Creating a Modern Homestead: Traditional Skills for Real, Everyday Life is an inspiring and practical guide for those seeking to embrace simple living and self-sufficiency in their daily routines, regardless of where they live. Written by Victoria Pruett, the book offers invaluable insight into traditional homesteading skills, making them accessible even in urban or suburban settings. Whether you live in a house with a yard or in a small apartment, Pruett shows that it’s possible to incorporate homesteading practices into everyday life.

The book covers a wide range of topics aimed at building self-reliance, including from-scratch cooking, food preservation, and raising backyard chickens. Pruett’s approach is far from daunting, emphasizing that homesteading doesn’t require an overwhelming time commitment. Instead, she provides easy-to-follow advice that allows readers to take actionable steps toward a more sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle. The chapters dive into:

  • Cooking from Scratch: Offering 126 recipes for breads, main dishes, and desserts.

  • Building a Robust Food Supply: Guidance on stocking up a pantry for long-term food security.

Pruett’s style is approachable, practical, and encouraging. She is the perfect guide for both beginners and those already on their homesteading journey, offering a balance between traditional skills and the realities of modern life.

Her personal journey from a suburban house with no yard to a thriving 8-acre homestead in Central Texas adds a relatable and inspiring layer to her teachings. Her focus is on integrating these skills into busy modern lives, so readers won’t feel overwhelmed by the prospect of spending hours in the kitchen or garden.

In addition to practical advice, Creating a Modern Homestead offers real-life stories and experiences that make the book feel like a conversation with a trusted friend. Homesteading isn’t just about farming or off-grid living; it’s about cultivating a sustainable, meaningful life in whatever environment you find yourself in.
