Activities that are part of a homesteading lifestyle

Homesteading is all about self-sufficiency, but there’s no set definition or list of rules to follow and there are many levels of immersion. Here are a few examples of what homesteading looks like:

• Producing all or some of your own food, which includes:
• Raising chickens, pigs, cows, and other animals (like bees!)
• Organic gardening
• Cooking from scratch
• Brewing your own beer
• Starting a container garden in your apartment
• Preserving and canning food you’ve grown
• Making your own soap, detergent, and other cleaning supplies
• Sewing and knitting your own clothing
• Living off the grid or using renewable energy
