Another crazy week on Milo’s Farm as I gave myself a fantastic bruising in a dodgy dismount and got involved with some homesteaders on Instagram in a sticker share! Read on to learn more about this fun filled week!
How to start a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle
Being eco-friendly or living more in tune with nature tends to come part and parcel for homesteaders. Many will have their own vegetable garden or hens for eggs. Or some grow their own farm raised food in meat hens, rabbits, pigs or cows, and others hunt and forage in the wild. whatever the preference, I tend to think and believe that homesteaders as a broader community are probably more eco friendly and eco conscious than others.
