Growing Back to Our Roots

The way of the future is for young generations to recognize a lifestyle shift of Growing Back to Our Roots to find self-sustainability for our families.

Many remember recipes and stories told by mothers and grandmothers in the kitchen. However, few are willing to put on the apron themselves and learn skills that produce handcrafted, meaningful work. Are we really willing to settle for store-bought, frozen dinners because we never learned scratch cooking or listened to the original how-to sources of our ancestors?

The generations of this modern world hold a reputation that shows a lack of interest in understanding the previous generations. They are more consumed with creating trends to pretend rather than actually living the lifestyle. The “farmhouse” lifestyle is more than white walls, shiplap, and wood accents.

On the other hand, young eyes are beginning to seek the revival of a slower way of living. They are giving new life to the vintage style by using it in modern homes. They are using modern technology and social media to start a movement back to the roots of the older generations.

Growing back to our roots does not require sinking savings to buy a farm. As a matter of fact, homesteading is not finding a physical location to acquire. Homesteading is a mindset and the willingness to build a self-sufficient lifestyle. It’s a lifestyle chosen by those who want to remember their ancestor’s traditions and way of living.
