I’ve been a homesteader since I was nine years old. I’ve been a full time farmer, a gardener, and a rancher. I’ve worked in an office, and as a waitress. I’ve lived in a city, and in a rural area. To me, the most fulfilling lifestyle has been homesteading.
Homesteading is not for everyone. If you are someone who wants to live in the city, and work in an office, then homesteading is not for you. If you want to be self sufficient, but do not have the time or space to grow your own food, then homesteading is also not for you.
If you have a lot of land, and a lot of time, and you are willing to learn new skills, then homesteading is right for you. If you want a lifestyle that allows you to have all of the comforts of modern life, but you want to be able to provide for yourself and your family, then homesteading is for you.
