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 of going to the store.


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!

What an honor and privilege it was to see the hearts of so many of our ladies evidenced in their land, no matter how large or small.

Homestead Economics: Going To Market

By Julie Ibarra • 09 Aug, 2024
Being a vendor was a top-tier secret goal that I have had ever since college, and it wasn't until the last couple of years that I was able to achieve it.

Snout to Tail

Using the whole animal: from nose to tail, is an important principle on our homestead.
