Meet my multi-talented friend Sarah Gilliam, community advocate, beekeeper, photographer, believer in flower power, and homesteader raising her family of four just up the road from us in an area of Santa Fe, TN called Hilltown. 🌼
Since I first met her, I've seen how Sarah truly embodies the word “community.” Not just in a general sense, but in the nitty-gritty way - using her voice, getting her hands-dirty, loving her neighbors, working to make her community a better place.
In this episode, you’ll hear about Sarah’s upbringing in the local TN countryside to parents who fostered a culture of kindness, immersed in music, raising animals, gardening, and respect and love of the land.
Some of the topics we talk about:
LISTEN IN, and let Sarah inspire you to invest in your own community, live more slowly on purpose, bring back some of the skills and practices of past generations, and maybe even take the leap toward your own homesteading dreams. 🌿
