Josh Thomas and his wife, Carolyn, started their homesteading journey in a second-floor apartment in California. Eleven children and 40 North Idaho acres later, they have become well-known teachers in the world of homesteading and sustainable living. After years of studying, trial and error and learning from anyone who knew more than they did, they started figuring out how to make a productive, old-fashioned life in the midst of a modern world. After raising and growing most of their family’s food and medicine, and enjoying the results of eating healthy food, working together as a family, and being more connected to the land, Josh and Carolyn founded HomesteadingFamily.com to teach others. Today they reach hundreds of thousands of people to help them become healthier, more secure, and more free through gardening, food preservation, and sustainable living.

Edwin and Paul Dysinger are a father and son team and the co-founders of Seedtime. Together they create ground breaking small farm and garden planning software and enjoy teaching thousands of people from around the world how to grow their own nutrient-dense organic food.
