About Us
Empowering modern homesteaders, from balcony pots to backyard farms.
Our Story
Urban Suburban Homestead started with a simple question: What if anyone could experience the joy of growing their own food, regardless of their living situation?
We’re a family of homesteaders who started our journey in a small apartment with nothing more than a few pots on a sunny windowsill. Over the years, we’ve expanded to a suburban backyard filled with raised beds, fruit trees, and a thriving garden that feeds our family year-round.
Along the way, we learned that the principles of homesteading aren’t about having acres of land—they’re about intention, connection to your food, and the satisfaction of self-sufficiency. Whether you have a single pot of herbs or a full-scale farm, you can embrace the homesteading mindset.
Our Philosophy
We believe in a practical, realistic approach to modern homesteading. You don’t need to quit your job, move to the country, or go completely off-grid to live more sustainably. Small steps matter—every tomato you grow, every jar you preserve, every skill you learn brings you closer to self-sufficiency.
Our approach centers on:
- Start where you are. Whether it’s a windowsill, balcony, or backyard, you can grow something.
- Learn by doing. Hands-on experience is the best teacher. Don’t be afraid to fail and try again.
- Progress over perfection. Focus on gradual improvement rather than trying to do everything at once.
- Community matters. Sharing knowledge and supporting each other makes the journey more rewarding.
- Sustainability is personal. Find what works for your life, space, and goals.
