For those setting out on their own journey into homesteading, I wish you all the best! It's not an easy journey, but with a simple dream, hard work and a passion, everything is possible. Remember, every small step counts. What may seem like small steps in the beginning, can lead to great results in the future. And the more people get successful with this lifestyle, the better it will be for all of us. To help with this I'd love to make the best content I possibly can for you, so if you can spare a minute I'd love to know… What is your biggest struggle with starting your own homestead lifestyle?
Thank you so much!

Great video and very inspiring, I left the USA some yrs ago and moved here to Tavira, the trouble is I live on my own and in my 60s and my dream was to create a similar project to yours but now I worry that its too late as without any help how on earth am I meant to do it. I am not afraid of hard work and very stubborn but I wish there was some way too connect similar individuals with help and resources, any ideas.
