We all came to self-sufficiency for different reasons… and we all do it a little differently. Some of us plan every planting date months ahead. Some would rather be in the barn with the animals. Others can’t resist filling just one more jar during canning season.

So let’s have some fun — what type of homesteader are you at heart?

Cast your vote, then tell us in the comments if it fits… or if we missed your category entirely!

i am definitely frugal and really want to keep every bit of whatever i might eventually need for something else or recycle it or use it in the gardens as organic nummies for the worms and plants.

it is very very frustrating for me to live with someone who doesn't get it at all nor does she often care why or how or whatever. i take deep breaths and try to move on... i may beat me head against the wall a few times first.
