Welcome to my homestead experiment. Can one really accomplish a homesteading lifestyle on one-half acre of property? Well, that is what I am setting out to discover.
Every good project starts with a dream. I have dreamed for years of becoming self-sufficient. In recent months I have decided to work toward making this dream a reality using the blessings we currently possess. Perhaps some day the Lord will bless us with a bigger property where we can raise large livestock. But until then, I am determined to learn as much as I can about this lifestyle art.
Step by step I will record our progress here. Successes and failures (sure to be lots of failures!) This is our journey.

Next time... defining the vision...Where would we be without the supermarket?

Actually Lorie, you have a leg up on my homesteading endeavors, because you have a half acre of land! I currently live in a townhome (!) with NO land...but a great deck I use to the FULLEST with planters for my veggie garden. I've also added some other homesteading ventures into my life - generally trying to be as self sufficient as possible...in a townhome! I believe that a home with some land (even just a half acre) is out there for us someday! I'd love to learn from you as you learn and experience homesteading!
