The Homesteading RD
Welcome, friend! Ryan and I have been homesteading since 2013, but we're starting our NEW homestead from scratch in the north woods of Minnesota. We're currently living in a 960 sq foot hunting cabin and are doing our best to live off our land - gardening, raising chickens, hunting, and foraging. Come along for the journey and learn some self-sufficiency tips along the way!
