Ask 20 different homesteaders what it means to be a homesteader and you will get 20 different definitions. This is blog is all about our method of homesteading, and what it means to me.
Homesteading is a way of thinking, a philosophy of life, and a way of life. Homesteading revolves around hard work and faith in God. It is taking a step back, simplifying your life, and re-examining the way you do things. It is getting back to basics. It is not self-reliance, but a reliance on God's blessings.
We do many things from "scratch". It is very important to us that our children have basic skills such as: how to grow food, how to harvest and preserve food, animal husbandry, how to sew, basic construction methods, how to be frugal, etc. These are life skills that our parents and grandparents grew up with and have been forgotten by many Americans.
This blog is all about how we do what we do on a day to day basis.
