Small Scale Life Podcast

Learn, do grow and be a little better everyday!

About the show

Welcome to The Small Scale Life Podcast, your weekly journey to connect with Nature and Community.

Join us as we explore Homesteading, Wellness, and the bonds that bring us together. Your host, Tom, believes that every individual and every place has a unique story waiting to be discovered and uncovered. Together, we’ll embark on an adventure to discover the road less traveled, forging new paths and connections along this journey called Small Scale Life.

Plant Deep Roots and Craft Your Own Small Scale Life. The Location and the Path are entirely yours to choose.

Every day is an opportunity to learn, grow, and become a little better.

That, my friends, is a good thing (and where the magic is)!
