Homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. It is often characterized by subsistence agriculture, livestock production, home preservation of foodstuffs, and it may or may not also involve the small scale production of textiles, clothing, and craftwork for household use or sale. Modern homesteaders often use renewable energy options including solar electricity and wind power. Many also choose to plant and grow heirloom vegetables and to raise heritage livestock. Homesteading is not necessarily defined by where someone lives, such as the city or the country, but rather by the lifestyle choices they make. Why Should I Start Homesteading Right Now? For better health. There is a real food problem in the world today and it mostly centers around the nutritional value of what we most often consume. Restaurants and grocery stores are packed full of unhealthy, nutrient deficient "food" and it's creating a huge health crises among people today. One solution to solving this problem, at least on a micro level within your own household, is to grow and raise your own food. This solution is at the very heart of homesteading and is probably the biggest reason why you should start right now.
