Homesteading Bloggers: 30 That Are Still Posting, and Which Ones Work With Brands

Homesteading blog lists age badly: one well-known homestead blog on current lists now redirects to a gambling site. We checked about 80 homesteading blogs on 24 September 2026 and kept the 30 that are live and posting. Below: each with its domain rating, last post date and what it says about working with brands, then the ones to take off your list.

All 30 homesteading bloggers, by domain rating

"Disclosure only" means the blog carries a standard statement that it accepts advertising, sponsorship or paid insertions, but has no page inviting brands. "Not stated" means we found nothing either way.

How we checked

We started from the blogs that rank on Google for homesteading bloggers and homesteading blogs, ten published lists and the blogrolls on the blogs themselves: about 80 candidates. On 24 September 2026 we loaded each one and read the date of its newest post from its RSS feed or blog page. Whether a blog works with brands comes from its own work-with-me, advertising, media kit or disclosure page, quoted as written. Domain rating comes from the Ahrefs API.

Six popular blogs, including Homestead Honey, Timber Creek Farm, Tilly's Nest, Texas Homesteader and Our Simple Homestead, answered with a bot check or did not respond, so we could not read a date. They are left out of the table, which is not the same as saying they have stopped.

Who says they work with brands

Eighteen of the 30 say so on their own site, which is far more than in most hobby niches. The clearest invitations, in their words:

• The Prairie Homestead: "We are interested in partnering with companies, individuals, and services."
• Fresh Eggs Daily: what it "really prefer[s] is long-term partnerships with brands".
• Homestead and Chill: "We enjoy supporting brands and high-quality products."
• Rooted Revival (England): "actively taking on sponsorships and partnership opportunities".
• Homestead How-To: invites brands to "sponsor a project or partner on a marketing campaign".
• An Off Grid Life sells newsletter sponsorships to "brands offering practical products".
• Tenth Acre Farm points advertisers to its media kit, and The 104 Homestead calls itself PR-friendly.

Several others, including A Modern Homestead, Simple Living Country Gal, Boots & Hooves, Healing Harvest, The Off Grid Barefoot Girl and Souly Rested, invite product reviews or sponsorships. Homesteading Family has no brand page but names its podcast sponsors on the site.

Guest posts: the short answer is no

If you came here looking for homesteading blogs that accept guest posts, the honest finding is that none of these 30 says it does. Common Sense Home states "We do not accept unsolicited guest posts", and New Life On A Homestead says guest post and paid link requests will be ignored. A Modern Homestead and Simple Living Country Gal say their guest posts are closed while still taking brand work.

So the route into this niche is a product, a sponsorship or a genuinely useful resource the blogger wants to mention, not an article you write for them. That matches what the blogs publish about themselves: most are run by an individual or a family, and the ones that say how they earn name advertising, affiliate links and sponsors.

Homesteading blogs to take off your list

These all still appear on lists or blogrolls we started from. As of 24 September 2026:

• Wandering Hoof Ranch: the domain now redirects to a slot-gambling site. Do not link to it.
• The Elliott Homestead: the homepage now redirects to a cooking site under a new name; the blog feed's last item is from December 2025.
• The Frugal Chicken: renamed Pampered Chicken Mama; last post October 2023.
• Nourishing Days: last post October 2023.
• Weed 'Em and Reap: last post January 2025.
• The Off Grid Homesteader: live, last post November 2025.
• My Urban Homestead (April 2022), Little City Farm (December 2020) and Tiny House Homestead (April 2018): dormant.

Two blogs that Google ranks for this search, My Casual Homestead and Hip Chick Digs, did not give us a readable feed, so they are not dated here.

The other homesteading blog lists, dated

Several of these lists are written by homesteading bloggers about their peers, which is useful for finding blogs and worth knowing when you read the rankings.

How to pitch a homesteading blogger

Send something they would use on the homestead. These blogs review canners, incubators, fencing, seed and tools because they use them. A product they can test through a season gets a real post; a press release does not.

Use the page they tell you to use. Most of the 18 brand-friendly blogs have a work-with-me page or media kit with their formats. Pitching through that page, not the general contact form, tells them you read it.

Respect the no. Two blogs say plainly that guest posts and paid link requests are ignored. Pitching them anyway costs you the chance of a sponsorship later.

For the pitch itself, how to collaborate with bloggers and influencer outreach templates cover wording and follow-ups. Finding and pitching blogs like these, then handling the replies, is what MentionAgent automates.
