  • In this video, I am showing you how we created our urban homesteading lifestyle. We don't own a lot of land or farm animals but are having a lot of fun making all sorts of things from scratch.

    Are you homesteading? Would you like to? What questions or comments do you have for me?

      I’m not a homesteader yet. But I would like to. With multiple allergies it would be in my best health interest.

      I haven't written before but have been watching your videos for about a month now. The first video was on darning socks.
      A friend and neighbor gave me a loaf of sourdough about the time I found you on UA-cam. You have SO many wonderful videos! I have watched the sourdough ones over and over. I've been baking sourdough bread for a bit now. I plan to enroll in the course but want to buy more supplies before I do.
      I grew up the way you did. My family had a farm and animals and did all you are speaking of. I'm getting back to living my life the way I grew up. Thank you for all the education and encouragement!

    This is great! I always secretly like to think I’m « homesteading » here in Paris (kefir, bread, canning, horse chestnut laundry detergent foraged in the Tuileries Garden... today my husband and I collected firewood that had amassed on the banks of the Seine by the Louvre museum) but I’ve felt silly thinking of it in that way. I feel less of a complex after watching this! Thanks. 🙏🏻

    Loving that I have found your channel. We have a 20 sq m veg plot in our garden plus I grow a few veggies in the flower beds too! We have tomatoes, runner beans, garlic, chard, apples, pears, grapes, plums, butternut squash, courgettes, rhubarb and strawberries. Not a bad haul for cold London. Bananas will always be a problem I fear😂😂

    Beautiful job, Anja! How wonderful that you are teaching people how they can homestead in any situation. My parents and grandparents lived in more urban/suburban areas and always grew fruit trees in their yards, canned jams and jellies, baked pies and bread, and had a vegetable garden. Lovely video.

    I feel a little late to the party. Came via your sourdough starter video. Thanks for inspiring sustainable living for those of us who aren't as rural as we'd like to be. These videos make healthy choices feel possible. I live 20 min outside of Ottawa, Canada and have wonderful access to farmers markets and organics but since the pandemic have worked on growing and making my own food and items. It's a learning curve for certain but so rewarding and now my daughter who lives in the city has started following what I'm doing. I will definitely send her to your channel. Thanks so much! Hopefully things will open in the spring so we can better support our small local businesses and supplement the wonderful skills you are teaching us here!

    So glad I came across you through your no-feed sourdough start. I'm great with the vegetable garden & cooking but the baking is like capturing the unicorn for me. I come from a similar background as my grandmother had a dairy farm and the other grandmother was heavy into botany. So glad to see the Homestead Community flourishing

    Thank you Anja for making homesteading sound like a real attainable goal. I follow several homesteaders who I love to bits, but their lifestyle seems out of reach for me. I live in a suburban neighborhood with a small backyard not even big enough for chickens. I do what I can, but I don't feel like a "real" homesteader. I appreciate your advice here and will be adding on gradually to what I do as I am able. 😊

    I was surprised that you live in CA. I live in CA as well with lots of shade. It’s definitely my number one challenge. I’m definitely going to check out your ebook. Thank you for your videos I love them all.

    Wow! This is great! How did I ever miss this video! I have been on this journey for a little while and I guess I never thought of it as homesteading since I don't have cows or goats etc.. although I've always wanted to homestead. I do have chickens though lol... I love how you said it doesn't have to be perfect and just have fun with it! I just wish I had more time. I just bought your book and can't wait to get into it. Thanks for all that you do and for inspiring so many of us. ❤️

    Is it cheaper to grind your grains for flours versus buying flour

    • @OurGabledHome
      @OurGabledHome  Рік тому

      It depends! If you buy in bulk and don't have to pay a lot for shipping, then yes. Especially when you think about how much fresher and nutrient-dense your flour will be (store-bought whole grain flour goes rancid pretty quick) ~ Anja

    I am only a couple years into all the changes. In the begining I felt so overwhelmed. So many things I wanted to try and do. Once i figured out that I should do just one or two things at a time and once I got that, then move to the next. That makes it easier. I also think it is a constant learning thing.

    • @OurGabledHome
      @OurGabledHome  3 роки тому

      Yes, it is easy to get overwhelmed but focusing on just a few things at a time is the way to go until you get the hang of things. Thank you so much for commenting and happy homesteading 💛 ~ Anja
