Thanks for joining me! On reddit, I was 99% a lurker, so this is a good opportunity for me to be more actively engaged and actually contribute.

Thanks for starting things up, homie!
Great community. Looking forward to seeing submissions!
Looking forward to this growing aswell. I need my fix of vicariously living through internet homesteaders while I'm living in the middle of the city lol
I'm with you there - need to get out. Working on a degree in forestry so I can (hopefully) get a job in a rural area that pays enough to buy some land with arable soil and water. Have you begun any kind of planning process? My spouse and I have a lot of planning already in place. We've even begun a business plan to help secure a loan for a market garden / homestead. Are you doing any urban gardening?
That sounds really cool. Unfortunately I have no plans other than long term ideas right now. I do quite a bit of urban gardening in my little plot, I'm lucky enough to have a nice south-facing garden and terrace. I love what I have but it makes me wish I had a yard!
Former reddit lurker here too. Looking forward to participating more in the fediverse
I'm here too. Homesteading is all about self reliance. And I think lemmy aligns with that value.
Thanks for making the community. I don't have any land myself, but in a few short years I plan on having my own operation up and running!
