Homesteading has become really popular over the last few years, for a lot of good reasons. Homesteading has given people the opportunity to take more control over their spending, ability to cut back on going to the store, ability to provide their families with healthy food options and has given many people a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Today I am sharing with you my views on what homesteading has meant to me and why we started homesteading as a family. My views may be different from others, but the common understanding of homesteading is there. I think it is kind of funny to call it homesteading when just decades ago this was just the lifestyle for everyone. I truly believe we don't need to live like our grandparents or great grandparents to be considered a homestead but looking at modern day homesteading as we have more opportunities today. Today's video is part of a collaboration with other homesteading channels sharing their ideas of what homesteading means to them.

Preparing the greenhouse as well as weeding our asparagus and preparing our new garden bed. All in a days work. Preparing the greenhouse is easy, only this year we wanted to add some chicken wire to prevent the chickens from feasting on our tomatoes.

We have decided to do a Live Video Series, with our friends over at @denbighviewranch5758 , on the switch to rural living and self-sustainability. Many people today are looking to move to the country and if not they are looking at ways to cut costs on living and food. During these weekly live discussions we hope to be able to answer many questions of how we did the switch from city living to country living. How we came from no prior experience and made it all work! We also hope to encourage others who want to do this lifestyle but lack the confidence and resources. If this sounds like something you want to be a part of than set your calendar to Thursday Evenings at 7pm EST. Haven't heard of @denbighviewranch5758 ? Head over to their channel and check them out!
