TheUrbanHomesteaders.com is a blog that documents the life of one Rochester, NY couple as they try to change to a more sustainable lifestyle. The site is designed to educate people on cheap and easy ways to adopt ‘green’ choices in their life.

We’re hoping this video series will lead us to new friends and discussions, so that we can learn from those who are much wiser in the ways of sustainability… and share our knowledge with those who aren’t.
