Gardening

Homesteading is about skillbuilding. It allows us to be more self-sufficient and sustainable; having the skills to provide for ourselves and our families. It has a lot less to do with lot size and more to do with how much we choose to produce within our abilities. Start the garden. You’ll be amazed at the results.
