Homestead Photos and Pictures
This is now the desktop wallpaper on my computer. I'm not sure where it's at exactly, but this homestead photo looks to have been taking in Appalachia - perhaps North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky or Tennessee..

Do you have photos of your own homestead you’d like to share? Please leave a comment with a link to your photo below (links to homesteading/organic gardening/sustainable living sites only).
These photos remind me of the ones in my grandmothers photo album. My mother was raised on a homestead in the then rural area of Williamsburg, OH. Of course, homesteading was the way of life for my grandparents and probably yours too. I sometimes feel that I am not living up to my roots because I don’t know how to can vegetables yet and am not a very good sewer. (Is that part of it?) I remember going into my grandmothers pantry and seeing stacks and rows of canned beans, tomatoes and peppers; I even remember sitting around the kitchen breaking beans. Even being only a first generation “city-girl” there is still a lot to re-learn about the natural way. Thanks for providing a platform. Do you having any advice about building a small greenhouse for Ohio winters?
I don’t have any advise. I just can relate to what your saying. I, too, can remember living in the country and mom sending me to the garden to get food for dinner. What a life!
I am trying to get back to the simplicity and like you am looking at land and off grid living. Good luck getting your info for the greenhouse.
The fifth picture from the top sure looks like one I’ve driven by many times in northern Arkansas.
