Urban Homesteading

Growing skills. Growing community.

Welcome to our Urban Homesteading community—a space where self-sufficiency meets connection. Our mission is to help individuals and neighborhoods reclaim control over their food, health, and economic well-being.


We believe these skills create not only healthier families, but stronger, more resilient communities. By providing resources, hands-on training, and ongoing support, we equip you to take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable, equitable future.

Homesteading with us means learning skills like:

  • Subsistence agriculture & collaborative gardening
  • Home food preservation (canning, pickling, fermenting)
  • Cottage industry & entrepreneurship
  • Seasonal cooking and wellness practices

Why Urban Homesteading Matters

Urban homesteading isn’t just about growing food—it’s about growing independence. It’s about turning vacant lots into thriving gardens, kitchens into learning spaces, and neighbors into collaborators.

With each garden planted, meal prepared, and skill shared, we:

  • Reduce reliance on outside food systems
  • Build food security in our neighborhoods
  • Strengthen local economies
  • Foster community pride and connection
