homesteadingthat

Homesteadingthat is a term used in online discussions to denote a modern, practical approach to homesteading that blends traditional self-sufficiency with contemporary sharing and learning. It is not the name of a single widely recognized organization or publication, but rather a label that can describe a range of blogs, channels, and communities focused on practical living skills. The phrase emphasizes applying time-tested techniques in today’s context, often through community-based knowledge exchange.

Core topics associated with homesteadingthat include vegetable gardening and perennial food production, food preservation methods such as canning, drying, and fermentation, and small-scale animal husbandry. Additional emphasis is placed on composting, soil health, rainwater harvesting, and modest, energy-conscious improvements like DIY repairs, basic carpentry, and homeschooling or informal education around practical skills. Practices are typically adaptable to various settings, from rural plots to suburban lots and even small urban spaces with container gardening or balcony setups.

Content formats commonly found under this umbrella are how-to guides, project logs, tutorials, and personal experiences that document successes and failures. The tone is generally instructional and action-oriented, prioritizing affordability, resilience, and the development of transferable skills. The movement often highlights thrifty practices, repair over replacement, and community exchange, while recognizing that approaches vary widely among practitioners.

Impact and scope are informal; homesteadingthat-as-a-label supports knowledge sharing within the broader homesteading and sustainable living communities. Related topics include subsistence farming, permaculture, urban farming, and DIY household repair.
