Greetings! Throughout this page you'll find essays on a variety of subjects. The thread which runs through them all is the somewhat elusive concept called Homesteading; the label most used to describe our lifestyle. It is a satisfying, if sometimes hectic, life which doesn't admit boredom to its world. We hope to share with you here both concrete ideas and imaginative inspirations. We have fun in the living; we hope you enjoy the browsing.
        I'll be adding to the selections from time to time, so do check back. Most of these articles appeared, in one form or another, first in the pages of "Countryside" magazine - America's Homestead Journal. Visit their website at www.countrysidemag.com. Some articles are updates to our book, "Homesteading Adventures".
        Check out the Gardening page for articles related to gardening.   

We share the information here with you freely. If you choose to print out any of the words please do so on 100% recycled paper. The forests are worth it, and so are we. Should you want to use a small portion of these articles to quote in a publication of your own, please give proper credit, and let me know where it is used. Thanks!      Sue Robishaw and Steve Schmeck

      "Today the howl reminds us that our past is deeprooted in wildness ... It epitomizes the wilserness we have fought so successfully to conquer and now must fight to save."     John Theberge
