How to Start A Homestead

The idea of starting a homestead can definitely feel overwhelming. There is so much to consider, so many things to do!

What steps do I take? What should I do first? Let me try to answer that complex question as best I can. Just start.

Homesteading activities typically include growing and preserving food crops, cooking meals from scratch, raising animals, etc.

The size of garden you want, the animals you want, think about your long-term goals for your homestead, to determine how much land you need.

Maybe you don't have a lot of money to spend to get started but start small. Save money to put towards something you want, like a chicken coop.

Homesteading is not an all-or-nothing thing. Start small, go slow. Plan out what you want to have in 5 years.

Add an animal here and there as you learn more about them, about their needs, and such.

Things to think about: – land size – garden size – animals – what is most important to you?
