About the Homestead Revolution
Hi! Welcome to the Homestead Revolution!
There is something happening in society, and it’s big. People are starting to realize that what the modern lifestyle calls “progress” really isn’t good for any of us, or for the earth. They crave something more…more but less. There is a movement back to our roots, back to a simpler, more fulfilling way of life.
The Homesteading Revolution is upon us.
And you can join the movement too, even if you don’t have a lot of land or space.
Call it Tiny Homesteading if you want.
I’m Laura Covalesky. I’m a blessed and happily married mom. I feel in love with the homesteading lifestyle years ago at the beginning of my career as an active duty Air Force officer. It all started with trying to lose weight and learning about organic food. And once you open that door and really start learning about how our food is supposed to be compared to how it is, there is no turning back. I jumped head first down the homestead rabbit hole, and have had no desire to climb back out.
Constantly moving around meant that there were certain “iconic” parts of the homestead life style that I couldn’t exactly do…livestock was out of the question, the military wouldn’t move large stockpiles of home canned foods, and as soon as I would almost get some sort of growing plant to stay alive (which was rare to begin with), it would be time to move again, and I would have to start all over.
So, rather than lament those iconic homestead activities that I couldn’t do, I started to focus on what I could do, and re-defining what exactly it meant to “homestead”. Homesteading is an attitude toward how you choose to live, just as much as it is taking certain actions toward a simpler, more self-sufficient lifestyle.
No matter your situation, you can define your own version of what homesteading means to you, and start working toward changing your lifestyle for the better.
My mission is to help people learn old fashioned skills and live a more simple lifestyle in a way that works for their situation.
You don’t have to go through life accepting the culture and options society wants to push on you as the only choices you have.
We can return to a society where systems don’t control the people, but where people control their own system. We can restore our civilization to a place where food is healthy, medicine is safe, community ties and relationships are strong, and faith, freedom, and liberty are the foundation upon which individual independence is built.
And that’s why I am here. Welcome to the homestead community! You are not in this alone, and I can help you change your life!
