Ever wish you could disconnect a little from the system and start relying more on yourself?

You're not alone.

More and more people are feeling the urge to become self-sufficient… grow their own food… reduce waste… make their own household items… and take control of their lifestyle.

But there’s one huge problem:

Most homesteading advice is made for people with the desire to go live off the land in the country.

Not for people like you... who live in a city, or a small space, or just don’t want to uproot their life to “go off grid.”

That’s exactly why I created Homesteading on a Small Scale Made Simple for Beginners, a book written for the rest of us.

From Manhattan Accountant to Self-Sufficiency Enthusiast

When I first got interested in homesteading, it was because of those reality TV shows.

You know the ones… families building cabins, milking cows and growing huge gardens on massive acres of land in the middle of nowhere.

It looked pretty cool and also empowering… but completely out of reach.

I was living in Manhattan. No yard. No balcony. No clue.

It felt like every book, blog, and YouTube channel seemed to assume I had land, money, and time to spare OR that having a massive homestead living off the grid was my end goal (it wasn’t and still isn’t).

That’s when I realized, if I wanted to start living more sustainably and self-sufficiently while also continuing to live in the city… I had to figure it out on my own terms.

So I did.

I started small.

I focused on the reduce and repurpose aspects of zero waste sustainability. 

Instead of throwing away my kitchen scraps I started composting them for use in the community garden. 

Instead of throwing away clothes I no longer used I started recycling them at drop off locations in my community. 

I found ways to waste less and live more intentionally.

Fast forward to today, I'm no expert but I’ve packaged a wealth of knowledge into this simple, actionable beginner-friendly book designed for people like me that just want to learn how to take back some control in their lives.

If you’re ready to start homesteading your way on your terms too, you’re in the right place.

With under 130 pages, this book is jam-packed with useful, small-scale suburban or city living solutions for people just like you (without all the fluff).

Here's just a taste of the practical solutions that you'll find inside:

This book is for you if:

  • You’ve heard of homesteading but have no clue what it actually is or where to start

  • You live in the city or the suburbs and think you can’t farm without a bunch of land

  • You want to learn different ways of being more self-sufficient, self-reliant and sustainable in your daily life

  • You’re interested in homesteading but don’t want to commit to a full-scale off-the-grid live-off-the-land lifestyle

  • You like to read and learn about new things

  • You're looking for ways of being more present and mindful in your life

Full disclaimer, this book might not be for you if:

  • You're looking for a super detailed A-Z instructional manual on homesteading. With under 130 pages of content, this book is designed to provide a 101 style introduction to all the different ways that you can start living more intentionally and self-sufficiently by incorporating homesteading skills into your daily life in the city or suburbs. The chapters are purposefully curated so as to not overwhelm you with a bunch of very technical information. The goal is to make this a digestible feat.

To Be Honest, This Isn’t Just a Book. It’s a New Way of Living.

You don’t need a farm to homestead.
You don’t need a barn, a big budget, or a backyard.

What you do need… is a willingness to start where you are.

Most people want to be more self-reliant…

…but they never start, because the information out there feels overwhelming & unrealistic to follow.

This book gives you a different path.

And all for less than the price of a takeout meal.
