Urban homesteading is often marketed as the ultimate compromise. You can have fresh food and a taste of self-sufficiency without leaving the city. That's what they said. It promises you just enough without overwhelming you. Fun, right?
We have a small greenhouse that produces more tomatoes than we can eat all summer, and enough hot peppers to choke a hot pepper lover! It's well worth the work, I only wish that summer was longer.
You’re such a brilliant writer. We’re beginning our homesteading life on 1 acre in Guatemala this year and we know nothing other than regenerative basics and the link between microbiome & mental & immune health & herbal medicines… but to get our hands dirty in the soil… this will be a first. It’s been an exhausting journey to build our adobe home here & we were running out of steam before the planting even begins… but finding your writing has re-awakened our initial spark & gotten us all excited again. Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for your comment. I’m glad you didn’t step into the same genetic pool. Imagine all the helpful articles from you just non-existent. A tragedy. Honestly,
I’ve learned so much already from your insights and posts. Let’s keep it that way: I take the dirty part - you the digital solopreneur part!
Thank you Kendra for your mindful comment. Love to hear about these projects. It's a big thing to turn dirt to soil and a functioning ecosystem. And as you said: not everybody needs to be a crazy homesteader. Being a real stewart of the land is already a hell of a job. I wish you all the best for your project. Only good decisions. Only good weather to work.
And if you consider I can help: you know where to find me. Thanks again, see you around.

From pots on the deck to homesteading dreams. I can understand how that happens.
Unfortunately, I have a brown thumb, so I probably won't be making that leap anytime soon. lol
(Which is funny because my dad was a farmer and his brother still has a very successful farm. I did not get that gene!)

Deal??
That sounds like a great deal to me!
