Organic Gardening, Modern Homesteading, Renewable Energy, Green Homes, DIY Projects – MOTHER EARTH NEWS. Grow Your Own vegetables For Self Sufficiency and Sustainability. Self Sufficient Living. Magazines (and Websites) About Homesteading and Self-Sufficiency. When I was a boy, my father used to buy Mother Earth News from the grocery store.
The magazine was filled with stories about self-sufficient country living, the sort of thing my dad aspired to. I’d read the magazine after he was finished, but never really understood the appeal of building your own greenhouse or raising goats. Now, as an adult, it makes a little more sense. Kris and I are not radically self-sufficient, but we do enjoy growing our own food. (And she recently agreed that we could get chickens!) The content at GRS reflects my interest in the DIY lifestyle. Though our own adventures in self-sufficiency are limited, they’re edifying, and I admire those who do even more. After spending last Saturday planting peas and pruning fruit trees — and contemplating where to put a chicken coop — I took some time to research the current state of homesteading magazines.
