One of the biggest misconceptions about homesteading is that you need land to get started. But the truth is, some of the most important homesteading skills don’t even require a backyard. Today, I want to share with you four foundational skills you can start learning right now—whether you’re in an apartment, a rental, or just dreaming of your future homestead. These are skills that will not only save you money and make your family healthier, but also give you the confidence to really get started when you finally do have enough space for bigger goals.

I hope this episode reminds you that you don’t have to wait for the perfect piece of land to start living a homestead lifestyle. Every skill you practice now, whether it’s cooking from scratch, gardening in pots, preserving food, or learning basic DIY things, sets a foundation for the future and makes this season meaningful too. Don’t get caught up in waiting for ‘someday’. Instead, focus on what God has put in your hands for today. 

Thanks so much for joining me!
