Episode Synopsis

Take a step back in time—back before dollar bills, bank accounts, and credit cards dictated the way we live. Before we became so dependent on money, communities thrived on something far simpler: bartering and trading. It was the first economy, built not on numbers in a ledger but on relationships, trust, and the value of a hard day’s work. And the funny thing is, even though we’ve moved so far away from it, there’s still a lot we can learn from it today.Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!
