Our Journey to Build A New Homestead From Scratch
Sharing our journey to develop raw farmland into the homestead of our dreams.
Introduction
Greetings, fellow homesteaders and homesteading enthusiasts! I’m Marina, and I’m thrilled to have you alongside me as my little family of 4 venture into the captivating world of creating our new homestead. While I may not be a complete novice, I’m far from an expert. Think of me as your curious companion. Eager to learn and share the remarkable journey from a seasoned gardener and DIY enthusiast to an aspiring homesteader ready to tackle new challenges. Join us as we embark on this journey of how to start a homestead! Read more about our background here.
Though I’ve dabbled in gardening and both my husband and I have taken on our fair share of DIY projects, the realm of building a home from scratch is a territory we’ve yet to conquer. But here’s the exciting part: I’m dedicated to research, exploration, and translating my findings into valuable insights for both you and me.
This blog isn’t just about showcasing the polished results; it’s about digging into the heart of homesteading through diligent research. Together, we’ll sift through information, connect with experts, and uncover those golden nuggets of knowledge that empower us to create our personal havens of self-sufficiency.
Follow our journey as we develop raw farmland into the homestead of our dreams! Starting from scratch, we share our experiences from searching for land, financing the land, all the steps involved with county regulations, water rights usage, county permits, and developing a homesite on the land. We will walk through pulling power to the build site, deciding on the layout of the homestead, building a shop, building fences, and bringing animals on to the land.
Meanwhile, I share our homesteading journey from a small homestead of 1/4 acre in a subdivision located in a small farming town of Twin Falls, ID. I share homesteading projects such as raised garden beds, my gardening journey, and food preservation. I hope you follow along!
