E25: The Gifts of the Homestead Life | Francesca Battistelli

E25: The Gifts of the Homestead Life | Francesca Battistelli

You might recognize today’s guest from her successful years-long career in Christian music, but you may not know that Francesca Battistelli is part of the homesteading world as well. What began as a nudge to leave behind the busy pace of a traveling musician and spend more time at home with her children has turned into a full-blown homesteading, homeschooling, homemaking, home-loving life. Join us as Francesca shares her homesteading story: how it all got started, where they are now, and what they hope and dream for the future. Along the way, Francesca points out so many of the beautiful reasons that the homesteading lifestyle has captured so many of our hearts here in the HOA community.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What led Francesca from a music career on the road to the slower pace of homestead life

  • How kids participate in the homestead and what they gain from this lifestyle

  • Family relationships and changes in community when embarking on a homesteading journey

  • What homesteading endeavors Francesca has taken on in her first few years of homesteading

  • Thinking through the long-term goal of your homestead

  • What homeschooling looks like for Francesca and her six children

  • How homesteading lends itself to a life of continual learning

  • Noticing the everyday beauty around the homestead
