Little Homestead in the City Largest and most comprehensive site on urban homesteading. Since the mid 1980's the Dervaes family has transformed their urban into an integral urban homestead. These eco pioneers are the force behind the modern urban homesteading movement.
The beginnings of a new way of life for my family by using mostly free and salvaged materials. I am SAHP of 3 children , 2 homeschooled. As a matter of neccessity, I have always lived a simple life from living in a tent to a trailer, made my own clothes and refrained from credit and frivilous purchasing, and have a very DIY attitude about life.
Random Ramblings of my Addled Mind. I am new to this whole gardening, chicken raising, urban homesteading idea. Follow along as I navigate this new way of life and coax my family along. You will see our home and projects as we progress and will get a communityside seat to my intermittant rants and ramblings too. You never know what you will see here because I don't know what is going to happen next.
