She Went From Homeless to Homesteader (Wicked Awesome Gardening)

  • Dani has always had an interest in growing her own food. She worked hard to have a garden no matter where she was, but when life came at her in full force she found herself sleeping in her car at Walmart. Dani says she is looking for security, “I don’t want anyone to tell me that I have to leave, again.” So, with the help of family, she bought a run down property on the outskirts of town. She is still working through her transition but her plans are beginning to come to fruition with a small garden and a few goats.

    Mr Wonderful lost his fight with cancer October 2019. Trying to figure out what to do when the pandemic hit. Couldn’t keep our home so sold and moved into a van, watching the housing market explode and trying to get back in somewhere. After 4 years of boondocking never paying campgrounds, rent or mortgage, I paid cash for 117 acres in Virginia. I just finished working a job in another state and tomorrow I’m heading back to my land to get started on my homestead. Life sure does have its ups and downs! Whatever your dream is, don’t give up.

    I went from homeless to homesteading in 5 years. Except I own my home outright. It was a very very hard process. I also have 2 acers with a stream and a mountain spring water fed home. It's a wood cabin home, 3 bedroom 2 baths. It's over 130+ years young, with all original wood floors, siding, and basically everything is original in the home. When we purchased the house, it was completely off grid. So we paid 40,000 for it. It was a long hard process that's for sure.

Or if the town will allow for nothing else, at least a new mobile home! I'll sell very cheaply or even give away this one to bless the next person trying to pull themselves up as long as they pay to haul it off!

    So many people on so many prepper channels complain that homesteading is only for the rich. I'm happy to see this video, because you are proof that anyone can do it if they set their mind to it! We couldn't qualify for a mortgage, but when the hammer dropped, I put my foot down and looked for money... We co- purchased 335 acres, seller-financed, with four other families!

      @@BreakingNewRoots Our micro-community has since collapsed, unfortunately, but the land purchase was done through a corporation that we formed in order to protect both the individual families as well as the collective. Like, because we have a corporate contract l, if someone doesn't make their share of the payments, we can legally sue type thing. So far that hasn't happened, but a few families have discovered that off-grid homesteading isn't up their alley because "money" is better, so they've left - but still making their payments. Shame, I say, as money is not important: healthy homegrown food is!

    This story touches my heart so much. Growing up in a military family, the oldest of four girls, the constant moving. No roots to speak of and always worried what my sisters and I would face. And then a young widowed mother of two boys, my life's security, a roof over my head, that I could trust seemed to escape me. Another huge situation at 62 had me feeling lost, and potentially homeless. One of my sisters, and her husband, was able and kind enough to solve my situation. We scoured for a reasonably priced property in a safe location. And approaching the deadline we found the perfect place in another state. I am so relieved in my spirit and wake up grateful everyday. 10 months in I have a small garden, and chickens, some household repairs done. And am excited for the future. Years of happiness flow just writing this. The nutcases in DC can pound sand. I am not playing their games anymore. I'm going to keep developing this place, with the first priority of paying my loved ones back such a tremendous gift they've given me. ❤❤❤

I think your Dad gave that to you and that is worth more than any money he could have given you. It is what has sustained you and gotten you where you are and will secure your future. You are also influencing your girls and passing on your positive attitude to them. And those goats are darling. 😊 As a single woman who raised 2 children on my own and I want to support other women who are entrepreneurs so I subscribed already.

    About a year ago on YT I learned about making compost in 5 gal.buckets. I have maybe 15 that I have scrounged, not purchased. I fill them with weeds (especially stinging nettles) & kitchen scraps (nothing goes to waste), then top off with water. They sit for a few weeks-months & become concentrated fertilizer tea. My soil was so bad at first, but in a short time, it's all become very green. When I see a plant that's not flourishing I pour some tea on it. Any solids left in the buckets I simply mix in with the soil then start filling it again.
    If you start eating meat you can sell your produce at a Farmer's Market.
    Anyway, your courage & persistence are admirable. Hats off to you ❤

    To anyone who thinks you cant do this.....
    OH YES YOU CAN!!!
    I turn sixty this year.
    I have been unable to work since 2005, due to illness 🤒😷🤕
    In 2020, hubby and I moved to a falling down farm. We moved here because we couldn't afford the healthy foods I needed to improve my health. For three years, I crawled around the garden (it's mostly sand, an ancient lake bed in Northern Minnesota.) This year my health is showing great improvement 🙌
    It is not easy. Life isn't easy. No one promised me a rose garden 🎵🎶🎵
    But every year, our health improves, our relationship improves, our homestead improves.
    My biggest dream now is that one of our grandbabies will learn to love this lifestyle & want to continue on after we are gone. But regardless of what will happen, we plant more fruit trees, more fruit bushes, and improve on the permiculture of our homestead.
    God has a purpose for what is being created here & He has been tremendously involved in the bounties we harvest every year. I am anxious to see what happens next.
    Sending Love & Blessings to your homesteads from beautiful Northern Minnesota ❤️

    "And then I saw Jessica Sowards" 🤯 same girl. Same. ❤ It was 2020, I had two tomato plants in pots on the porch and was working full time as an RN in hospital, and we all know what hit the fan. 💩 Made it 14 months then had to take some time off. Jessica Sowards entered my life via TH-cam. I started with a small garden, expanded it, expanded it again, put in a small greenhouse with a heat sink, learned to cook from scratch, learned canning, got chickens, found local farmers where I could purchase good meat in bulk. Upgraded the freezer. Ive not yet had to overcome what you have overcome. But damn girl, kudos to you!! We're in Amish country. Yes people do still live like this. ❤ Love the video. Well done friend. I hope you keep doing you. ❤

    I totally agree, I've been homeless myself and promised I would never let that happen again. But I rent.. and with things getting so high I'm finding it harder and harder to keep up. And just in the past month my oldest Daughter has informed me that she is going to move with a Boyfriend... This i didn't see coming. The way we were talking about the future was as if we moved it would still need together.. but it looks like I don't have that option any more. So within the next few months I have to find a place I can AFFORD on my own that all my Peeps can come with me... I don't plan on losing everything I have worked so hard on .... I'm just trying to find a place to live now. This is CRAZY to be in this situation at my age I'm 62 years old now and my body can't do what I used to... NOW what do I do...????

      Hate to hear that life is throwing you for a loop! Life is definitely a roller coaster and we can't always see the track in front of us. When we face a tough situation we always try to get a clear plan on what we want and where we want to go. Like how do we travel the country and visit small farmers to learn from our mistakes? Sell literally everything we own, move into a camper, and start making videos to share and try and bring in some income. Now that we are coming to an end of traveling and settling down again. We are faced with creating a new plan on growing food and taking the things we have learned and applying them. I wish the best for you and that your living situation can get to be one that you dream of!
