Homesteading skill growing celery

Welcome to Spruce Acres Homestead!

I am Steph: a business major turned homesteader.

I am on a mission to learn the skills to be self-sufficient by growing food, living simply, and teaching others how to do it too!

Spruce Acres

I believe anyone can learn simple homesteading skills to save money, gain health, and cultivate a self-sufficient lifestyle. Whether you live in the sprawling countryside or a sprawling metropolis, homesteading skills can be used anywhere.

Here at Spruce Acres we’re committed to the continual learning and sharing of new skills and resources for using the practices of the past, to create a self-sufficient lifestyle.

That’s right, our own goal is to have a self-sufficient homestead and we’re sharing our mistakes, lessons, and best practices so that you can do it to – no matter where you live.

The best place to start is to pick something and dig in! Learn what you can, execute it and keep on going.

Having a mentor is the best place to start! Check out HERE so that you can get a leg up!
