Homesteading Resources and Tips

A Lifestyle of Self-Sufficiency

Homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. Tractor Barn would like you to explore some tips and resources about homesteading. Contact us for the equipment you need to run your farm or home.

Homesteading

"The broadest definition is that it is a lifestyle with a commitment to self-sufficiency. This can include growing and preserving food; providing your own electricity with solar, wind or water; and even making your own fabric and clothing. Some homesteaders aspire never to use money; they want to make or barter for everything they need. Others may take a more measured approach, and although they aspire to provide as much as they can for themselves, they may be okay with using some money and working for pay—either as an end goal or during the transition to homesteading."
