21. Becoming a Locavore
Eating locally is more accessible than one may think (in the US). There is an abundance backyard gardeners, first time homesteaders and CSA (community supported agriculture) around! If you want to become a local eater, I highly recommended “The Locavore Way” by Amy Cotler. It’s a wonderful book explaining all The Who, what, when, where, why and how with additional readings and a list of videos too!

9. Homesteading Where You Can
My idea of homesteading came from the desire to learn to grow a garden. From there, I learned to grow vegetables and continue to add in more “homestead-y” projects as money and time allows. Buying from the local farmers market or taking a weekend trip to the country side and visiting the farm, may just be the ticket you need to get inspired to implement what it is you home to learn and grow as a homesteader. No matter your location, you can homestead where you are - it just may look a little different than what you had in mind. Prioritize what it is you want to focus on and look for creative ways to start it.

2. Things I re-use in my Home.
Homesteading is so much more than animals and growing vegetables. Homesteading is a spirit. It’s being a good steward with what we are blessed with. It’s spending money wisely and stretching a dollar. I have enjoyed the challenge of re-using things in my home and trying to look at things differently to see how I could potentially reuse that “thing”. I hope this episode inspires you to cultivate the spirit of homesteading where ever you are.
