Homesteading Life - methods, techniques and systems

Homesteading Life!

Hey there,

I’m Jules – welcome to Homestead Squirrel… homesteading for life!

On this site you find ways to reduce your dependence on the super-market by growing your own food and raising a few animals.

We’ll look at green energy alternatives, storing food for leaner times and some of my favorite ways to use your home grown veggies in the kitchen and pantry.

I hope you will come visit often, as it is my intention to share a great deal of homesteading and gardening information and advice with you.

If you’re new to growing your own food, take a look at Organic Vegetable Gardening for Beginners. This will help get you started with some veggie gardening basic methods and techniques, along with some new and old systems. Being able to grow your own food and take it into your kitchen to provide meals for your family is one of life’s most rewarding accomplishments.

Homesteading for Life

Homesteading is a lifestyle. There’s a lot to learn if you haven’t grown up on a farm. The quicker you get started, the sooner you’ll be enjoying your home-grown, garden fresh healthy produce.

After you’ve stored what you can preserve in the pantry, you might even have enough surplus to give to your friends and family, or to sell at the local farmer’s market to bring in a little income!

Yes, there’s a lot to learn if you’re new to gardening. But each season you build on what you learned from the results you got the previous season. It all starts with a good gardening plan, then building on that. So what are you waiting for?

Have a look around the blog and check out the resources pages for more information! And you’re welcome to leave a question or comment below any post.
