Homesteading Advice was created to help people just like you live more simply, more resourcefully, and more independently — whether that means growing your own food, preserving the harvest, raising livestock, or just learning to do more with what you already have.
This site brings together decades of experience publishing trusted resources in the self-sufficiency space. Well over 20 years ago, I launched a website that became one of the leading sources for information on worm composting online, and not long after, another dedicated to backyard chickens. Since then, I've been curating, creating, and sharing practical advice to help people build useful, hands-on skills that actually make a difference in everyday life.
Homesteading Advice isn’t about presenting a perfect off-grid lifestyle — it’s about exploring the many ways we can take back a bit more control, whether that’s in our garden, our kitchen, or our mindset.
This site is our way of sharing what works.
Inside the membership area, you’ll find a ton of real-world guides you can download and keep for life.
No fluff, no filler, just useful info that helps you build the skills you need - whether you’re starting from scratch or already deep into your journey. And because everything comes with lifetime access, you’re free to learn at your own pace, on your own terms.
While I’m always experimenting with new ideas myself, the heart of Homesteading Advice is about learning and sharing. I don’t claim to have all the answers — but I’m committed to finding good ones, testing them thoroughly, and passing them along.
Whether you’re dreaming of going off-grid or simply want to be more independent in your own backyard, if you're curious about homesteading, self-reliance, and doing things just a little differently — you’re in the right place!
