Kristen Dunleavy says, “Jill Winger lives in the middle of nowhere – and she loves it. The self-proclaimedhomesteader and her family reside on a working farm in the southeast corner of Wyoming, 30+ miles away from the nearest grocery store. And yet Jill connects with 50,000 people every day all over the world, thanks to email marketing.

From Farm to Laptop

Jill wasn’t always a homesteader. In fact, it wasn’t until she and her husband purchased a 67-acre farm in 2008 that she developed an interest in gardening… then building a compost pile… then keeping dairy animals. She wanted to spread her growing love of modern homesteading to the rest of the world, so she started a blog in 2012.

Since Jill hadn’t set out to be a blogger (it turns out that homesteading is pretty time-consuming), she didn’t actively try to grow her audience beyond using an RSS feed. Besides, there were cows to be milked”.
