What is homesteading? It is the intentional movement towards living self sufficiently. Instead of buying stuff...making it yourself and attempting to raise your own food as much as possible. Also, revisiting the skills that have long been lost due to technological advancements. Such as, soap making, canning, blacksmithing, gardening and attempting to use natural sources of energy. I say all this as I sit with my laptop on battery power while accessing my wifi. ;-)
With that said, I have a one acre plot in an area that is surrounded by trees in a county that is friendly to farmers. We have farmers who live on land that they inherited and Amish families that are primarily agriculturally based within a few miles. On my little acre I have a garden, green house, chickens for eggs and I raise my own chickens for meat.
