Victory Homestead

Victory Homestead.......

This new term transcends the old fashioned Victory Garden. A Victory Homestead provides more self-sufficiency to each individual who develops one. A Victory Homestead does not need to be limited to growing only a garden. You may find a few chickens laying colorful eggs, a milking goat providing rich, nourishing milk, a compost pile used for replenishing the garden soil, a beehive providing abundant pollination, fruit and nut trees, or a host of other items that contribute to a diverse environmentally friendly ecology.

Today's fast paced, fast food culture is only a few generations removed from where knowing where our own food comes from and how it is produced. Providing for one's own dietary needs is a completely foreign concept. But we can take back the power we have given to big business by turning back the time of hand and providing for our own needs once again. This can be accomplished when individuals create their own Victory Homesteads.

While a Victory Homestead may be a homestead with a few acres in the country side, successful Victory Homesteads may also be situated right in the midst of urban sprawl. These urban homesteads make the most of the space available to them. An excellent example of an urban Victory Homestead can be found here. This is living proof that you do not need a farm or acreage to be self-sufficient.

In fact, sometimes I find myself even thinking....if only I had more land.... More land? What am I thinking? I need to utilize what I do have. Only until I do that would I possibly need more land. And trust me....it's going to take a long time to fully utilize the land on my little homestead.

Victory Homesteads have the ability to not only feed the owner, but also produce enough for others. If many individuals adopted the concept of Victory Homesteads, we would revolutionize our country, we would empower individuals and take the power away from big business, we would feed the hungry, we would be healthier, we would use less of our limited resources.

So what's preventing you from beginning your Victory Homestead today? Take a few small steps to begin the process today for a brighter tomorrow. You can't eat an elephant in one bite. Start with one bite at a time.
