This guide is a collaborative effort between Lauren @themilleracres and Jessica @prairie_creek_homestead.

Jessica has been gardening and canning her entire life, and now her and her husband farm on over 1,000 acres. She brings knowledge, experience, and family recipes that have been enjoyed for generations to the table!

Lauren is a new homesteader who lives on 2.5 acres right in the middle of the city. Although she did not grow up homesteading, she learned all of the skills in this book in less than a year's time. In the guide, she breaks down realistic, step-by-step tips for people who have no background knowledge about these skills. If she can figure it out, you definitely can, too!

We collectively combined the knowledge that we have gained through hours of research and lots of trial and error to save you time and overwhelm when starting out as a new homesteader.

Imagine becoming more self-sufficient and being able to provide home-grown food for your family right where you are.

Picture yourself planting your own organic food, canning and preserving the harvest, and cooking from scratch with simple ingredients.

You don’t have to wait until you have more land or more money. There are so many affordable homesteading skills that you can learn to do within a small space.

With The New Homesteader’s Handbook, your slow living dreams can become your reality!

Plus, you’ll get LIFETIME access to this 130+ page guide and recipe book. You can work through it in order or skip around to the sections that you are most interested in and ready to learn.
