Homesteading
Homesteading means different things to different people, depending on individual circumstances and stages in their journey. Even if you’re in an urban setting, starting to homestead can begin with educating yourself and gradually incorporating practices into your life.
In our own homesteading journey, we make the most of our small rural home by focusing on a large garden, food preservation, and homeschooling. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your homesteading practices, our resources and experiences aim to inspire and support you in embracing a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
