Living a sustainable and self sufficient way of life, is perhaps a dream that many or even most people share. To be able to leave the day to day rat race. Some may be thinking to sell or give away much of their belongings. As they may want to direct their focus on a life that is more about love, family, and becoming more self reliant. Rather than living a life that is most often seen as being successful. Such as having a high corporate job. Or being thought of as superior or having a high status. Based on the amount of money earned, or by the number of shiny objects they own. Some people may ultimately decide to pack up all their necessary belongings. And with their families, head out to live in the middle of nowhere. Others may decide to search and find their very own piece of paradise. They may choose to tend to their own beautiful gardens. Allowing them to reap the rewards of fresh fruit and vegetables. Canning them from their own kitchens. Or using to make fresh, healthy, homegrown, recipes to bring to the table. For the family to enjoy. They may also wish to have animals. And livestock to tend. For their own food and clothing. Or other necessities.
Living the lifestyle you wish for. Can be a dream come true, You can learn about how this can be done, here on Steemit. From a bit over 200 Steemians that have turned their dreams of Homesteading into their everyday reality. They also openly share their knowledge, of what they have learned through their own trials and tribulations. With those who wish to soak up all that wonderful knowledge. You can feel free to ask all types of questions for concerns you may have. We are certain that our Homesteaders here on Steemit, can help you handle just about any situation you may have. No worries.
With the sharing of all their information. Can come some hard hitting realities of some challenges you may need to face, living on a Homestead. So you may need to ask yourself. Will you be ready to face these challenges....
