Day in My Life as an Urban Homesteader
Urban homesteading to me is all about investing time and energy into the home economy and ecosystem through growing food and herbs, recycling and upcycling waste materials from my local neighborhood, and trying to depend on the global supply chain (as opposed to the local and community based economy) as little as possible. I convinced myself that this kind of lifestyle would only be possible with rural land to steward at the center but I've been able to implement many practices while continuing to rent in the city. It's not always glamorous or easy but living this way gives me joy and purpose every day - I am sharing this as I have learned so much from observing other's on their alternative living journeys on Youtube and hope to contribute a little seed from my garden.
