Welcome!
If you’re new to homesteading, this is the perfect place to start.
Having started two homesteads from scratch myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel to transition your dreams into concrete actions. That’s precisely why I created this website – to provide a clear, actionable path to sustainable self-reliance through the rewarding lifestyle called homesteading.
Let’s get started!
Each of the images below will take you though a 9-step framework for turning your dreams into reality. It’s best to pursue each step in the order given, but depending on where you are on your journey, the step may or may not apply. Feel free to bounce around and work through your specific needs. By the time you are finished, you’ll have achieved a homestead plan for you and your loved ones.
Start here to uncover and document your homesteading dreams.
Explore your values, passions, and aspirations, then define WHY you want to homestead.
Learn how choosing to homestead affects your family, friends, neighbors, and even total strangers.
Compare and evaluate the different types of homestead locations.
Learn how to uncover your hidden (and not so hidden) homesteading talents.
Bring your dreams, your Why, skills, and community strengths together to create your vision for your homestead.
Once you have a vision, assess your resources and challenges to avoide costly mistakes and delays.
Turn your dreams and vision into an actionable plan!
The journey’s just begun! Continue learning and growing as you pursue your dream!
*Please note that these links will be continually updated as new blog posts and books are created.
