The One Acre(or less) Homestead

There’s a movement within the US population to head towards increased self-sufficiency and insulation from the effects of governmental action. What does this really mean? Simply it is taking action to be as independent as possible and reduce the effect of economic and social trends on your life. 

Being more self reliant can be very beneficial during times of shortages or rising prices. As preppers, we prepare for interruptions to such things as power, transportation, medical care, and food supply.  Many people are overwhelmed at the thought of running an entire farm to provide the necessary things for their family. There are many examples of people who have created homesteads one acre or less and are incredibly productive. While they may not provide 100% of their year-round food supply, they are very much insulated from the effects of economic downturns.

The following video is one such example of a one acre homestead.
