The article outlines the author's journey into homesteading, which began in 2015 when the desire to live more authentically and sustainably took hold. Reflecting on their early days in a modest suburban property and later purchasing a derelict farmhouse, the author recalls how the motivations for homesteading were personal rather than political. Initially, it was a romantic endeavor shared between the author and her husband, focusing on building a life together and connecting with nature.
The idea of homesteading back in 2015 was more about personal fulfillment and self-sufficiency, rather than being steeped in any political ideologies or movements.
When we decided to homestead, we thought of it as a romantic endeavor to build a life together, not about conforming to societal expectations.
