“Self-sufficiency means taking ownership of your life—growing, making, and doing for yourself because it’s worth the work. We strive for it to build resilience, find freedom, and depend on our own hands and knowledge.”

INDEPENDENCE
Independence means having the skills and mindset to take care of your own needs and your family’s well-being. It’s about being resourceful and confident in your ability to provide, no matter what challenges come your way. Independence empowers you to make choices that align with your values rather than relying on outside systems.
PERSERVERANCE
Perseverance is essential because self-sufficiency isn’t always easy. Whether it’s growing your own food, milling your own grains, or maintaining a homestead, challenges will come. Perseverance means sticking with it through setbacks and hard days, knowing the reward of self-reliance is worth the effort.
GRATITUDE
Gratitude keeps you grounded and motivated, reminding you to appreciate the simple things that come from your hard work—like a pantry full of home-preserved food or a meal made from scratch. It also helps you find joy in the process rather than just the outcome, making the journey more fulfilling.
