 Welcome to Episode 25! So, we can't count the number of times someone has asked us over the years,"can you make money farming or homesteading?"Usually the question is more revealing than any answer I could provide, for it fails to consider one of the most obvious benefits of homesteading: saving money. Because, the truth is that homesteaders have far more opportunities to eliminate or reduce expenses than most people do.

the value of buying cheap (infertile) land and restoring itunnecessary expenses you can do without

what and how to barter to build your homesteadthe importance of paying for quality
how your need for vacation and entertainment changes once you move to the countrySo, if you're looking for ways to tips and inspiration to become more self-sufficient, you won't want to miss this. So grab some coffee and pull up a chair!
