@wholesomeroots also has a facebook group running called Homesteaders on Steemit which I've found helpful. It's been a bit quiet of late like much of the homesteading community, but can be quite active at times. Being in a different time zone to most I find I don't miss as much on there and can catch up on conversations easier than the chat groups.
All the ideas sound good. Like the idea of the interviews too.
I haven't used Facebook for a while, but the more the merrier.
Would you be interested in being interviewed ?
Yes, if I can find a time that works. Or maybe an email interview would be good.
