About Us

Homesteaders of America was created to be a space, in person and online, for homesteading education, encouragement, and community. Over the years, we’ve learned and grown together more than we could’ve ever imagined. We take pride in knowing that a homesteader can be anyone who wants to live a more self-sufficient lifestyle—whether it’s in a high rise apartment, or on a 100-acre ranch. Learn more about our organization here.

So you’re thinking about bringing home a family So you’re thinking about bringing home a family milk cow? There is a lot you need to know before you fill that first pail with milk including what dairy supplies you need to get started so you have the milking equipment on hand from day one!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Obviously, much of the milking equipment used today are luxuries compared to pioneer times. Technically, all you need is a pair of hands and a bucket. (Some would argue a stool, but I squat so it’s not a necessity.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But we’ve learned a lot since those days and can ensure we have cleaner milk, a healthier cow, and less stress at milking time with a few extra dairy supplies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥛LEARN MORE-->> https://homesteadersofamerica.com/family-cow-dairy-supplies/ #homesteadersofamerica #homesteading #homestead #growyourown #selfreliance #prepper #familycow #cowsofinstagram #homedairy #rawmilk #homesteadersofinstagram #farmlife
Would it even be a conference without the man hims Would it even be a conference without the man himself, Mr. Joel Salatin??! And with all of the families that attend the conference we are loving his topic this year! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌱 TOPIC: How to Work with Your Kids So They Will Want to Work with You on the Farm⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ABOUT JOEL⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Joel Salatin calls himself a Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer. Others who like him call him the most famous farmer in the world, the high priest of the pasture, and the most eclectic thinker from Virginia since Thomas Jefferson. Those who don’t like him call him a bio-terrorist, Typhoid Mary, charlatan, and starvation advocate.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With 12 published books, and a thriving multi-generational family farm, he draws on a lifetime of food, farming and fantasy to entertain and inspire audiences around the world. He’s as comfortable moving cows in a pasture as addressing CEOs in a Wall Street business conference.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He co-owns, with his family, Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia. Featured in the New York Times bestseller Omnivore’s Dilemma and award-winning documentary Food Inc., the farm services more than 5,000 families, 50 restaurants, 10 retail outlets, and a farmers’ market with salad bar beef, pigaerator pork, pastured poultry, and forestry products. When he’s not on the road speaking, he’s at home on the farm, keeping the callouses on his hands and dirt under his fingernails, mentoring young people, inspiring visitors, and promoting local, regenerative food and farming systems.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Salatin is the editor of Stockman Grass Farmer, granddaddy catalyst for the grass farming movement. He writes the Pitchfork Pulpit column for Mother Earth News, writes guest articles for Acres U.S.A. and other publications and is often a guest on radio and podcasts. #joelsalatin #homesteadersofamerica #homesteading #homestead #growyourown #selfreliance #prepper #homesteadersofinstagram #farmlife
There's gonna be waste on every homestead and farm There's gonna be waste on every homestead and farm so why not put it to good use and turn it into some good old black gold for the garden?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn how to make your own compost from start to finish! https://homesteadersofamerica.com/composting-start-finish/ #homesteadersofamerica #homesteading #homestead #growyourown #selfreliance #prepper #garden #gardening #homesteadersofinstagram #farmlife
Liberty. What a powerful word seated in the Declar Liberty. What a powerful word seated in the Declaration of Independence. If you haven't read the opening of the United States Constitution, let me share it with you here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The kicker here is that a piece of paper is only the beginning. Those rights we are all blessed with at the time of birth have had to be fought for over the last few centuries. Change doesn't happen overnight, it takes time. Brave men and women have gone to war. Brave men and women have stood in court houses fighting the judicial system. Brave men and women have stood in pavilions in their communities to help bring light to darkness.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All for one reason—liberty. Because you see, freedom doesn't come free. It must be fought for—in deed, in integrity, on battle fields, in courthouses. And today I hope that, more than anything, you remember those brave heroic men and women who have served, who are serving, and those who have served and never made it back home. Because liberty is the thing that gave them the enthusiasm to rise above human nature and perform acts of bravery and heroism.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As you celebrate Independence Day in America this weekend, remember that the good fight never ends. We live in a modern world where our food and health system are corrupt. We live in a modern world where people are fighting for freedoms in so many different ways—the freedom to backyard chickens, the freedom to practice herbalism, the freedom to farm, the freedom to live a life of liberty...whatever that may look like for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Independence Day. May we ALL remember how blessed we truly are here in this country, and yet, how far we still have to go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #homesteadersofamerica #homesteading #homestead #growyourown #selfreliance #garden #gardening #homesteadersofinstagram #independenceday
