My Commitment to Honest Homesteading Advice

Welcome to The 104 Homestead! Here, I am committed to providing you with expert, trustworthy, and practical guidance to help you on your homesteading journey—no matter where you are or the resources you have. My goal is to empower and support you with honest advice rooted in my own experiences and research.

Expertise You Can Trust

With over 12 years of experience in small-scale farming and sustainable living, I’ve gained hands-on skills and countless personal success stories that guide the advice I share. From growing your own food to raising animals and cultivating sustainable practices, I’m here to help you navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories of homesteading.

When I offer advice, you can trust that it’s informed not only by my personal journey but also by reliable, up-to-date sources. I ensure all recommendations are accurate and actionable, so you can confidently implement them in your own life.

Transparency Is Key

I value your trust, and that’s why I’m committed to being transparent about how I operate:

  • Sponsorships and Partnerships: Occasionally, I’ll accept sponsorships or partnerships with companies and people I genuinely believe in and trust. These collaborations are carefully chosen to align with my values and provide value to you.
  • Affiliate Links: Several of my posts include affiliate links, primarily through Amazon. When you click on these links and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support the work I do here, and I always disclose when affiliate links are used.
  • Product Reviews: Sometimes, I receive free products for review. Whether an item is gifted or purchased, my reviews are always honest and reflect my genuine experience.

A Commitment to Improvement

Homesteading is a dynamic and ever-evolving practice, and I’m committed to staying informed and keeping my content accurate. If new information arises or errors are found, I promptly update my posts to ensure you’re always receiving the best guidance possible.

Supporting Community and Connection

I believe in building a supportive homesteading community where we can all learn and grow together. Here’s how I strive to connect with you:

  • Reader Questions: I prioritize answering your questions, whether they come through comments, social media, or newsletter replies.
  • Social Interaction: You can find me actively engaging with readers on Facebook and Instagram. Your feedback and ideas inspire me and help shape the content I create.
  • Occasional Contributions: While I rarely bring in guest contributors, I’ll sometimes invite someone I personally know who has more expertise on a topic my readers care about.

Our Shared Values

At The 104 Homestead, there’s no prize for being “The Best Homesteader.” I celebrate readers at all stages of their homesteading journey, from absolute beginners to seasoned pros. My mission is to support your unique goals with practical, realistic advice that helps you grow—one step at a time.

A Promise to You

I pledge to always provide:

  • Actionable, honest advice you can use in real life.
  • Transparent practices regarding sponsorships, partnerships, and affiliate links.
  • A supportive community where your questions and feedback matter.

Homesteading is about progress, not perfection. I’m here to guide you with kindness, expertise, and encouragement as you navigate your own journey.
