VIDEO: A Great Depression Baby~Nana's Old School Wisdom


After many requests, Nana finally sat down and let me interview her! Growing up in poor Appalachia, particularly as a Great Depression baby, her experience as a young girl certainly shaped who she is today. We can all learn from these older generations and their experiences! Thank you for loving Nana and her recipes here on Appalachia’s Homestead like you do!

  1. What a blessing! You have passed her wisdom onto others. I lost my Dad last Thanksgiving (2020). I always asked him questions about his childhood and life during The Great Depression. My Mother's Mother, Grandma Lacy, had a laundry service and about 1000 chickens that she had in her backyard to sell eggs and meat. They too ate meat once a week. We come from strong and able stock Patara!! Thank you so much for sharing.

  2. LORD, I'm just sitting here crying my eyes out missing my Mammaw. You are so fortunate to still have yours. In my humble opinion, this is your best video to date. Cherish every moment. Your Nana's awesome. <3 <3 <3

  3. Wow! Late but I enjoyed this! I will go look for more. My Meme (grandma) grew up in France during WWII and I never once heard of her speak about being hungry although she always tried to feed everyone when they were visiting. I didn’t realize until after she passed (earlier this year) that they had to hide food and scavenge and were in danger for having food during the war. She never mentioned it to any of the grand kids and I don’t know if my mom and aunt even knew. But she told a family friend and he mentioned it. I was aware of what’s going on today before I heard that. But that comment he made hit the nail on the head for me.

  4. I adore your nana, I miss my grandparents, lost grandpa age 16, and grandma about 10 yrs ago, lost my husband mom we all called nana about 20 yrs ago! We have no family left beyond me hubby and kids now!
