Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

I'm curious if anybody else is doing urban homesteading. I've just started reading about it and I'm finding it absolutely fascinating.

My first step: breadmaking. I've made baguettes, pitas, and ciabattas and I'm planning to try the Artisan Breadmaking in 5 Minutes A Day strategy.

We're talking about bees and chickens, but I'm not too keen on bugs or poop. So we have a couple of hurdles.

We're definitely planning a garden and contemplating build-your-own solar panels. Anybody have a fantastic source for organic seeds?

Am I the only Smoosier learning about this movement?
