Homesteading [hohm-sted-ing]
noun
- an act or instance of establishing a homestead.
- the act of loving where you live so much that you actively ignore the fact that your house is trying to kill you on a regular basis.
For Kathi Lipp and her husband, Roger, buying a house in one of the most remote parts of Northern California was never part of the plan; many of life’s biggest, most rewarding adventures rarely are.
Kathi shares the hard-won wisdom she’s gained on her homestead journey to help you accomplish more at home, gain fresh perspective, and give yourself grace in the process. Here’s a handful of the lessons Kathi shares:
- Prepare before the need arises
- Everything is always in process, including us
- Your best household solution is time and patience
- You don’t have to do everything the hard way
- Be open to new and better ways of doing things
- A lot of small changes make a huge difference.
Highly practical, humorous, and inspirational, The Accidental Homesteader will encourage you to live with more peace, joy, and contentment.

I just love this book! Beautiful pictures. Delicious recipes. And chickens. Whether you’re a full-fledged homesteader or simply interested in dipping your toe into the homesteading waters, this is a must-read. Kathi and Roger Lipp became accidental homesteaders while working full-time with their jobs, jobs they continue to this day. Real people. Real challenges. Real life.

I have read a number of Kathi’s book and this is my favorite so far! First, it’s amazing to look at! The photos are stunning and makes you wish you could jump in and get cozy at the long wooden table that Roger built, dining under the stars and lights while having a nice long chat with friends, while Moose settles in on your lap! So many practical tips, stories, and recipes! As I type this I have the oatmeal recipe cooking in my slow cooker now! Did I mention I just received the book today? As I enter a new chapter in my life and think about my next home I know couldn’t have picked a better book to be inspired by! Pick it up asap and one for your friend too! It’s so good!
