I took what I was dong for my homestead and started to run it as a small business and then grew it a little more and little more as I went. Now it produces well for my homestead and also helps bring in a small income. I have plenty of other projects though on the homestead that are good ideas I just did not have time for and did not find functional for my homestead similar to how composting was not practical for your homestead. That is what I love about homesteading because everyones homestead is different based on location and the person managing it's needs.
