature.
