The Six Stages to Your Purposeful Growing Journey

You are unique. Your home and family are unique. So the very first step is to define you! Get all of your thoughts, plans, and even concerns out on paper.

You are in the Just Grow stage if:

You are deciding if the growing or purposeful life is for you and your family
You are finding your purpose no matter if you are just starting or have been growing for years
You want to start growing but are not sure where to begin
You have not defined your why
You crave clarity on your path

You will have a unique path to purpose. But let me ask you a question.

Do you even know what your Ideal Homestead or Journey will look like?

How do you and your family see your purposeful life going? What dreams or goals do you have or better yet what your family’s growing vision is?

It is time to get all of your thoughts, plans, and even concerns out on paper.

Step 1: Define you Purposeful Journey by asking yourself a few important questions everyone should ask before they start homesteading.

Step 2: Make your first three goals.

Step 3: Find Your Path to Purpose by going through the below guides.

Growing in this stage simply starts with what you are already doing, eating healthy food, cooking for your family, and purchasing the best food.

You are in the Purposeful Kitchen stage if:

You want to give this growing journey a try and want to start growing now
You don’t eat or shop with the seasons
You want to learn how to create a meal plan for your family
You want to learn how to preserve produce
You want to learn to cook from scratch

The Purposeful Kitchen stage is the next circle out from you and that is the very heart of your home, the Kitchen.

What is so amazing about this stage is that you can start growing any time because you already have a kitchen and the skill you develop here will help you provide your family with the very essentials of life, food. You don’t need a garden or a homestead to start growing here because this stage is all about learning the skills you will need so that when you do have a garden or homestead, you are ready. The skills in our kitchen are the foundation that the whole purposeful life is built on and caring for our family’s needs should always come first.

Step 1: Learn about what a homestead kitchen needs and cooking from scratch.

Step 2: Learn more about homesteading without a homestead and how to purchase and eat with the seasons.

Step 3: Learn to make a Meal Plan for your Family.

Step 4: Start learning your first food preserving method like water bath canning or freezing vegetables.

Step 5: You are starting to create a purposeful pantry in your home.

Stop devaluing your role as homemaker because raising and caring for the next generation is the great gift God has given you.

You know you are in the Purposeful Homemaker stage when:

You want to bring purpose beyond your kitchen and into your everyday life
You are asking how do I get everything done
- Clean my home
- Grow everyday
- Cook from Scratch
- Preserve my own Food

As growers, it is easy to jump over this stage because we just want to start growing our food and get outdoors. But you have to remember the home is where you create an environment of purpose.

A question I get asked a lot, is “How do you get it all done? How do you grow your own food and still have time for worship? Or How do you work all day in the garden and still have joy when you are cooking dinner?

Well, the answer is that I work hard to be a homemaker first. Many times society looks at this role as a waste of time, but caring for our family doesn’t just stop at the dinner table. It continues into the whole home, from making sure everyone has clean clothes to having clean dishes to serve our delicious homegrown food on. Homemaking is where you as a mother and leader in your home create an environment of safety for your family and yourself.

Step 1: Define and shape your homemaker attitude

Step 2: Define your purposeful homemaking habits.

Step 3: Focus on Progress over Perfection.

Step 4: Increase your productivity through organization.

In the Purposeful Garden stage you are going to begin doing just that growing a garden or if you have been growing for years you are going to be developing a system to help you get everything in your garden done not just growing food.

You are in the Purposeful Garden stage when:

You desire to not only eat healthy but to grow your own produce
You want to provide homegrown produce for your family
You are unsure how you are going to add even more to your already full plate

Growing a garden is all about taking care of your soil. Your soil is a living and full of microorganisms that break down nutrients for your plants. You may call yourself a gardener but what you truly are is a steward of the soil.

You also need to develop a garden plan that goes beyond planting the seed to one that includes everything that needs done. A simple drawing is not going to remind you to fertilize, harvest, weed, water, transplant, and so on. You are going to need something more. I personally make a plan modeled after a market gardener.

Step 1: Become the expert of your soil needs. Read Dirt: Finding the Solution to Building Soil Health by Crystal Mediate

Step 2: Create a garden plan that will bring peace of mind and abundance

Step 3: Learn to make a Plan for Beyond the Harvest.

Step 4: Build or rebuild your garden to No-Till Garden for abundance and soil fertility

Time for animals to join the mix or if you already have animals now it is time to develop a homestead of abundance using permaculture.

You are in the Purposeful Homestead stage when:

You want to add animals
You want to develop a homestead built on Permaculture
You are ready to purchase land or develop beyond a garden

Having a homestead is one thing but your true goal should be to create a homestead that is sustainable, full circle, and essentially feeds itself. Permaculture has about 15 principles that help you use God’s connections in nature to create abundance. One example is that when you add animals you will have two unique byproducts, protein or product the animals produce and it poop! You will probably be consuming the product but the poop and litter can be developed into compost to feed your garden.

Step 1: Decide what your first animal is going to be for your homestead. Read Polyface Micro by Joel Salatin

Step 2: Learn more about permaculture. Listen to the What Is Permaculture When It Comes to Designing Your Dream Homestead podcast episode.

Step 3: Start to build and design a homestead based on the 15 permaculture principles. Listen to the How to Use Permaculture Principle 1-4 in Your Homestead Design podcast episode.

This stage is where you are going to expand the skill you learned in the other stage and fill out every part of your life with purpose. And maybe you have asked the question, “Could I make money from my garden or my homestead”. This stage is full of abundance and more!

You are in the Purposeful Life stage when:

You are ready to scale what you are already doing
You want to make purpose your lifestyle
You are ready to learn more skills so that you can create independence

This could be looked at as the final stage but I don’t think it is because it is more of combining all of the other stages and creating more. So like in your garden you will start adding perennials, like strawberries and blueberries or you want to start an orchard. With the homestead instead of just growing purchased animals for meat you decide to grow your own or start a mini dairy.

Step 1: Create a business plan

Step 2: Find a mentor in the industry you would like to explore

Step 3: Just keep growing and fill your everyday with you purposeful growing journey!
