Free land from the government may be a thing of the past, but the spirit isn't. The modern meaning of 'Homesteading' is more than just living on a farm though. Most people who use the term mean a simpler back-to-the-old-ways, self-sufficient lifestyle.
Please submit sites describing modern homesteading/self-reliant rural living. Sites describing a particular homestead, and sites providing information useful to homesteaders are all most welcome.
