Homesteads come in all styles and sizes
The homestead is the center of daily living
At ground zero it incorporates the home and family, growing and raising and cooking food, good times, as well as productive efforts for a healthy life and security.
This may include organic gardening and permaculture methods, raising animals, building outbuildings or even constructing your own home, even if you only start out with a tiny house.
If you are sick of paying high utility bills or need ways to reduce or eliminate them, and want a sustainable lifestyle and to be independent from the wiles of the city, then there is probably something here for you.
