Homesteading is a way to develop more self-sufficiency, cut costs and live closer to nature. It is a lifestyle that can help you to stay healthier and happier!
The first step is to decide what you want from your homestead. Having a plan will help you to achieve your goals and support your ideal life.
Have you noticed neighbors tapping their maples this spring? Or do you know someone who started growing some of their own food, or started a small flock of backyard chickens in the last few years? If you answered yes, you’re in good company. An estimated 18 million claimed themselves as new gardeners in 2021 according to the National Gardening Association. And an estimated 13 million Americans (that’s 5% of the population) now raises chickens according to the USDA.
If you are one of my neighbors who has started learning these or similar skills, welcome to the wonderful world of homesteading!
