About
Welcome to Becoming Homesteaders I'm Jenni Lynn. I am passionate about homegrown organic foods and becoming more self-sufficient on our little urban 1/4-acre plot of land. We have a goal of getting back to a simpler way of living, producing all our vegetables, and preserving all that we can. I am excited to see where this new mind set will take us.
