Welcome Homesteaders!

We are a group interested in being more self sustainable at our homes. We emphasize low cost classes and team spirit. Members with a bad attitude or who try to exploit us financially will not be tolerated here.

   Some of the topics we'll be exploring is:

  - Gardening

  - Farm Animals

  - Food Preservation

  - Alternative Energy Stategies

  - Building & Maintenance

  - Composting 

  - The Wonderful World of Chickens

 

Have an idea? Know of a gardening event? Share it with the rest of us! 

There are a lot of recent concerns with the economy and world affairs in general. Growing and producing your own food and household products makes good sense for your budget, health, and the environment. Interest in becoming self sustaining has grown fast.

The intent of this group is to teach/share topics related to homesteading that combine the best of the old ways and the advancement of modern methods.

Along the way we may throw in some survivalist classes. We live in earthquake country, with wildfires an obvious threat also. Image the power going out for whatever reason.  Any one of us well prepared homesteaders would be comfortably enjoying a hot meal cooked in our solar ovens from home canned produce and backyard chickens while the local grocery stores are under mob attack. In another practical scenario, most households now have less income that needs to cover groceries that cost more than they used to. Some solutions are to starve or eat substandard foods with poor nutrition.  A much better solution is to grow your own food to save money and improve the health of your loved ones.
