-
- Home & Garden
It's fairly easy to look at things critically and determine if homesteading is a good fit for your family -- look at things like income and available cash, desire to do the work, and whether it's compatible with the life you want to live (ie working for food vs world travelers, for example), etc. But what about the gray areas, the things no one really talks about? The things you can't concretely and quickly "solve" about this life? Things like feeling alone because no one you know "gets it," or reasoning out WHY you prefer the hard work of raising your food over simply hitting the grocery store. Who can you turn to? How can you overcome these hurdles?
