Interesting to see how the meaning of homesteading has evolved over the years. my great grandparents. were homesteaders in southern North Dakota. all of your basics were provided by the land. I too now see this as a term of self sufficiency. We only run on 21/2 acres. We grow less now that our family has grown up. But we used to grow enough for us and supplemented our income at the local farmers market with the overflow.
