Your home is your homestead.
Homesteading is a mindset:
Homesteading is a mindset:
- it is about believing in the interconnectedness with the earth
- it is about growing some or all of one’s food, and
- it is about using the kitchen to prepare food, to preserve food, to store food, and to serve food
Whether that kitchen is in an apartment, a condo, or a house, it is a key space for homesteading.
The Homestead Kitchen
What does a homestead kitchen look like?
Look at your kitchen- there it is!!
Take a look at your kitchen:
Look at your kitchen- there it is!!
Take a look at your kitchen:
- where do you serve food for you and your family?
- where do you prepare food?
- where are your pantry items, such as flour and canned goods?
- do you have some herbs growing on the windowsill?
- where is your favourite spoon for mixing and stirring?
- where do family or friends stand/sit while watching your prepare food?
If you knew the answers to the above questions, you have a homesteading kitchen.
If you didn’t have an answer, are you going to change things up? Do you need to? Do you even want to?
It’s your kitchen and a homesteading kitchen works for you, for your lifestyle, and for your beliefs.
A homesteader makes conscious decisions about living that simpler life, that connected life.
Today’s kitchen is the cornerstone of tomorrow’s.
