I still remember the excitement we felt when we finally made the decision to find our place in the country. We didn’t know where it would be, but we knew we’d find it.
The prospect of growing our own food, living off the land and spending more time in nature connecting with our Creator propelled us into what would become the most transformational chapters of our lives.
As I look back over the trials and triumphs of the last 16 plus years, I feel blessed, grateful and so glad we made the decision to follow that dream.
Helping others realize that dream has also become a big part of our lives. Country living has brought so many positive results in the lives of each member of my family that I feel I can’t keep it to myself.
So if you’ve been stricken with the country living bug, you’ve come to the right place. This blog will bring you country homesteading strategies, tips and stories of real people who are doing it.
The great thing about the homesteader lifestyle is that there’s always more to learn.
So whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned veteran, as we add more articles and resources to this blog, you’ll find something to help.
It may be a new tip or technique that helps you become less dependent on the “system”. Or it may be the inspiration gained from hearing the stories of others who share your dream and your journey.
For sure, you’ll find friends here – people who share your passion and understand why stuff like gardening, heating with wood, independent water and energy systems, old home remedies and just a lot of good old fashioned country living is so important.
But more than just being a reader of our blog, I invite you to join in the conversation.
Send us your own stories, tips and tricks that have made the country living dream come true for you, and in turn we’ll share it with the rest of this growing family.
So welcome and thank you for joining us… Happy Homesteading!
