In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of the Call to Farms Podcast, we sit down with our good friend Ilia Jackson of Mini Mint Farms to hear her incredible journey from fast-paced Silicon Valley life to full-time trailer living—and ultimately settling into a thriving homestead in Middle Tennessee.Ilia shares how she and her family navigated the search for the right land, built a beautiful barndominium from the ground up, and dove headfirst into raising mini Jersey cows. As a true Jill-of-all-trades, Ilia juggles homesteading, homeschooling, and homemaking while her husband continues to work full-time in tech as an entrepreneur.We talk about what it really takes to make the transition to self-sufficient living, how they balance family responsibilities, and why her story is a powerful example for anyone dreaming of growing their own food and finding freedom through homesteading.Whether you're just starting to dream or deep in the dirt, this episode will encourage and equip you to take the next step.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You've got to try freeze-dried candy.
