For me being a homesteader is a mindset. It is what you want and strive toward the way of becoming more reliant upon yourself. Some homesteaders live in apartments in the city, others in suburban homes with gardens while some have the opportunity to actually live VERY rural with livestock- to me there is not just one clear definition of homesteading/homestead/homesteader. It is what you want it to be and what makes you happy.
I already UPvoted and resteemed but will be back to make a post hopefully today
Good luck everyone!!
