Organic Gardening

For homesteaders, gardening is more than a hobby – it’s a lifestyle. Organic gardening teaches us a life of self-sufficiency. It teaches us how to develop a close connection with the land and respect the ecosystem surrounding us while enjoying what nature has to give. As organic gardeners, we do not disrupt the surrounding environment by introducing chemical pesticides and synthetic additives. We enhance the existing ecosystem in natural ways like using companion planting techniques, composting and planting native species.
