The Beginning of All on a Postage Stamp: City Homesteading

Published on November 17, 2025 at 11:01 PM

Welcome to the  start of my urban homesteading journey, "All On A Postage Stamp: City Homesteading!" This blog is my way of sharing what I know, what I've tried, and what I continue to learn about finding abundance and self-sufficiency on a very small plot in the middle of the city.

Like many, I don't have acres of land or a sprawling farmstead. Instead, I have a modest space, a postage stamp, really, and a passion for growing food, building skills, and creating meaningful connections with the earth and community right where I live. City homesteading is about embracing creativity, resourcefulness, and patience. It's about proving that you don't need a lot of space or perfect conditiond to grow something beautiful, useful, and nourishing.

My journey started with small steps: containers filled with herbs and greens, a few homemade preserves, and experimenting with easy DIY projects that fit my lifestyle and scheduale. I quickly leaned that urban homesteading isn't about perfection. It's about progress, trial and error, and celebrating every small harvest and success.

This blog will be a space to document those experiances, share tips I've found helpful, and inspire anyone curious about living more sustainably, whether you're on the 12th floor apartment building or have a cozy backyard.

I'll be honest, I'm still learning how to navigate building this website, creating engaging content, and balancing this passion with the reality of everyday life. I don't have endless time to devote to posting, but I'm committed to sharing as often as I can with honesty and heart.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure of making urban homesteading work, all on a postage stamp!
