Unfortunately there is an ongoing legal action caused by this family. I've followed since February. Basically, they somehow convinced the copyright office they had exclusive (meaning they invented) rights to the terms "urban homestead" and "urban homesteading." This caused a farmer's market in Denver to have their facebook page shut down and the authors of a book 2 years prior to receive a cease and desist letter for selling their book. It's left a very bad taste in a lot of homesteaders opinion. My reaction? I bought the Urban Homestead book to support Kelly and Erik in their fight against this trademark.
