Homesteading in the wide-open country with acres of land can look very different from homesteading in the city. But the beautiful thing about living a simpler life is you can start your journey anywhere. You just have to know how to best utilize the space you have.
And that, our friends, is where some strategic planning is needed.
We rounded up some of our favorite space-saving products, from compact products to tools that serve more than one purpose, so you can maximize the space of your homestead.
1. Vigoroot Balcony Garden
Perhaps you don’t have a large amount of land to grow your harvest. (Or maybe, you’re just trying to use every inch of the space you have.) This vertical garden has shelves of planters, so you use minimal ground space and can grow veggies right on your balcony or patio!
2. Lehman’s Hori Hori Garden Knife
Sometimes saving space means investing in tools that serve more than one purpose. Our garden knife does just that! It’s the hand tool that measures depth for planting, cuts down weeds, digs, even cuts twine. And may we say…it does all of its jobs very well!
3. Lehman’s Breathing Mobile Washer
If you’re living off grid, then you need to be able to wash your clothes without electricity. Our breathing washer is easy to use and store, thanks to its collapsible design. (Psst…this is also a great tool to have on hand in case of a power outage!)
4. Space-Saving Accordion Wall Clothes Dryer
This wall-mounted clothes dryer saves on floor space and also neatly stows away right on your wall. Just extend the dryer out whenever it’s laundry day.
5. Hearthstone Lincoln Truhybrid Wood Heat Stove
This heat stove is simple to use, easy to maintain, and sized just right for small living spaces. Perfect for cabins or smaller rooms in your home, it burns full size cord wood (16″).
6. Concept 2 Mini Air Wood Cookstove
Get the look of a fireplace and the convenience of a cook stove in one compact design! The Concept 2 Mini Air Wood Cookstove is designed for space heating, cooking and baking. It uses solid fuel: dry wood, coal or briquettes.
7. Rayo Lantern Cooker
What we love about this non-electric lantern is that it does the work of two products in one. Enjoy dependable light AND use as a heat source for heating water or small meals. Great for camping and emergencies!

8. Nest Chop – Set of 3 Chopping Boards
This compact set of chopping boards includes three sizes of board each with a curved profile at one end. This allows the three boards to be neatly stored together as a freestanding unit on a kitchen worktop. (Plus, it creates a handy chute down which chopped food or food waste can be easily guided.)
9. Wall-Mounted Can Opener
Limited on cupboard and drawer space? This can opener bolts to the wall so you have easy access and you can never misplace it!
10. Space-Saving Bowl Set
These stainless steel bowls nest inside each other, so they don’t take up much cupboard space but also give you plenty of uses when you need them.
