A Modern Homesteader?

Published by u2shay at 12:58 am under Green Living, Homesteading, Thrifty Living Edit This

What is homesteading? I know what came to mind when I first heard the term. I thought of the land races of the late 1800’s and people trying to live off of the land out in the middle of nowhere. Does this still exist today. I’m sure it does in some places, but not on the good old Circle B Chicken Ranch. Instead, I aspire more to the spirit of homesteading. And just what is that spirit you may ask? Well, I think that it is the drive to create choice where none existed before. Choice is power. And so many of us are powerless. Maybe I am a dreamer…but there is coming a day, when I want to be able to tell the electric monopoly , I mean company–”No Thanks, I have other options” ; when I can forego the big, overgrown super-store and grow my own organic food.

Are you ready to leap out of the box of convention? Are you ready to rethink your necessities and how you live? Are you ready to take back choice? Are you ready to live simpler, greener, and cheaper? I know that I am.
