Logan Barber
“I personally connect with homesteading because I am passionate about self-sufficiency and sustainable living, so it felt like a perfect fit. I decided to focus my project on teaching that homesteading isn’t about owning land or having a big budget. It’s about the mindset you bring into it. It’s not the acres you have or the money you spend, but the intentional changes you make in your lifestyle to become more self-sufficient.”
