Grocery prices rose nearly 24% in five years. Perhaps that’s why more people are micro-homesteading than ever, even in the most urban of neighborhoods. Micro-homesteading is where every part of the yard is converted to food producing vertical gardens, small chicken coops, bee hives and more. A 2023 survey by Homesteaders of America found that almost half of the 4,000 respondents were under 39, encompassing both Millennials and Gen Z. The stated motivations included food security, healthier eating, and wanting a simpler lifestyle.
