What is Homesteading? A Simple Guide to Self-Sufficient Living
But, when it comes down to it there is only one formal definition.
Wikipedia defines homesteading as:
a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. It is characterized by subsistence agriculture, home preservation of foodstuffs, and it may or may not also involve the small scale production of textiles, clothing, and craftwork for household use or sale.”
We are both country at heart. While I grew up on a small farm, he did not. Although, he did grow up in a small town. We both wanted a place on a small piece of land to raise our family on. While I wanted to become self-sufficient and grow or make my own food and somewhat raise my family off the grid (read more about our journey HERE).
I was completely baffled at his response.
Each and every animal that lives on our farm serves a purpose.
We make 99% of our food from scratch. We can, freeze, dehydrate, and preserve. We ferment food and drinks. We fish and hunt. We grow and raise our own food here on the farm.
