Welcome back for the second newsletter! The first one was well received and supported. I'd like to extend my thanks to my daughter, @svitlaangel, and to @riverflows for their ideas and designs to come up with a name and logo for the newsletter.
Things happening in the community.
Homesteaders and Preppers list@pennsif's is filling out nicely again. Some countries and continents are yet to be represented and some are only sparsely represented, but I hope to see more coming in. The list has relocated to the @altlife account, where you can also find information on the radio show and other alternative lifestyle communities on Steem.
whether we make assumptions upon what makes a homesteader. I feel that if the interest is there, then connecting with other like-minded people shouldn't require criteria. What are your thoughts on this, dear reader?A comment was made on one of the Homesteaders and Preppers list posts, indicating that they weren't sure if they quite reached the criteria for being added to the list. This once again raised the question, for me, if there is such a thing as a criterion. @riverflows has posted a couple of times about
highlights up from the week. The challenge which sparked some of these posts has been extended for the last entries to be in today. So if you're really quick and inspired, you could sneak one in. Otherwise, keep an eye on their page for future challenges.
Welcoming Newcomers
New to Steem is @herbncrypto who likes to grow and create. I hope we can make him feel welcome.

Awesome stuff! I learned a lot from the perennial root vegetable post by @wildhomesteading

This post has been included in the latest edition of SoS Daily News - a digest of all the latest news on the Steem blockchain.
I often enjoy homesteaders post without being a member. My husband has so many interests in the homesteading and natural medicine I believe he is coming back to steemit to hook up with you or people that post this type of information. As for your question
I agree with you. We are all one.
That would be wonderful if we could entice your husband back. The community has taken leaps and bounds since it first started and there is so much going on. It's good to hear you enjoy the homesteading posts too. We're all about sharing after all! :D

thanks, for replying to my comment. He does a lot of things and he could share them. Also when I tell him some of the posts I see he is totally interested. :)
Who is your husband? 👀
Posted using Partiko Android
@nowian.man He never really got going. I was trying to figure it out. However, you guys are his niche even though he is also an artist among other things. He initially joined 2 years ago. His last post was 10 months ago he only did a few posts. Hey thanks for asking @riverflows.. ;)
Totally awesome! I love when you add links to homesteaders I haven't met yet.... thank you for a great job 💖
I love when I find homesteaders I have met yet! 😁 Writing this newsletter has got me realising how much I miss on here.

A wonderful 2nd edition @minismallholding!! You are doing such great work honoring these individuals :) I love that you are open to sharing the space with other communities, such as @naturalmedicine in this edition.
I think I mentioned this before, but I really like the simplicity of the format of the newsletter.. it is really easy to digest! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you. I'm glad you're down with the simplicity. I prefer simplistic myself when reading. Too much going on gets confusing for me!
I feel like these communities interlink and cross paths in so many ways that highlighting them seems the right thing. Each of them has their own curation and news specific to their area, but HSCO seems to be a great platform for highlighting all areas.

Ooohh... some really nice reading here. Love the way your community is expanding & especially the "no need for criteria". I'm a quasi-wanna-be homesteader, sort of, and my work with herbs & indigenous people has a lot of overlap with real-deal living-it-now hoemesteaders. Love that it doesn't matter. Nice job @minismallholding 🌿💚

I think everyone has so much to add to this lifestyle. The reason we added natural Living into the title was to try and move away from the assumptions of homesteading being just acreage. The indigenous who have never stopped living in harmony with the land can help us learn so much.

Thanks for keeping us up with the news around homesteading and natural living and of course the Homesteaders Coop! Wonderful to be introduced to some new members!
You're welcome. I was really pleased to come across some newcomers, because I don't always catch them. I realise it helps to keep your fingers in different pies! 😁

A FABULOUS newsletter @minismallholding.. this is fast becoming my favourite publication of the week!!! I love what you say... you are dead right, if we are connecting with like minded people, who needs criteria? Touche!
Posted using Partiko Android
Thank you. I've really started enjoying putting it together and keeping up things better myself. It's been a good excuse to keep up with the natural community better than I have been.

Wow thank you so much for the mention - I'm honored!
'Tis a great honour indeed. ;D Lol!
I've loved reading your posts and admire your work, so it was a pleasure to feature you. :)

Thanks so much for doing this @minismallholding, I missed the homesteader newsletter! I enjoyed reading it and will make sure to visit all the posts that I missed. Awesome stuff! :)
You're welcome. It's been enjoyable to gather all the work together for it.

It's great to see the Homesteaders Newsletter back.
And thank you for the mention of the list.
And thank you for all the work you put in. I feel like I'm just collecting all everyone else's work up each week for recording. :D

Great news letter! Internet is a bit too slow where I am to play @ligayagardener's video but otherwise looks like it was a good week.
I'll be up and running properly with you all soon again 😁.
Thanks for this post
Thank you.
Playing videos is hit or miss for me most days here and I'm in suburbia!

We never have problems with video here with our blisteringly fast rural nbn speeds...

I've had more internet issues since we changed to nbn! It's slower and liable to cut out.

Cool group of posts!! Thank so much for including mine. ♥
Thank you and you're most welcome.

Great to see thing building I am hopping to join the list (UK). I just need to find some growing vessels as I want to do it as recycled as I can. Then I need to buy my new house as I am reluctant to grow too much as I plan on move dreckly 💯🐒
You'll have to document how you go with the recycled growing. :)
Posted using Partiko Android
I will for sure! I'm still attempting to find ideas currently. But as I am moving dreckly I am reluctant to get to in to it right now 💯🐒
