    Question What is homesteading?

    I haven't heard the word before seeing it here.

    What is homesteading and how is it different from simple or natural living? Just wondering. It sounds very interesting but I wasn't quite sure what it was.

    I thought the main definition is more of a lifestyle of making your own from what you have - such as gardening for food needs, livestock for other food needs (such as chickens for eggs, etc.), sewing for clothing needs -

    at least that's what I describe homesteading as - ??
