Homestead Circle

Welcome to our internet homestead. If you've got the itch to get off the grid, grow your own food, fix things with your own hands, maybe live a life a little less tangled in wires and nonsense, you've found your tribe. We swap skills, share hard-won lessons, and help each other live a little freer, a little closer to the land. Keep it respectful, keep it clean. This is a family-friendly porch.
