There is a homesteader inside us all. After all, it is part of our history and the way life 'used to be'. Homesteading, I believe, is a mindset or attitude, a willingness to invest in ourselves and the future by aligning with nature to live well.
In our experience, homesteading is certainly not like a scene from a Country Style magazine. As I look around, it appears somewhat chaotic. The kids' art and craft spread out all over the kitchen table, in between a sea of dried pods to be opened and seeds saved for next season's planting. Nearby on the kitchen bench, I see produce waiting to be preserved, other kitchen experiments in progress, mixed in with a bunch of random books and jars ... lots of jars!
While the concept of rewilding may initially sound like a return to hardcore hunting and gathering, in today's modern times perhaps its essence is more a reconnection to the natural environment that supports us all - a yearning to grow and make your own, to be self-reliant or 'less dependent'. Imagine a life where individuals and families strive towards minimalism and return to village-style living where bartering, sharing with others and pay-it-forward attitudes are more ingrained.

About the author
Hi there! I'm Anna.
I am a homesteader, a mum, and a worm farmer’s wife. In Homegrown Healthy living, I shares my journey of self-discovery, healing and nourishment, after a serious health diagnosis. Each section begins with a journal of my thoughts and experiences and then practical information on the foundations of homesteading so you can learn along with me.
We had dreamed of living and working on the land, but were looking for a sign to point us in the right direction. Then we got it! I came across an online advertisement for a small, rundown, compost worm operation for sale. A persuasive proposal landed us some investment and we purchased the business. The flow-on effect from that moment is still unbelievable to us, and to most who hear our story. The following gives you a little snippet of the main arcs of that story, in the form of book chapters, that I have used as a way to share these lessons on farming, preserving, permaculture, and general wellbeing so you can benefit too.
