Hi there, it's Sue, with Get to the Farm
In recent years, the homesteading movement has seen a resurgence as people seek to live more sustainably. Homesteaders typically prioritize environmental stewardship, self-sufficiency, and a simpler way of life. Many are drawn to the lifestyle because it allows them to take control of their own food supply and reduce reliance on the industrialized food system. Others are motivated by a desire to live in closer connection with nature, or to reduce their impact on the environment.
Clearing land is a necessary task for homesteaders who want to build their own home and establish their own food systems. Once land is cleared, homesteaders often develop their own sources of food and energy, such as wooded pastures, vegetable gardens, orchards, and solar panels. These resources not only provide for their basic needs, but also help to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and other non-renewable resources.
Homesteaders often prioritize recreational activities that allow them to connect with nature, such as canoeing on their own pond or hiking in nearby wilderness areas. These activities provide a sense of peace and relaxation, and also help to reinforce their connection to the natural world. In addition, homesteaders often share their knowledge and expertise with others in their community, through classes, workshops, and other outreach efforts. By sharing their experiences and insights, they help to build a more resilient, sustainable future for all.
Today we have a bit of all of that and then some so let's get into it...
first we'd like to give a big welcome to some new channels!
