Start small with herbs and bread in your apartment kitchen, then build from there. The key is shifting from consumer to producer mindset, turning basic projects into habits you can expand over time.
What makes the homesteading that you practice and you promote different from someone else who's promoting homesteading?
The principle of homesteading is becoming more of a producer than a consumer. So start where you're at right now and apply that. Yes, I want to produce absolutely every single thing that we consume, our home, our electricity, by being off-grid. For most folks, it's going to be starting slow. Start in the kitchen. Even if you're in an apartment, everybody has a kitchen and everybody needs to eat. Anybody can almost do a little bit of herbs in a You're not going to be raising your own beef cattle yet. That's going to be very difficult, though I'm sure someone out there has figured it out and is doing it. What do we eat on a really consistent basis that I'm buying from the store that's already been done for me? Bread, for example. Instead of buying the bread, can you take the basic ingredients— flour, salt, water, yeast if you're not doing sourdough— and make your own bread? Do that until it becomes a part of your really normal routine. And once that becomes that habit that you don't really even think about it anymore, go ahead and add the next thing in.
