"To me and my family homesteading is not only a state of mind but an actuality, really living the lifestyle. It means having a love of the land, and all that live on it, in its fields, woods, rivers and lakes. Being a part of nature as the beasts and birds and fish that inhabit the land. Homesteading means being as self sufficient as one can be growing whole natural foods on our own land free of chemical and
commercial furtilization and contamination. Using nature's own furtilizers. A wonderful feeling of freedom and contentment, to watch the fire burn on a cold winters night, knowing the woodshed is full of dry firewood, there is hay in the barn and the animals we keep are safe and content in out of the elements of winter on a cold night. Knowing that what we have is a result of our own labours in the various seasons. Celebrating the harvest with much thanksgiving to our creator, and the feeling of being so fortunate to live in a land where we can do these things where we have choices."--- Bill Crowe
