RE: Homesteading is important to me because..
It is both encouraging and galvanizing to meet others who feel the way that we do. Both my husband and I see the writing on the wall for the current way society is running--there's no sustainable way it can continue. As former teachers (we quit to homestead!) we also know that WE want to be responsible for the feeding, education, and raising-up of our children. We want to call the shots in our lives, finally.
We moved to our 12 acres (finally!) only a month ago, but there's no other way we could imagine doing life.
That is absolutely wonderful. My parents did the same for me and my siblings. My dad was a teacher and my mom a nurse and retired early to homestead, Bought a 57 acre piece of heaven and have not been happier. Taught me a lot of what I know, but my grandparents taught me quite a bit also. Thanks for sharing and loving your children as I do mine. Like minded folks. Now following
That's so cool to hear it from the kid's perspective, as I only have a mother perspective at the moment! I really appreciate your comment.
I agree! We only have one acre currently but have plans to expand. Were grateful for it all the same this allows us to see what works before we go large scale. We hope to move a little farther out within five years using that time to learn and save! Thank you for up voting and commenting!
We had a "practice" time before we moved to a bigger area of land, too. Every bit of time and experience is useful!
