what is mobile home homesteading today's video is a unique look at 365
days here on the homestead I wanted to share with you a glimpse of my life for
one whole year mobile home homesteading was something that I inspired me about
10 years ago 10 years ago I started looking into mobile home homesteads and
it really couldn't find any information on it you had all kinds of videos on
people who had land with cabins and off-grid homes and showed low income
budget for having a mobile home on a homestead sisters they built homesteads
they took a piece of property and they built a cabin on it most homesteads were
not very large at all because they had horse that would have to do all the
plowing of the ground for them so homesteads were very small and that's
why they were called homesteads then you had the farms and you had the ranches as
the years gone by so the word homestead was basically like an acre even less
means didn't have large plots of ground simply because they had livestock they
had to keep it going so here I am mobile home homesteading and then about seven
years ago I started researching on the internet about mobile home homesteads
didn't find hardly anything even to this day there's not much about it and I
thought why not why not share with you what we did so we took a dilapidated 1
acre property the mobile home was basically in shambles we fixed it up and
now we're using the ground and tending to it like it was meant to be
we have grape arbors large gardens herb gardens chickens all of those things
that make us a mobile home homestead keep working on my choice because spring
is just around the corner but let me show you a little bit what it's like to
live in a mobile home homestead and this time of year
all right everyone let me show you what the garden looks like this winter season
and then I'm going to share with you a very special video so here's my
composter and all winter long and all winter long I've been collecting these
large sticks these are going to be being teepees for my beans this coming spring
and summer I think that's very important to me is using what I got and using
every resources here on the homestead that's heating with one that's using
wood everything we have here we use it to the best of our ability instead of
mowing our front lawn we turned it into garden we have a very large garden and
we turn it into creating and growing our own food I have an extensive herbal area
of property boundaries I think it's great to have a boundary line at your
property and so we turned this into a grape arbor I use all of my grapes for
making jelly and for grape juice and it's a long Arbor in fact I'll show you
how long it is
that is how you can make your own fence rail using something that you can
actually enjoy in the fall when we harvest all these grapes I get bushels
and bushels of grapes while it may not look like much now this is going to be
bursting with all kinds of medicinal and herbs these are all the traditional
Colonial Williamsburg herbs that came over to Pennsylvania I like to have a
lot of historical herbs and so this is what you're gonna be seeing this summer
and there is the mobile home homestead it's not much to look at right now
because that's because it's the winter time but come summer and spring all of
those trees are bursting into green and beautiful in fact a homestead doesn't
even look the same it's not all fun and games takes a lot of physical work to
have a homestead but it keeps you in shape I'm very strong and that's because
of all the work I do here on the homestead
there's a rhythm of life that goes on and I take each day as if it's my last
because you just never know how long you'll be able to do the things that you
enjoy doing
but it's a very rewarding life so now let me show you what it's like on the
homestead for 365 days and I think you'll be inspired
