    There is a lot to learn when it comes to homesteading. In this post I’ll share with you the skills I’ve learned so far and many helpful resources to help you get started learning something new! There is an endless amount of things to learn and experience.

    7 IMPORTANT HOMESTEADING SKILLS

    Homesteading is a lifestyle in growing your self sufficiency skills and creating a home that provides the basic necessities for a happy, joyful life. We choose to purchase land, and move out of the suburbs for more breathing room.

    What started as a dream has turned into raising our own cows and chickens, a large vegetable garden, a permaculture food orchard and continually learning new skills as we grow as a family.

    If you’d like to learn more about our own homesteading journey, follow me on instagram for updates and read our about page. I’d love to connect more with you on your journey.

    Some of the important homesteading skills to know are the perfect place to start when discovering how you will meet your basic needs on your homestead land.

    1. GROW A VEGETABLE GARDEN

    A garden is the perfect place to start growing your own vegetables, fruits, herbs and medicinals. There is lots to learn about growing your own food, I always suggest starting with choosing the perfect location, and planting perennials.

    Learn more about growing your own vegetable garden in this post.

    2. COOKING FROM SCRATCH

    Learn how to cook from scratch, by using your own homegrown ingredients and meat that you raise on your homestead to start creating meals that require less from the store.

    This may start by simply adding a salad to your plate in the summer to a full out homegrown meal for your family.

    Learn more basic tips for baking from scratch in a simple kitchen.

    3. RAISE LIVESTOCK

    Are you considering raising livestock or animals for meat on your self sufficient homestead? There are a lot of options, and I highly suggest starting small and doing your research before trying everything all at once.

    Discover the best farm animals for beginner homesteaders here. in this popular post.

    4. SAVING SEEDS

    Saving seeds is a powerful skill to learn as you grow your own vegetable garden. Imagine growing the same set of beans that your grandparents saved? Thats what Melissa K Norris has done.

    To learn more about seed saving basics here.

    5. BASIC CARPENTRY

    Basic carpentry skills will help you more than you expect and save you a ton of money.

    6. WINTER SURVIVAL SKILLS

    As a homesteader, especially if your goal is to live off grid and be self sufficient winter is a crucial month for survival. Building a repertoire of skills to help you make the most of the dark, cold dangerous season will help you succeed.

    7. ESSENTIAL OILS AND HERBAL REMEDIES

    Use essential oils and herbs as a way to practice self-care in natural and holistic ways. Make essential oils part of your self-care routine by turning on a diffuser with relaxing oils like lavender or chamomile during your nighttime routine, or put some sweet orange or bergamot oils in the morning when you are writing in your journal or doing morning yoga for energy.

    Learning how to incorporate herbal remedies into your everyday life is extremely helpful for keeping yourself healthy on the homestead. If you live far from a doctor or prefer to try natural methods before over the counter than this might be a skill you consider learning.

    For learning about herbal remedies, I trust and recommend The Herbal Academy.

    57 Homesteading Skills for 2022, Wandering Hoof Ranch
    No matter where you are at in your herbal studies, the Herbal Academy has a training program for you! The Introductory Herbal Course is a good place to start if you are new to herbal medicine.

The Intermediate Herbal Course begins with an introductory unit as a review, and then quickly advances into more complex topics. The program dives in deeper, working through each body system and discussing the herbs; their actions and energetics; their safety and side effects; in-depth coverage of anatomy and physiology; and guidance for herbal formulation. The Entrepreneur Herbal Course is geared towards herbalists who have already studied at the beginner and intermediate levels, who want to make and sell their own herbal products. Lessons on sourcing herbs, Good Manufacturing Practices, labeling requirements, writing a business plan, and creating a brand are some of the many lessons included in this fast track program! The Advanced Herbal Course is an in-depth program geared towards students interested in becoming clinical herbalists. This program picks up on the body systems not fully covered in the Intermediate Course, and covers more complex topics including herbal wisdom traditions, health and wellness of men, women, and elderly, assessment and herbal therapeutics, and steps to becoming a clinical herbalist; as well as regulatory and legal obstacles facing professional herbalists and herbal products businesses.

          I completely agree! I had no idea when we started our homestead, how much work and new skills we needed to learn!
