FAQ of a Homesteading life
What is a homesteader?
A homesteader can be defined as a person who thrives to be independent and self-sufficient by working with nature in one or more ways in their day today. It’s a lifestyle that focuses on food security, natural living, and homemade crafts that help them depend on themselves.
Homesteaders do not fit in one category, as they can come in all shapes and sizes. There are rural homesteaders, urban homesteaders, suburban homesteaders, apartment homesteaders, and off-grid homesteaders.
Honestly, if you consider yourself a homesteader then you are one. Everyone has their definition and values of what a homesteading life is to them. Just because you garden or have chickens doesn’t mean you are a homesteader. It all depends on each person’s personal goals and values of what a homesteading life is to them.
What does it mean to have a Homesteading life?
A homesteading life means you can be self-sufficient and sustainable on your own. Regardless of whether you live in a small-scale homesteading life or a large-scale homesteading life, you devote your time to this lifestyle.
You don’t have to grow 100% of your food, preserve it all, or kill your chickens for meat to have a homesteading life. Homesteading life is a broad term that can be explained in multiple ways.
Some homesteaders work from home or outside their home and still manage to do as much as they can to live naturally or with intention. Homesteading is a way of life that is not for everyone but if you feel a deeper connection to nature and strive to be self-sufficient as much as you can, then that is all that matters.
What is this Beginners guide to start living a Homesteading Life?
This guide is not only for beginners, It can also be for anyone who wants to learn new skills since there are so many topics we cover.
Our guide to start living a homesteading life is organized by topic and provides step-by-step instructions for all types of homesteading skills.
What is the Homestead Act of 1862?
This act has one of the longest act In America that provided up to 160 acres of land to American citizens who claim that amount of land for a certain fee.
The act let immigrants, slaves, and women claim this free land to farm and create a homestead of their own. According to History.com, the act “resulted in 10 percent of U.S. land—or 270 million acres—to be claimed, had settlers pay $18—$10 to claim the land, $2 for commission to the land, $6 final payment to receive an official patent on the land as well as $1.25 per acre following six months of proven residency.”
The downfall of the act was that some people did take advantage of the act in various ways and it forced Native Americans out of the land they were living on. Native Americans were forced to live on reservations.
What are the Secrets of Homesteading?
In my opinion, the secret of homesteading is to not give up, stick to what you believe in, and always keep learning. Using resources like our free Ebook can help educate you with all types of tips and tricks used in a homesteading life.
There are so many things you can do on a homestead, and it’s okay if you might not know them all. Surely the fun of homesteading is to learn little by little along the way of your homesteading journey.
Secrets are not made to be told, with homesteading there are no secrets to be kept. When it comes to learning how to have a homesteading life, the community welcomes, shares, and supports all.
We all learn differently, so depending on your learning style you can find a lot of information out there that comes with a price or is free of charge. Look no further as you have an amazing resource right in front of you, our Homesteading Anywhere Ebook!
Can you make a living off homesteading?
Yes, you can make a living off homesteading if you do what you know or have been taught to do around the homestead. From selling vegetables, flowers, eggs, milk, livestock and making all sorts of crafts or body products you can make money on your homestead.
If you don’t have livestock or a big garden to sell things from you can use your creativity and create household items with crocheting, macrame, sewing, and all types of mediums to help you make extra money.
So many others just do enough to help provide for their family and homestead not to be rich. Homesteading living is not about making tons of money but making enough to help you live a life of self-sufficiency.
Our ebook has many skills you can use to make money on your homestead today!
How much does it cost to start homesteading?
It depends on where you live and how you want to live. Since you can homestead anywhere, the cost to start homesteading can vary. But you can shop second-hand and get free materials to make anything on a homestead. So you don’t have to spend much unless you are buying things already built, or new.
Starting a homestead with a raw piece of land might cost more than starting a homestead in a suburban area. The cost of homesteading is not a black and white answer, not all homesteaders want to do it all.
Homesteading Life: Final thoughts
Why the Homesteading Lifestyle is Awesome?
I think a homesteading life is awesome because it is a life that is full of beauty. There is nothing that feeds the soul better than working together with nature and making things with your own bare hands.
Life is busy, and there are times when we can’t always enjoy nature like we want or make things from scratch, but when you do yo it’s nice to have a homestead that provides you with all the resources you need to do whatever you desire to make.
The beauty of Homesteading is knowing that you have taken the time to learn to do something you never thought you could do before. The feeling of self-sufficiency is amazing.
Why Am I A Homesteader?
Honestly, homesteading fell into my lap after I started growing my food. Learning how to make more things with my own hands has been therapeutic for me mentally. Eating more naturally has helped me in so many ways too.
I feel like I found a new sense of purpose and my life has come full circle. If you didn’t know, my first career choice before joining the military or becoming a nurse was an artist. I wanted to become an artist as a career so I studied fine arts in college and always saw art as my first love.
That being said, I feel like homesteading for me is like creating art. Creating a homestead, creating a garden, and striving to have a self-sufficient life which in turn helps me create beautiful things that keep my family healthy. This is why I am a homesteader.
