Every home and yard has the potential to become an urban homestead. Every family can discover the age old ways of the pioneers who learned how to live off the land instead of out of the store. Centuries of great ideas are unknown today, but through this group we'll rediscover how to grow, make or recycle all we can to live better on less. From the hardscrabble farms of the Ozarks to the California hippie communes, this is where the old may give and the young may learn. Perhaps together we'll get back to the basics of life.
