Homesteading is really cottage-core plus self-sufficency. Little House on the Prairie.

Gardening on crack. Not commercial farming.

Honestly...I got 9 hens now, and they are amazing. Literally the best pets. My wife wants to become a homesteader and live that life. Get some acreage, build a nice home and a nice area for the birds. Maybe Get a goat or two. Step up the gardening game.

The wife would probably have to quit her job, but she's only working part time at a grocery store. Her employee discount (20%) is more valuable to us then her paycheck, and we don't need that if we mostly living off our own grown food.

Would likely have to wait until the kids are a bit older and can help out more, too.

And for interest rates to go down...I refi'd in early 2022, I ain't given that up.

But it would be nice to be able to sell off a portion of land of we find ourselves hard off for cash. Or to know that my kids will have a place to build a home if the market falls flat on its face.

How much acreage does it take to feed a person? How does it scale?
