Food costs are on the rise. Every time we go shopping, something we need has gone up in price or is just flat out not available. Out-of-stock is common.
And it’s not only food. Many key items are getting more expensive or hard to get. And thats where homesteading and learning to become self-sufficient comes in. Gaining the skills to take care of yourself, even when the items you used to buy are no longer available.
And it starts by simply learning to cook at home, spending more time as a family, and even making clothing.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
You wouldn’t be here if you were not already feeling the pressure. Yet there is so much to learn. And what if you live in a rental? Or worse, an apartment?
But here’s the thing: You can learn to be self-sufficient and homestead no matter where you live. You can even put those skills to use.
Being self-reliant and sufficient does not require lots of farm animals or a huge property. It’s about who you know and about preparing the resources that you and your family need to survive in the future.
