Are you a homesteader?

Homesteading is a lifestyle of becoming more self-sufficient and less dependent on the local chain stores for food and goods. 


We have simplified the definition of Homesteading – Doing at HOME inSTEAD of going to the store.


If you desire to grow and preserve more of your food; if you long to be free from the entanglement of materialism and societal confines; if you dream of a life of simplicity, then you, my friend, are a homesteader…. and we welcome you!

Join our online Community

Tired of always “looking over your shoulder” when you ask a homesteading question on social media? We wanted the freedom to talk about ALL aspects of homesteading.


So, we created our own private online Community! Ask as many homesteading questions as you like—it’s full of women willing to share their knowledge!

Four women who, just a few short hours ago, knew only names. The courage to be vulnerable, the sacrifice of time to give of themselves in conversation and knowledge. …what a gift Community is to those who participate.

The first project on my plate was to build an herb garden, to have herbs in the ground that I could harvest and use for culinary blends, teas, medicinal, and home use.

It is a special team of women willing to go the extra mile and share their time and talents to benefit the entire organization – the Executive Team.
