What is homesteading?

  Homesteading, according to Wikipedia, is a lifestyle of simple self-sufficiency.
For my husband and I, it's all about cutting out the middle man, eating better, living closer to creation and living a better, less stressful, more fulfilling life with less money.
  Homesteading is not necessarily a thing that you do but a way of life that can be lived in the city apartment to the country spread and all levels in between. If you have the desire,  you can implement the homesteading life no matter where you live or what your level of health. Composting, backyard chickens and container gardening are just a few things that can be done by many people even without having much land.  Everyone envisions something different when you mention homesteading. When I think about homesteading, I think of gardens, livestock, orchards and a pantry full of homegrown food. Ask my husband and you'll hear about solar and wind power, efficient heating and cooling ideas and thoughts about building your own house and other structures.
  Don't be discouraged if your not quite where you think you should be, instead be creative and figure out how to implement your dream of homesteading right where you are!
