Number 1: Homestead Rhythms: Preparing For A New Homestead Season
After a long winter break, we finally sat down again to record another episode of the Modern Homesteading Podcast. It had been months since we last talked together, and as we caught up, it became clear that even though winter can feel slow, homesteading never really stops. Spring is creeping in. The snow is melting in some places, the mud is arriving in others, and everywhere homesteaders are beginning to prepare for the busiest time of the year. This episode turned into a simple homestead update — talking about maple syrup season, garden plans, animals, compost, and the everyday work that makes a homestead function. And honestly, that’s what homesteading really is. Not constant excitement, but the steady rhythm of seasonal work.

Number 4: 21 Ways To Know You’re Growing In Self-Sufficiency (More Than You Realize)
When you start the journey toward self-sufficiency, it often feels slow. You look at everything you still want to do — grow more food, raise more animals, build better systems — and it can seem like you’re barely making progress. But here’s the truth: You're Further Along Than You Think! Self-sufficiency doesn’t happen overnight. It grows one small habit at a time. And many homesteaders are far more self-sufficient than they give themselves credit for. If you’ve been wondering whether you’re “there yet,” this list will encourage you. Chances are, you’re already walking the path — and much further along than you realize. Let’s look at 21 signs you’re becoming truly self-sufficient.
