Welcome to The Handy-Capable Homesteaders

Our website / blog is dedicated to providing valuable resources and ideas for handicapped individuals who are interested in outdoor living and homesteading. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of living off the land (to some degree), and we strive to make that a reality for all.

About us

We are the Handy-Capable Homesteaders: My name is Philip and my wife's name is Rebecca.  We live in southern Maryland and enjoy what I would call "Enjoyable Homesteading"!  We would define this as enjoying growing herbs & vegetables, raising chickens & pigs, woodworking, culinary arts, and many more projects...but all with a twist!  Rebecca has Multiple Sclerosis and her body has stopped cooperating, leading us to learn new ways to do things and enjoy life!  She has great ideas...and I implement them!  We made this post to share ideas we have come up with to help her enjoy more...and in turn, I enjoy more!  How does the saying go "Happy Wife, Happy Life!", well it's true!  The plan is to share lots of ideas on different subjects and show some handicapped resources and ideas along the way!  We want to help you with ideas if you are handicapped, or a care giver, or just looking for creative ideas, to enjoy life a bit more!  We have a passion to help others and so here we go!

As for our family, we have two grown children (Philip & Elodie), a cat (Oliver), a dog (Georgie), many fish, many chickens, etc...

For transparency, I have math problems: Chicken math, plant math, animal math, fish math, bicycle math...you will see!
