Homesteading is a way of living simpler and going back to the land. Adopting a sustainable and self sufficient way of life. This can be achieved by many ways and is up to you as to how far you would like to take it. You may be trying to save energy, therefore lowering your electric bills. Growing your own foods (vegetables, fruits, berries, grains), or even can involve live stock (chickens, pigs, sheep, goats, milk cow, or cattle for beef). It's up to you as to how far you want to go, but keep in mind if you live in the city as I do you will have city codes and regulations to abide by. As for me my city does not allow any fowl (birds), so no chickens for me yet.
If homesteading is new to you it is important to start small and learn to manage what you have before going large scale. You could become overwhelmed and loose everything invested. So start small and look at adding 1 or 2 things to each growing season as long as you are able to manage what you have.
Happy Homesteading!!!
