Shannon Hayes | Sustainable Living and Homeschool Adventures

Shannon Hayes is a sustainable farmer, author, and chef from Sap Bush Hollow Farm in Upstate New York, where she and her family raise grass-fed livestock using regenerative agriculture. In addition to managing the family farm and café, Shannon homeschools her children and explores themes of slow living, sustainability, and joyful living in her writings and podcast.

In this episode, Shannon shares her unique perspective on balancing family life, homeschooling, and running a farm while reflecting on her daughters’ passion for sustainable fashion. Raised with thrift shopping and creative expression, her daughters have embraced fashion as an artistic and ecological statement.

Together, we dive into how they challenge mainstream consumerism and what this means for our families' homeschooling journey.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation on slow travel, family farming, and how to create a meaningful life rooted in joy, sustainability, and personal contentment.
