I don't really buy into the idea that if you make any money at all, you are a farm, and you can't call yourself a homesteader if you are making money.
I hope that you didn't think that this was my point. I totally agree with you. I just would prefer not to have manure lagoons or acres and acres of corn associated with what I'm up to. It paints a very different picture in my mind.
No, I didn't think that was what you were saying at all. I've heard that elsewhere quite a few times, and I think it is an over-simplification. I thought the boundaries you suggested between the terms was very accurate. It's kind of a "I'll know it when I see it" thing for me, and I agree with the contrasts you pointed out.
I thought so, I just wanted to double-check. Thanks!
