Here you will find an in-depth guide that will outline all of the main considerations in a homestead design. A homestead usually covers a few acres of land, combining small-scale farming and growing for self-sufficiency. This guide is aimed at making the homestead layout as efficient and productive as possible so it’s an ideal introduction for anyone wanting to adopt a homesteading life.

The reality of running a homestead (or “smallholding”) is not for the faint-hearted! It is a dream shared by many people and it can be very rewarding but it’s important to be clear that you are willing to make it your way of life before you start – setting up and maintaining one takes a lot of work! Planning is crucial to make a homestead into a system where all of the different elements can work together in harmony.

If it’s not for you, you can still help by supporting homesteaders in your community through bartering or buying their surplus produce or by growing some of your own food – this will reduce pollution due to transport and could save you money. Local, fresh food is usually the best for your health!

Further Resources:

Some research is necessary before you begin and it is very helpful to read about other homesteaders’ experiences. The writings of John Seymour are well-known to be some of the best on the subject – they cover all aspects of self-sufficiency infused with decades of experience and common sense.

There are many benefits to keeping animals on a homestead and for many they are considered a necessity for it to thrive. However, there are clear requirements for their living conditions – find out more here:

We found another great site that shows well-designed plans for a new homestead, 18 months after it was started. This one is especially interesting as it is has a lot of sustainable features, which are detailed clearly on the site – the owners have a good philosophy of taking time to develop the homestead slowly as their skills and experience grow. http://www.byexample.net/homestead/plan/sustainable_homestead.html

The mindset of the homesteader can be cultivated anywhere! It’s all about working with nature and taking care of the environment, making good use of resources and developing a balanced way of working. Here are two site full of tips and good advice for growing (including organic methods) here:

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
