Homesteading isn't supposed to be impossible.
Homesteading is supposed to be a money saving venture. So why has it become the most expensive (and unsustainable) undertaking you’ve ever tried?
It seems like you have few choices to really get a homestead going. Rely on grants and loans or spend decades pinching pennies and daydreaming about your perfect property.
In this empowering and creative book, Perma Pastures Farm’s Billy Bond and Tennessee Homestead Design’s Matt Hundley show you a whole-system approach to homesteading with absolutely no outside inputs—a philosophy they call “scrapsteading.” As homesteaders who built homes, businesses, and farms with virtually no financial capital, they understand the endless opportunities to intercept waste and redirect it towards homestead systems.
