City, suburb, or rural – it doesn’t matter where you live, you will find the information and presentation of this magazine a joy. My copy is passed through so many hands, young and old, and eventually reaches someone who collects every issue.

Since 1968, I’ve been subscribing to common-sense lifestyle magazines for homesteaders, and I can confidently say that THIS MAGAZINE delivers the very best and most useful content in the present day. It is my ONLY such subscription after 20 years of waiting for a good one, and when I found them online, I subscribed that very minute. If you want good writing on topics important to you, now or down the road, you are well-advised to sign up here for a year’s worth of the best. Very glad that I did.

Look forward to this magazine every month! After I have thoroughly read each article I then pass it onto my neighbor. I am a wildlife rehabber. I find many articles that help me with my “ critters.” Thank you so much for providing this great resource!

This magazine was exactly what I have been looking for. A printed magazine with helpful articles, recipes and information from my favorite youtubers. The pictures are beautiful as well. And with the really high prices of magazines in stores today, the annual price for the number of magazines here was awesome.

I really enjoy this magazine as a young homesteader. I would love to see more pictures; such as gardening pictures, flowers, barns..ect
I am a bit sad that they are going to 6 magazines instead of 12. I enjoy getting “snail mail!”

Rated 3 out of 5

Cute magazine with beautiful pictures, but it’s not really for me. I was raised on a farm and am fairly familiar with preserving most things, and my husband was raised with livestock so he is very knowledgeable about that. I don’t need articles about basic things… if I am lacking knowledge it is something deeper. ex. understanding how to get a cow to accept her calf when she is hormone deficient. I wanted to learn more, but most things I am already familiar with or they don’t apply to our farm. It would be good for someone with very little experience. It does supply some idea formation- so not a waste. I just don’t reach for it to learn new things.

I love receiving my monthly Homestead magazine. The sense of community I feel when I’m reading it is refreshing, and the articles are always based on real people and experience, their knowledge they share is immensely helpful. My mom enjoys the magazines as well. Neither of us have a ton of property or time in our schedules right now to homestead other than the basics, but these magazines inspire us and teach us how to do what we can with what we have!

Homestead Living has helped IMMENSELY and the articles and insights have changed the way we manage our homestead, livestock, and produce. Without this content, we’d be lost! Thank you all so much for your continued efforts to make available this education and information – you all make a difference! Xoxo from Wisconsin

I absolutely love this Magazine! I’m not a big magazine reader but I’m interested in homesteading. Before the magazine, I didn’t really know anything about homesteading. The magazine is a perfect balance of things I’ve heard of but don’t know anything about (so it’s good for a beginner) and things I never heard of that is really interesting. I’m so grateful to the magazine, the people willing to lend their knowledge and the affordability of that knowledge.

I have really enjoyed my subscription to the magazine. I look forward to it each month, especially when they feature Salatin. Some articles do seem very off the wall for a typical homesteader so some editions don’t go as far for me. But I do love the practical nature of the articles and recipes. I hope they add more offshoots into homeschooling and more homemaking.

I can’t wait for each magazine to come in. I enjoy the physical copy and have told my daughters all about them. I’ve learned so much from the special people and the willingness to teach us from their knowledge and experiences. So much effort goes into each magazine. I love it and just signed up for another year.

Colleen Jorda

Love this periodical !! While some of the articles don’t pertain to me (I’m a city dweller) it has made me more intentional about how I run my home. I shop, cook, clean and do laundry the way God and nature intended. Getting back to basics is wonderful ! I thank all the contributors for their outstanding articles. Just re-newed my subscription too !!

My plan isn’t to create a homestead, but there a lot of great ideas for living a simpler, healthier life. I really love reading the articles. I’ve learned a lot.

Elisa M Gray

No one I know seems to be interested in modern homesteading, so I look forward each month to the magazine arriving in my mailbox. Good ideas, but mostly just reassurance that there are other crazies out there as well.

Homestead Living magazine is an absolute gem for anyone passionate about self-sufficiency, sustainability, and country living. Every issue is packed with inspiring stories, practical how-to guides, and stunning photography that captures the true spirit of homesteading.

What I love most is the magazine’s balance between old-fashioned wisdom and modern innovation. Whether it’s tips on organic gardening, raising chickens, DIY projects, or seasonal recipes, the content is always useful, encouraging, and thoughtfully written.

The expert advice feels down-to-earth and accessible, making even complex tasks feel doable. I find myself looking forward to each new issue — it’s like getting a dose of fresh air and motivation straight to my mailbox.

Homestead Living has quickly become one of my favorite resources and an important part of my homesteading journey. Highly recommended for anyone who dreams of a simpler, more connected lifestyle!

The content is great. I have not come across such good content put together in one Magazine. Homestead Living may involve living off the grid, where there is no utility service apart from internet and mobile network services in some cases. My observation is that, there are no articles about off grid power for homesteads, or communication solutions where mobile networks do not exist. Maybe this is not part of the scope for this magazine. Let me know you thoughts.
Thanks much.

I love getting these in the mail each month. They’re packed with good information. I’ve been researching and studying and doing a little homesteading here in the city and can’t wait to have our land soon.

I love this magazine sometimes I don’t have enough time to read them month by month, but I was on vacation for a week and I went through six of them during that week, it was really good information. I need to read them more on the month because I could use some of that information in my garden, but I love the magazine.

Suzi Wollman

I LOVE receiving my Homestead Living magazine every month! Although I spent my teenage years on a homestead and lived on one high in the mountains in New Mexico as an adult, I am learning so much! Preparation for a new homestead on acreage soon is so exciting when I have Homestead Living to help me learn.

An absolute MUST HAVE for anyone considering homesteading or even those looking to become more independent. Great articles by well written authors. I’d HIGHLY RECCOMMEND HOMESTEAD LIVING MAGAZINE. I get the paper print that way I can go back and reread some of them again. Thanks HOMESTEADING MAGAZINE for a magazine tailored to my way of life.

This magazine has been a really great supplement to other research and content on homesteading. It has led me to other great resources as well. I appreciate seeing stuff from all the big names like Salatin and Norris consistently. I do think they could eliminate some of the more wild topics or make shorter entries about them and cover more common topics for new homesteaders. Very happy with it and will subscribe again.

I love Homesteading Monthly! The articles are extremely well written, knowledgeable and helpful. There is not an overabundance of advertisements, and the ones included are relevant and interesting. There’s something special about the magazine’s paper quality too. It’s not glossy and overpowering. Somehow it feels homey, graceful. I look forward to getting my HM in the mailbox every month and setting it on my bedstand. And having access to past articles on the HL website is amazing! I am very glad I subscribed.
