Our family has gone from the suburbs, to a very rural area, to now a hybrid area that is rural on the outskirts of suburbia.

In his little life he will have lived in five different locations, three of which were for over a year. Needless to say, we have moved a lot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three main places we have lived the last few years represent very different swaths of the American landscape.

However, we were never convinced this was the right fit. We had gardens, chickens, bees, fruit<br \/>trees, and most of what we did stood out &#8211; especially when we tilled up our whole front yard and planted a garden!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very Rural &#8211; In 2019 we took a big plunge and moved to small-town, rural America. We were about four hours away from our suburban home in a town of 411 people. We actually lived in town at this location, but worked nearby on a farm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rural\/Suburban &#8211; Where we live now is very much rural, but it is close enough to the suburbs to feel like everything is within a day trip. We have 5 acres and are surrounded by other farms with suburban amenities not far off.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale.jpg\" alt=\"carrying the milk pale\" class=\"wp-image-726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-600x350.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-1170x683.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-585x341.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-250x146.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-550x321.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-800x467.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-309x180.jpg 309w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-514x300.jpg 514w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/carrying-the-milk-pale-857x500.jpg 857w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Rural Living on a Homestead<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self Sufficient Living<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having some acreage in a rural area will allow you to live a self sufficient lifestyle.

So much of our days revolve around growing food and preparing it in the kitchen. Raising kids in this environment has so many benefits and really helps them connect the dots of where their food comes from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From feeding and caring for animals every day to seeing them be processed, everyone is exposed to the full cycles of life and death on the farm. This gives them a deep respect for the food on their plate and not wanting to see it wasted. Children also learn a strong work ethic helping with daily chores and other projects around the homestead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays.jpg\" alt=\"family starting seeds in trays\" class=\"wp-image-383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/starting-seeds-in-seed-trays-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we lived in the suburbs, we had lots of friends and people in our lives. But few relationships revolved around the shared values we had of homesteading, growing our own food, homeschooling, supporting other local growers, being in nature, etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we moved to a more rural area we didn\u2019t know anyone, but have since met many other like-minded families. Many of them have made a similar decision to leave the suburbs for a life of more purpose and self sufficiency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community is usually also strong in small town America in that there is a lot of local pride and support. We have seen many examples of the community rallying around each other and lending a helping hand.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freedom to Farm<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve tried farming in the suburbs, like we did, you realize it has its limitations. Some places will allow chickens. Some won\u2019t. Composting will be welcomed in some areas. Some will have rules against it. It was a wake up call for us when we accidentally ended up with a rooster in our backyard flock and got a stern warning form the County that he needed to go.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock.jpg\" alt=\"rooster with backyard chicken flock\" class=\"wp-image-1040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rooster-with-backyard-chicken-flock-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the place you live is built around agricultural pursuits, you don\u2019t run into these limitations. Just about everyone has animals in some form or another in the rural area where we live. It would be strange to not hear a rooster crowing at 5:00 a.m.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home Based Lifestyle<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because things are more spread out in the country, the norm is to stay home. We\u2019ve grown to appreciate the simplicity of this home-based lifestyle. This often means more opportunity for quality time together as a family and less opportunity for the expenses that pop up when you are out and about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also homeschool, and a rural setting has made the perfect classroom for learning valuable skills and experiencing nature firsthand.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead.jpg\" alt=\"cornish cross chickens on our homestead\" class=\"wp-image-663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cornish-cross-chickens-on-our-homestead-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wide Open Spaces<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hands down, rural landscapes are beautiful.

For us, this means planning our trips strategically so we can try to accomplish all of our errands in a single weekly trip. When we lived close to an hour away from everything, we tried to make those trips only once or twice a month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields.jpg\" alt=\"country road with farm fields\" class=\"wp-image-1036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/country-road-with-farm-fields-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opportunities<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opportunities and activities available to you are going to look different in a rural area versus somewhere more populated.
