Homesteading dreams

I'm beginning to plan my future homestead. I have acquired a small chunk of land outside of my local town's boro, and Rachel and I are planning to build a modest size house. My plan is to break ground this summer and move in before this coming winter.

Our plan is to continue our quest for a self-reliant life. I have been developing my gardening skills over the last few years, and we plan on growing and preserving as much food as we can. We also plan on having a couple farm animals. (chickens, meat rabbits, and a goat for milk) The country lifestyle is right for us since both Rachel and I were raised in the country.

I encourage everybody to take steps in there lives to become less dependant on grocery stores and city utilities. The first step is easy as turning off your lights when not in the room our unplugging your TV when not in use. Even try growing a tomato or two. Chances are when you get started you'll get hooked, like I am. Finding ways to simplify your life is one of the best addictions to have.

So wish us luck in our homesteading aspirations. And have a blessed week.
