Determining Your Homestead Goals
The first step in homesteading is deciding what direction you want your homestead to go. Do you want to focus on animals? Do you want to focus on growing your own food? Do you have what you need to get started? Trying to do it all right out of the gate may be overwhelming or even prevent you from starting. I recommend picking one thing to focus on until you have mastered that one thing. Then start on the next and before long you will be living your homestead dreams.
