Self-Sustained Homesteaders was started for those who are living a more self-sustained, self-sufficient lifestyle, either by choice or by necessity. It’s a place where we can all get together on the virtual front porch and toss ideas around and share our experiences and our knowledge with each other.

Topics include water sources, natural organic gardening, recipes for canning and cooking on a wood stove, drying foodstuffs, hunting and fishing, wild edibles, tanning, livestock, log buildings, herbal remedies, bee keeping, wild crafting, blacksmithing, basket making, spinning wool, cheap alternative energy, composting, how to earn a living off of your land…well, you get the picture :)

The water’s on, so just pull up a seat, grab a cuppa and make yourself at home!

Key words: self-sustain, self-sufficient, homestead, organic, natural, gardening, hunting, homemaking, off-grid, country living, simplicity, frugal, farm, small holding, acre, livestock...
