The Homestead has been given a fresh perspective as we try to simplify our lives by seeking out sustainable lifestyles. I realize this is a small movement but it's a movement nonetheless. The Homestead is about creating, innovating, reconnecting and regeneration. It was less than 100 years ago that people still had chickens in their backyards, summer veggies planted and nothing, including clothes, went to waste. We made rugs from worn out clothes, reknit socks from juniors sweater and made fresh cheese from the milk we collected from our critter. We were less wasteful with what we had because we weren't sure we would have ore of it the next year! It's about thoughtful living while enjoying a fruitful life. This, my friends, is the path of the Homesteader. Simple. Creative.
We hope you will join us in 2026! ~ Jennifer
