Real Skills. Real Life.

This is where Real-World Learning Meets Real-World Living

You’re not here to chase theory. You’re here to do. Whether you’re curious about growing your first tomato or ready to overhaul your off-grid setup, HomesteadSkills.academy is where practical learning meets real-life resilience. Financial, physical, and on the land; we give you tools that actually work.

This isn’t YouTube guessing. These are hard-earned lessons from real people who’ve lived it, failures and all.

HomesteadSkills.academy was born out of two communities that walk the walk:

The Living Free in Tennessee Podcast, where practical homesteading meets personal freedom
The Self-Reliance Festival, where doers, tinkerers, and off-grid rebels gather to trade real skills face-to-face

We took those conversations, trainings, and hands-on sessions and built the next logical step: a hub where you can keep learning, anytime.

You’ll find live-recorded sessions from SRF, deep-dive courses inspired by podcast episodes, and real guidance from instructors who care about connecting YOU with the best information they can find.

You belong here if you’re…

Sick of theory and want proven, boots-on-the-ground experience
Ready to stop overthinking and start doing
Tired of fear talk and ready to build something better
Looking to build systems, not just stockpiles
