This desire is steadily growing stronger by the day. I find myself reading about homesteading, growing my own food and self-sufficiency for hours every day.
I am wondering if this feeling will pass in time or continue to grow. I thoroughly enjoy making things; however, to be honest I'm am quite lazy when it comes to manual labor. I don't know if I am up to the physical challenges of homesteading, but also know that it doesn't necessarily have to be a complete back-breaking, labor-intensive proposition. I am learning that there are many ways to garden and raise animals that don't require dawn to dusk labor.
The more I read about how inhumanely many animals are raised and slaughtered on factory farms and about genetically modified food, the more I want to know what's actually in the food I feed my family and where it comes from.
More on this later, but in the meantime I'd love to hear your thoughts and personal stories on this subject.
