Building a modern suburban homestead can take many forms - you can do it for nearly $0 like Jacques did, you can splurge on some key features you LOVE like I (Kevin) did with my pond and chicken coop, or you can slowly inch your way towards your sustainability goals over the years. All are valid! When I first moved into this home, it was a bare lot - a thin layer of woodchips strewn over a sod-scraped 1/3 of an acre. Slowly, I added systems to help me transform the landscape - rainwater capture

Among all the systems we’ve set up at the Epic Homestead, the rain capture system is hands down my favorite. While the design has changed over time, the idea stays the same: capturing, filtering, and directing rainwater into a holding tank, ready to be pumped wherever it’s needed for irrigation. I’ll admit, it’s not always more affordable than city water, but the self-sufficiency it offers is invaluable.

PASSION FRUIT FENCE - This project was our favorite of the year, and SO easy to grow! At the Epic Homestead, we have a 5,000 gallon rainwater cistern that, while AWESOME, is a bit of an eyesore. So we wanted to cover it with something that grew fast, but ideally produced something edible. Enter passion fruit, one of the best options for a vigorous, edible vine. Not only are these fruits delicious, they also cost around $4/fruit at your grocery store...IF you can even find them. With the ability

Growing your own fruit is easier than you think. With the right varieties, a bit of knowledge on how to space, plant, and prune, and a dose of patience, you can grow better-than-grocery quality fruit in the comfort of your own home. We've got about 50 fruit trees growing at the Epic Homestead, all producing abundantly sweet, nutritious fruit. It's one of the most rewarding parts of the garden - and once you get it set up, will pay you for decades to come. | Epic Gardening
