Why We Homestead

Have you ever wondered why people would choose to homestead? Honestly, the answers are probably as varied as the people who choose the lifestyle, but in this volume we explore the reasons why one particular family chose to quit the city life and move into the middle of nowhere. Near the end of 2015, Papa-Pepper quit his job, sold his house, cashed in his 401k, and moved 750 miles away to live in the middle of nowhere out in the Ozarks. With a simple plan and dream, his family set out to purchase some debt-free land and build a house out of pocket. Amazingly, that crazy dream was manifested into reality and they now live a rather connected life enjoying the simple things in life. With common activities like gardening, raising livestock, foraging for wild edibles, exploring creation, fishing and hunting, it's a good life, especially when so many expenses can be eliminated or avoided.
