Join The Insteading Community For Free
We’re building a place for homesteaders to connect, share what works, and grow their skills.
About Us
Insteading helps people on their journey to live a more positive life—positive for themselves, for their neighbors, and for the world around them.
We’ve been doing that for years through our blog, but we realized that to truly fulfill our purpose, we needed more than a blog. Nobody feels like they belong just because they left a blog comment 😕.
So that’s what we’re doing here.
In the Insteading Community, we bring homesteaders of all types together to grow our skills, to solve challenges from Aphids to Zoning laws, and to build a like-minded community of people so that we can become more resourceful, more resilient, and more positive in our daily lives.
Your community is waiting for you!
We’re not just here to ask questions... we’re here to celebrate your latest projects and grow together, and we hope you will join us!
There’s also a lot of benefits to joining a community outside of places like Facebook Groups...
✅ Privacy is important. Insteading has the easy interface and security of Facebook without the part where they sell your data to the highest bidder. We’re supported by our members and paid content like courses, as well as the advertising on our main website and YouTube Channel.
✅ No ads. No spam. No fake news.
✅ No algorithms. YOU choose what you want to see. Curate your own feed. Follow topics and members who resonate with you the most.
✅ Access to a community of like-minded peers. The Insteading Community includes people of all skills and backgrounds exploring ideas, sharing success stories, and discussing lessons learned. Find members who share your climate. Find members in your region. Find members by topic.
