Are you a homesteader?

Homesteading is a lifestyle of becoming more self-sufficient and less dependent on the local chain stores for food and goods. 


We have simplified the definition of Homesteading: Doing at HOME inSTEAD.


If you desire to grow and preserve more of your food; if you long to be free from the entanglement of materialism and societal confines; if you dream of a life of simplicity, then you, my friend, are a homesteader…. and we welcome you!

Join our online Community

Tired of always “looking over your shoulder” when you ask a homesteading question on social media? We wanted the freedom to talk about ALL aspects of homesteading.


So, we created our own private online Community! Ask as many homesteading questions as you like—it’s full of women willing to share their knowledge!

The Prettiest Thing In My Pantry

By Miranda Johnson • July 14, 2026
Several years ago, while scrolling through Pinterest, I came across a photo of the prettiest bright pink vinegar I’d ever seen. It was made with chive blossoms, and I remember thinking, “I have chives…I wonder if I could do that?”

Aprons

By Connie Casey • July 6, 2026
In my 20s, I did a lot of mural work and got in the habit of wiping my brushes and hands on my painter’s overalls. Fast forward to my 30s, and there's me as a new mom, still wiping my hands on my clothes.

A Spoonful Of Memories

By Miranda Johnson • June 15, 2026
It's funny how something so simple can hold so much. A recipe. A memory. An entire day spent with friends.
