The only Homesteading Series you will need


Welcome to the Exciting and Rewarding World of Homesteading!

For 26 years, we were homesteaders. During the first 11 years we also worked fulltime, and then we retired early. I worked part time with a publishing company (just in case I didn't have enough to do "on the farm"). Now fully retired, I've had time to reflect on our time on the farm, and I realized that if we'd had some kind of guide to help us - we would have been so much better off, and saved ourselves a lot of time, effort and money. Back then, there was only the Farmer's Almanac and your neighbors to depend on... I wish we'd had a series like this by someone who has been there/done that to share insights and ideas for us, every step of the way.


In my "previous" life (i.e. pre-homesteading) I was a power systems engineer with a background in physics and astrophysics. I designed power management systems for space systems that utilized solar panels. After 10-12 years of being the only female in the room, the innuendos became tiresome, and I left the field. However, this experience gave me the knowledge to make sure we had a solid solar power system.  


Combining my knowledge in physics and power systems, with all we learned about Homesteading, and the added experience in publishing - it just made sense to combine all of these into a series of books to help future homesteaders to experience a shorter learning curve than we had, and information that will help you to homestead well into the future including modern technologies mixed with old fashioned know-how and knowledge.
