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!

We talk a lot about learning skills. And that matters. But not every step has to be serious. Sometimes learning looks like trying something new with people you enjoy being around.
