- You are deeply yearning for life in another time: feeling like something is fundamentally missing from modern life.
- You want the independence that comes from a self-sufficient life.
- You’re overwhelmed because you don’t think you have the resources necessary to achieve your dreams.
Becoming More Self-Sufficient
We all have different reasons for why we homestead. They are what make our journeys unique. They are also what bring us together. It is those reasons that make homesteaders stand out, and what make homesteading such a rewarding experience.
- Control of our food supply
- Improve our health
- Teach our children
- Care for God’s Creation
