Dawn Gallop and her husband were homesteading before they even knew “homesteading” was a term – they were just doing what they needed to survive.

They’ve managed a 30-acre farm complete with goats, bees, chickens, quail, and more, and recently moved to a new farm.

They’re also the creators of a popular YouTube channel called Dawn Gallop of #9 Farms, where they put out a ton of information and resources for anyone looking to build their own homestead.

Tune in to explore:

  • The use of pigs, chickens, and goats to clear areas of weeds and till soil
  • How goats express that they’re fertile and ready to mate
  • What to know about raising and keeping chickens
  • The difference between hay and straw – and which one can be toxic
