A note from the editor
In Homestead is a field guide for homesteading for beginners —
written for people who are earlier in this journey than they’d
like to be.
It’s not a “look at my farm” blog. It’s a field guide — carefully
researched, honestly written, and grounded in established sources
like the USDA, NCHFP, and experienced homesteaders. When something
is tested, it’s labeled. When it’s traditional, it’s labeled.
When the sources disagree, both sides get shown.
If that’s the kind of homesteading blog you’ve been looking for,
you’re in the right place.
