Hey there, fellow aspiring homesteader! I’m the voice behind microhomesteader.com, and I’ve been knee-deep in small-space self-sufficiency for years now. Like you, I started with a tiny backyard in the suburbs, dreaming of fresh eggs, homegrown veggies, and a pantry full of preserves—without needing acres of land.
Our Story
It all began when I got tired of grocery store tomatoes that tasted like cardboard. I squeezed raised beds into my postage-stamp yard, added a few chickens, and suddenly felt that rush of independence. Trial and error taught me what works for beginners: start small, like container gardening or sprouting microgreens on your windowsill, and build from there. Now, microhomesteader.com is my way of sharing those hard-won lessons so you skip the flops I made.
Our Mission
We make micro homesteading doable for anyone—apartment dwellers, busy families, or backyard beginners. It’s about growing your own food, raising backyard critters, and preserving the harvest in limited space. No overwhelming full-scale farm vibes here; just practical steps for food security and joy in the dirt.
