Path to purposeful homesteading from backyard to backwoods, Erika Nolan.

Erika Nolan is passionate about demystifying homesteading.

Erika Nolan is a Georgia-based homesteader whose journey began 13 years ago on a modest 50-square-foot backyard in New Orleans.

Now living on five acres in the mountains, Erika and her family practice permaculture, raise dairy goats and meat rabbits, and embrace a regenerative approach to farming that values soil health, animal welfare, and seasonal adaptation.

Erika emphasizes adaptability, intentional parenting, and the power of doing fulfilling work on your own terms.

Erika shared about:

• She built a homestead on a small city lot with veggie beds, chickens, composting systems, and more, which sparked local interest and grew her business.
• Erika and her family practice permaculture, raise dairy goats and meat rabbits, and embrace a regenerative approach to farming that values soil health, animal welfare, and seasonal adaptation.
• Homesteading is not easier work, but it’s more fulfilling because it’s done on one’s own terms.
