Homestead business may not be what you think…or maybe it is. Last week I asked a few of my fellow homesteading friends to tell me how they are supporting their homesteads from home. I think you’ll find their homestead business interesting, surprising and you just may find something you need!
I hope you will get some ideas to help fund your homesteading efforts; and maybe find something you need as a way to support these homesteaders.
Getting a homestead going and maintaining it can be an expense; it is good to have a home business that can offset those costs. I have always had a home business, but since homesteading it has become even more important (have you seen the price of canning equipment?). My homestead business is Kick the Chemicals – it has been a help to my home and homestead to bring in an extra income; and helping others to get toxins out of their homes is awesome.
So what are my friends doing for their Homestead Business?
I’m so glad you asked!
