money on the homestead

There are so many reasons why homesteading is an attractive lifestyle, but it can be hard to jump in and commit because it can seem expensive and overwhelming. You don’t need to move to another state, buy a hundred acres, or milk a dairy cow to start homesteading. Homesteading requires a resourceful mindset that aligns with a particular set of values you work to apply to your current lifestyle. It’s a slow, steady process of implementing new skills. While it can be expensive, there are ways to start with nothing. In fact, you can even start homesteading in an apartment! Here’s how to start a homestead with no money.

You want the beautiful, simple life with a mountain landscape on the horizon line seen from your kitchen window. You want the delicious, organic produce grown from your backyard adorning china plates along with mismatched silverware and colorful flowers decorating the tables of your home. You want the freedom to roam the hills and care for animals. But you’re not sure how to answer the big question that allows you to get there: how to make money on a homestead.
