Helpie’s Homesteading Curation Report

Ninth Edition

Welcome to the weekly Helpie Homesteading Curation Report, where we feature some amazing content creators coming out of the Homesteading Community. Our goal is to find those individuals that are producing high quality content and raise them up to help them grow. We do this by featuring them here to introduce them to all of you lovely people. We hope this helps to get them a larger audience, therefore getting them the recognition we think their wonderful content deserves. Then, because we think it is important to give credit where credit is due, we split this reports payout between the featured authors. We believe this is the only fair way to curate these individuals content that they have worked so hard on. We hope that if you choose to use these blogs in a post of your own, that you will join us in paying them for their content as well.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for great content! We want to reward those individuals that are taking their time and energy to add value to the platform through their high quality content. That’s it, think quality over quantity. We will be collecting them through the week and posting our favorites here each Monday. We will also feature a Helpie Homesteader of the month on the first Monday of the month.

First Things First: What is Helpie?

Helpie is a new and unique educational community within Steemit, designed to help users that are creating quality content grow on the platform. We do this through a variety of ways including;

Lessons designed to help users navigate the steemit network and teach them how to get the most out of it. (ex. GINAbot Tutorial, Growing Your Following On Steemit, and Markdown Challenge
Daily Steemit related trivia and contests
Mentorship from established Steemit users in all different categories
A place to discuss ideas, collaborate with other members, and build your personal community
Daily upvote from Helpie for members
Weekly Curation of great quality content. We have a wonderful Fine Arts Curation Report in addition to this Homesteading Curation and hope to add more categories in the future.

Helpie is an invite only community, but anyone can participate in the daily trivia questions. You are not required to upvote Helpie’s posts to participate. This initiative is not meant to be a vote for vote operation; it’s an educational tool only. If you would like to be considered to join @Helpie as a minnow in training, please consider joining PALnet/MSP and participating in the community. We have scouts constantly looking for the right minnows to support, and they will reach out with a private invitation.

This Week's Featured Steemians

This week I have sort of an unintentional theme, it just sort of happened. Have you ever had an individual that you like their blog, follow etc, then you find out their significant other is also on the platform and you are like; “Oh my goodness! Why am I not following them?!?!” This has happened to me more times than I can count. Today I am featuring authors that I discovered through their spouses. I think the fact that there are so many homesteading couples who are sharing their lives with us on Steemit is so great. So, here are some ladies who rock, and if you are not following them…change that right now.

Blackie’s Chicks – Part 1 By @homespun

@Homespun is brand spanking new on the platform, and I am so excited to see what she shares with us in her future posts. I have been following her very talented husband @justinmullet for quite some time due to his amazing photography. When I came across @homespun’s blog, I was so thrilled to see that they were living the homesteading life as well. Justin, you have been holding out on us! While she only has a few posts under her belt, if they are any indication of what is to come, I think we are in for a treat. They are well written, documented with lovely photos and give a look into their homesteading adventures.

Blackie’s Chicks tells us about the exciting discovery of some new chicks on the homestead. She includes adorable photos of those fluffy chicks and a fun, personal story as well.

Her other recent posts include Summer Quinoa Salad, a beautifully done recipe that is healthy as well and Homespun | First Edition a quick introduction of what is to come.

Goat Feeding Tutorial By @thefarmerswife

Next we have someone who I think we all wish was our neighbor, @thefarmerswife. I met @bowentroyer first on the platform, who is just a fun charismatic guy sharing his adventures on the farm. Then his wife, @thefarmerswife, joined the and showed us the other side of their life. That is one thing that is so great about the homestead couples who are blogging, we get to know them as a family through their individual stories. She shares with us their journey in homeschooling their children, delicious recipes and just what is happening on the homestead, in a fun and personal way.
In this post she gives us some tips and tricks to feeding baby goats the right way. It is informative while also being so personal and entertaining.
Her other recent posts include Sighs and Sounds of Spring and Here Comes The Rain.

Homemade Toothpaste The Easy WayBy @Freedomtowrite

Next we have @Freedomtowrite, who I discovered through her very lovable husband, @freedompoint. They are both a great example of a loving couple putting their faith in God and sharing the gifts he has given them with all of us, I find them both quite inspirational. @Freedomtowrite not only blogs about their homesteading journey and adventures along the way but shares with us amazing recipes, diy tricks and her outstanding writing skills. Her ongoing, Lola’s story, is some of the best writing I have read on steemit, hands down.

Her featured post today is a simple and easy to follow recipe that will replace that expensive and unhealthy toothpaste you may be buying from the store. She walks us through each step with photos and includes the benefits of making your own.

Her other recent posts include Author Reading : Lola’s Story, and Guerilla Video

This concludes the ninth edition of Helpie’s Weekly Homesteading Curation Report. We need your help in lifting these wonderful Steemians, so please go and read the featured Steamians blogs and show them the love that their hard work deserves. We believe it is important for us to lift up good content on Steemit to help further grow the platform as a whole.

We are constantly searching for good content that deserves to be in the spotlight. If you come across a Homesteading post that you believe is worthy of promotion in this weekly report, feel free to tag @llfarms in the comments or send a DM message over discord.

Thank you so much for reading and Happy Homesteading,
