Harold Thornbro

Harold Thornbro is a homesteading and permaculture advocate, he is a co-host of The Modern Homesteading Podcast, author of the book “From Home To Small Town Homestead” and blogger at RedemptionPermaculture.com. 

Harold converted his urban home and property into a fully functioning holistic permaculture homestead after a cancer diagnosis in 2012 in order to radically change his lifestyle and diet. 

He has a passion for helping people get started homesteading (no matter if they live in the city or country) to grow their own food, live healthier lives, become more self-sufficient, and escape the common food system that is laden with problems.

Join Harold Thornbro and Rachel Jamison as they talk about all things homesteading! They discuss things like gardening, livestock, permaculture, food preservation, foraging, hunting, fishing, and the know-how and skills that will help you in your homesteading journey, and occasionally they have guests and we get to hear about what others are doing on their homesteads.
