I started gardening on my own with a small community garden plot and south-facing balcony. Now that we’re on our homestead, I sill use so many of the same strategies.
We practice organic, no-till gardening and permaculture principles with everything that we grow and do here. The goal is to minimally disturb the soil and harvest as much homegrown food as possible to feed a family and be self-sufficient. We also value native plants and the pollinators and insects that depend on them for survival.
Homesteading and gardening can be holistic, regenerative, and sustainable.
