Hey @flusterfarm! I want to invite you to the SteemitHomesteaders slack community. We're new, with about 50 members, but are growing every day. A good bit of your commentators are already there. We aim to be a community of homesteaders, gardeners, preppers, farmers, DIYers, and other like-minded Steemit users that help each other learn and grow on Steemit. If you're interested, you can read more about it and join from the link below.
