Homesteading has become vogue with Millennials, college and universities, school systems and those looking to return to the land and cultivate food and materials for their use. Broadly defined homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency but its roots can be traced back to 1862 when the Homestead Act was signed into law by Abraham Lincoln.
The law allowed people to receive free land from the United States Government in exchange for developing a homestead farm within a certain period. If all obligations were met, the land the newly established farm sat upon become property of the citizen.
