"Down to the Roots" Organic Homesteading Magazine

What is homesteading anyway? The word "homestead" tends to bring to the mind of some people, of the stereotypical bearded men and long haired women in overalls milking goats, living remotely and tending organic gardens, a picture imbedded into our minds from the 'back-to-the-land' movement in the 1970's.

Homesteading today is not necessarily having 100 acres of land with trees to clear and build your own log cabin from. It is not having a milk cow, not having hundreds of feet of organic heirloom tomatoes to hoe. It is not just having to live off the land. It can be all of this, and yet it can be just a few mere aspects of it. It can be done from a third floor apartment, it can be done from a city lot, it can be a state of mind. The word "homesteading" I believed has evolved from the term that was used in years past. It is a simple living philosophy.

"I think "Down to the Roots" homesteading magazine is the best homesteading magazines being printed today. And I'm very calloused toward magazines of that type. This magazine is filled with info homesteaders today need to know about. A very hands-on friendly publication, unlike the other glossy slick publications who aim is to sell advertisements of stuff most of us have no use for. I subscribe to her magazine, and my budget does not allow me many luxuries. You see, Tenzi's publication is a necessity. Even I find stuff that I didn't know about between the covers of her magazine. When her publication arrives in the mail, it's like a visit from an old friend."
