School is out and gardening is in full effect for the summer! While most of our days will now be spent outdoors and adventuring together with our kids, here is a list of 9 simple and sustainable living YouTube channels to watch when you need a mom (or adult) moment to yourself. This list is a good mix of a lifestyle, tiny living, DIY, gardening, and homemaking vlogs.
I recommend using the playlist feature on these channels to binge watch the videos that fit your current interests.
9 YouTube Channels to Watch About Simple and Sustainable Living
Soul Fire Farm
YouTube | Instagram | Website
Soul Fire Farm is an Afro-Indigenous-centered community farm led by co-founder Leah Penniman. On her channel you will find videos centered around uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system. I love how unapologetic and informative Leah is on her channel.
I find so much inspiration in this channel I think anyone on a journey to learn more about liberating our people (or being an ally) through sustainable agriculture, spiritual activism, health, and environmental justice should subscribe to this channel.
Earth Mama Medicine

Veladya is a holistic guide and on her channel, you will find hours of content on holistic nutrition, herbalism, family, and more. I have most recently been loving her journey of starting a homestead on their 8 acre property in rural Georgia in their 1975 A-frame cabin.
Exploring Alternatives

You know, once you start going down the rabbit hole of learning how to live simply and sustainably, you will inevitably find yourself considering alternatives to the traditional bigger/more = better idea of living. Do we really need to live with more to be happy and fulfilled?
Roots and Refuge Farm
YouTube | Instagram | Website
Ah, I just love watching Jessica’s family and their farm. I especially appreciate how much of their faith is subtly tied into their content and life’s mission. When I have a gardening question, I come to Roots and Refuge because chances are she has a video about it.
I highly recommend this channel for homeschoolers interested in farming and homesteading as well.
Rob Greenfield

Sustainable and green living can feel like an unobtainable lifestyle for so many people. What I like about Rob’s channel is that you see the stories of soo many people. Some make extreme changes to their lifestyle right away and others do what they can to start making those changes.
The Fairly Local Family
YouTube | Instagram | Website
Amber is such a vibrant spirit! On her vlog, she shares her imperfect sustainable lifestyle as a mom of 3. I enjoy watching her videos on simple and slow living, gardening, frugality, eco minimalism, zero waste, and more. If you enjoy the same, definitely check out her YouTube channel.
Follow along on her most recent channel, Fairly Local Life, for more videos about life in general.
Shelbizleee

If you are at the beginning of your journey towards simple and sustainable living, go subscribe to Shelbi’s YouTube channel right now. I’ll wait. Did you do it? Okay, cool beans. Shelbi has a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and is passionate about sustainability. I appreciate the practicality of the tips and suggestions shared on this channel because they apply to the average person.
Shelbi acknowledges that low waste, simple, and sustainable living is a privileged lifestyle and that is why I recommend this channel for the average person, like you and me.
Farmhouse On Boone
YouTube | Instagram | Website
If you want a real look into the day-to-day life of a homemaking, homeschooling, homesteading, business having, natural living mom, subscribe to Lisa’s channel. I have followed Lisa and her family on YouTube for a few years now and have found so many helpful videos. She even has an amazing Blogging Course that I personally can vouch for.
Check out her podcast’s channel as well, Simple Farmhouse Life, for more simple living content.
Our Oily House
YouTube | Instagram | Website
Laura, from Our Oily House, is actually Lisa’s sister. This channel is all about using essential oils to live a simple, natural, and sustainable life. Laura’s channel offers essential oil education, natural remedies, and healthy recipes. Making your own products reduces buying single-use products that are usually packaged with plastic.
If you are an essential oils user, this is the channel for you.
