Expect Hard Work and Great Rewards

I consider homesteading to be a self-reliance lifestyle that can be accomplished anywhere – you don’t need a 30 acre piece of property to join in. Many homesteaders are in the suburbs or even in the city, making the best of the yard they have. Homesteading is a lifestyle.

I belong to a inspiring group of homesteading bloggers that are giving us a peek into a day in their homesteading life. Their stores (and video’s) are poignant, sweet and inspirational. I believe that they prove we can all incorporate a bit of homesteading into our life.

What would it take to call myself a homesteader? I think owning a goat would qualify me…

You can expect to find that my friends work hard and are constantly tending kids, animals and gardens. They preserve food, make homemade remedies and repair infrastructure. They are passionate about their lifestyle.

They are not so different from you!
