About Us

Homesteading your garden is a beautiful path to a self-sufficient paradise. With our network, you can build a backyard homestead, whether you’re a green thumb or new to self-reliance.  

The route may be frightening for beginners. Start with a vegetable garden or backyard poultry, then build skills and space.  

Homesteading is eco-friendly. Homesteaders recharge the soil and provide abundant food and resources through composting, water gathering, and permaculture. These green methods benefit your family and the world. 

Homesteading is very personal. You are helping your community through DIY projects, rediscovering old skills, and developing a farm that reflects your values. Building chicken coops or solar panels brings enjoyment and freedom.  

Discover homesteading, from spring plantings to winter crafts. We share stories of community and connectedness to remind us that homesteading is about developing relationships and a meaningful existence. We also offer advice for leveraging limited space and contemporary technology.
