What is a Gothic Homesteader?
Since starting Gothic Homesteading on Facebook back in 2013, more than once I have been asked just what is a Gothic Homesteader? Just about as often, I get asked, What makes someone Goth? And what is a homesteader? All great questions. I have over the years actually heard many explanations to what it means to be a Goth and to be a Homesteader. The simplest way I can explain it is thusly: A Goth is one who who sees beauty in the midst of a dark and dying world. A Homesteader is one who follows the homesteading way of life: a. raising what one can - fruits, veges, herbs, animals, etc., b. make what one can - clothing, food, all sorts of crafts, very diy ( which Goths are great at typically ), c. providing what they can for oneself and ones friends and family. A Gothic Homesteader is one who see beauty in the midst of a dark and dying world, and thusly lives the homesteading lifestyle. As both Gothic and Homesteading cultures are very DIY (do it yourself) orien
