Homesteading

What would you do if you won the lottery?

I have never thought about this because I have never won any gift in any of the lucky draws. So this is hypothetical question for me. I was not prepared for the answer.

But yes if I win the big jackpot lottery, then I would plan & execute my homesteading dream. Remaining amount will be spent for charity.

Let me explain the concept of homesteading.

A homestead is a house and surrounding land owned by a family. Often it includes a farmhouse. Homesteading is a lifestyle of self sufficiency. It is characterised by subsistence agriculture, home preservation of food and May also involve the small scale production of textiles, clothing and craft work for household use.

My farmhouse will be away from city hustle bustle, on the banks of a river and surrounded by mountains. The farm will grow vegetables, spices and grains. There will be animals like Cow and goats to provide dairy products. The farm will also include butterfly garden and honey bee park. The house will use green energy and waste will be composted as fertiliser. Complete ecosystem would be self sustainable.

For the charity, the money will be donated to the NGO working for women empowerment.
