The Unexpected Gardener

by Sabrina Key

You don’t need a huge amount of land or animals to live a homestead life. The modern definition of homesteader is “lifestyle of self sufficiency” and we will talk about all things that make you get closer to that. I’m a city girl that learned self sufficiency skills and I am determined to start a food revolution, teaching others to start right where you are. Things could get salty as we explore topics like gardening, sourdough, the broken food system and breaking free of the system that wants to keep us obedient.
