Questions
Before you start
Not sure which course comes first? Start with what your land needs next.
Do I need land before I start?
No. Many students learn the systems first, so they buy the right land and get it working faster once they do.
Is this too advanced if I’m just starting out?
No. The courses start from the basics and follow the order a real homestead gets built, from water and power to food and firewood.
Which course should I take first?
Start with whatever your land needs next. For most people that’s water and power, then food, then firewood.
Are these courses included in Freedom Farmers Pro?
Yes. Pro includes the whole course library, so if you want more than one course, it usually costs less. You can also buy a single course.
