An increasing number of people have been leaving cities and heading to the country to start homesteading. Some of these people see the writing on the wall and want to ensure their families’ health and safety as the fate of our country continues to be in question. Others have been farming for generations, and some just saw it on YouTube and thought it would be cool.
For my family, as we watched non-elected officials become dictators during COVID-19, the corruption within our government, and the corporatization of our food supply - our goal has always been to become as self-sufficient as possible. Meat continues to be demonized, and the climate agenda continues to be used to control people and the food supply. We want to rely on as few systems as possible to ensure our health and freedom.
While we have a long way to go before we are mostly self-sufficient and producing a significant portion of our own food, it’s not the destination; it’s the journey, and we enjoy working towards this goal.
For anyone else looking to move on to some land, live closer to nature, and become more self-sufficient. Ours is just one example and by no means “the way.” We enjoy sharing our journey and hope it sparks an idea or epiphany for your journey.
My wife and I purchased the property with my brother and his wife, and our parents also plan on joining. Anyone who thinks owning land or a homestead is financially out of reach should consider teaming up with family or friends. Everything is more affordable when you’re splitting it two or three ways. We previously talked about how to buy land here.
