I grew up homesteading. I have had such a calling to get back to what makes me a whole person again. My husband is a city boy and never had animals so it has been a 35year struggle to get him on board. I have slowly gotten chickens and rabbits and quail for our small town back yard. He doesn’t care much for it but he knows it’ makes me happy. We finally purchased our 5th generation off grid family homestead last year and although we are only living in it on weekends for now until we get it updated and more manageable, I’m so happy and yearn to live there full time. We have our garden there and we are working so hard on clearing trees and brush and replacing roofing and adding on. It has become our haven. He loves it as much if not more than I. Being self reliant is the most rewarding and satisfying feeling. There’s nothing to compare. I feel we have prepared in perfect order so that if there were any disaster man made or otherwise we would be perfectly comfortable.
