Summary

Homesteaders of America surveyed over 4,000 homesteaders and compared the results to their 2022 survey — and the picture that came back is not the one Instagram sells you. Wendi walks through who American homesteaders actually are in 2026: their age, their land, their money, why they started, and why they stayed. Along the way she's honest about what the numbers can't tell you, and lands on the one reframe that changes everything for people stuck in the "someday" phase.
