A homestead is an independent living lifestyle that encompasses a wide range of living categories. Most people that homestead focus on self-sufficiency in regards to food, energy and more.
Winter is a great time to chop firewood for your homestead! You’ll stay warm while working and can use the wood for cooking, heat, and crafting.
Maury County will kick off June with another festive First Fridays, as well as the inaugural Homestead Festival at Rory Feek’s farm, end of school bashes and more.
