To do tasks and chores relating to being self-sufficient from the home. Examples would include: mucking the chicken coop, making jam, setting up a rain barrel, turning the compost, or even cleaning house.
Can't go out Saturday 'cause I have a long day os homesteading Sunday. I plan to install a rotating bookcase to a secret passageway or make muffins.

A person who moves into a neighborhood at least seven years before the neighborhood becomes gentrified.
The Homesteader is very proud be a Homesteader.
The Homesteader enjoys regaling new residents with tales about all the homicides that took place where the Target now stands and the Starbucks that was previously a meth lab.
The Homesteader, if a homeowner, makes bank on selling. The Homesteader, if a renter, gets priced out within a year of the new fusion restaurant opening. Regardless, Homesteaders always find a new frontier to stake their claim.

Homesteader at one of the new brew pubs down the street, "When I moved here ten years ago no one had a smart phone. You had to agree to meet somewhere and show up. The only place you could get a beer was at a small dive bar. Cabs were too scared to come here. There were no bike lanes."

A girl who has moved in with a guy because he owns property, plays around the house outside, and trolls on the internet for people to listen to her tripe about 'living outdoors' and 'becoming self-sufficient' when this guy is not at home. Because after all, she is 'totally self-sufficient' pays no rent, works part-time, and lays about, and plays on the computer most of the day.

A city dwelling and garden focusing on sustainable practices through growing/raising food and preserving it for off season use. This can also include things such as knitting/crocheting, baking, recycling, repurposing, etc.
I couldn't believe the amount of beautiful produce coming out of the urban homestead next door, and then I smelled the fresh bread and I was in love.

An act passed by the American government to encourage migration westward. It was kind of a scam because the Great Plains were not very good for farming so the farmers resorted to dry farming. Although they dry farmed by day, they wet farmed at night, needing many children to help work on the fields.
