Our Story

Welcome to The Wannabe Homesteader! Our journey began with a simple desire to return to the roots of cooking, where meals are made with love and wholesome ingredients. Fueled by a passion for homesteading and the simplicity of farm-to-table living, we launched this blog to share our experiences, recipes, and insights.

As city dwellers turned aspiring homesteaders, we understand the challenges of starting from scratch. Our mission is to inspire others to embrace the homesteading lifestyle, no matter where they are in their journey. We believe that everyone can cultivate a homestead spirit in their own kitchen, and we’re here to help guide you along the way.
