Unlock the Power of Urban Self-Sufficiency—In Just Four Hours a Week

In a world of rising costs, fragile supply chains, and overwhelming busyness, millions of people are discovering a simple truth: you don’t need acres of land to live a resilient, abundant, self-sufficient life.
You can build it right where you are—on a balcony, a rooftop, a windowsill, or a tiny backyard.

The 4-Hour Homestead is the ultimate guide for busy city-dwellers who want to reclaim control, reduce dependence, and build a life of sustainability and abundance without sacrificing time, career, or lifestyle.

Drawing from decades of urban homesteading experience, Riley Carter breaks down the entire process into achievable weekly micro-tasks that create massive results over time.

Why This Book Matters Now

The last few years have revealed the fragility of modern living. Grocery shortages. Supply disruptions. Skyrocketing prices. Urban stress.
But they’ve also revealed something else:

People who know how to grow, preserve, build, mend, and create—even a little—are stronger, calmer, and more secure.

Urban homesteading isn’t about escaping the city. It’s about transforming it.
It’s about turning forgotten corners into mini-gardens, balconies into food forests, rooftops into solar havens, and kitchens into places where nourishment is created—not just consumed.

This book shows you how to start small, build steadily, and create a life that feeds you—physically, emotionally, and financially.

Who This Book Is For

• Busy professionals
• Apartment and condo dwellers
• Families working toward sustainability
• New gardeners with zero experience
• Preppers who want low-stress systems
• Anyone seeking resilience, health, and control

If you’ve ever wished for more freedom, more peace of mind, or a deeper connection to the natural world—this book is your roadmap.
