Rediscovering the Simple Joys of Homesteading

Who Are We?

Welcome to The Oklahoma Homesteader, where we share our passion for backyard homesteading. Our journey began when Daniel, who is disabled, discovered his love for organic gardening and cooking from scratch. Melissa, his partner, also began making natural products, such as homemade laundry detergent and home remedies. Our goal is to inspire and educate others that no matter where they live, they can homestead and embrace a simpler way of life.

Together, we want to encourage everyone to get back to the basics and live a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Melissa also owns and manages ConsumerQueen.com, where she blogs full-time about deals, coupons, and more. We also share our love for travel on RoamingMyPlanet.com. Additionally, Melissa is an MSN contributor, where she shares her knowledge and insight.
