52 Homestead Skills

A self-taught homesteader’s one-year journey to learning a skill a week.

Do you want to know the secret to becoming an accomplished homesteader in one year? Challenge yourself to learn one homestead skill a week for an entire year.

In 52 Homestead Skills Kimberlee Bastien shares her adventures with making mozzarella cheese, learning to knit, building a beehive and becoming a beekeeper, raising ducks and chickens, planting fruit trees and saving seeds, and creating her own healthy alternatives to laundry soap, dish soap, cough syrup, and more.

Kimberlee emphasizes that if you want to start your own homestead, just dive in and do it!

“The learning never ends,” says Bastien. “And that’s OK. Because life without a challenge would be BORING.”
