Hey, @papa-pepper! I would have to agree. Homesteading is more about a way of life than farming which has become big business. Homesteading is about self-sufficiency whereas farming is providing food for the masses at a profit. We had a farm in Canada, beef cattle and cash crops. It was not the sort of lifestyle we wanted for our family. That is why we moved (and health reasons) and bought our small parcell of land to homestead. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
