Hello Steemit. I'm very new here and thought I would take a moment to say hi,.. "hi".
I homestead. That's what I do. I live on 10 acres in the Sierra Foothills and my goal is to get to a point where I am producing the vast amount of my own food. That is my focus. However, I have a lot to take care of and maintain on the property with many things that pop up and sidetrack me. There is always something to do or fix. If I don't have 10 different things going on at once then I'm not doing anything. I have prior history making videos on youtube. Below is the introduction to my channel. This will give you a taste of where my thoughts are. Thanks for reading, I look forward to being a part of the Steemit community.

Thank You!
Hi @farmer-g, welcome to steem. I hope you have an enjoyable and prosperous time here.
I host a radio show every Friday on MSP Waves called The Alternative Lifestyle Show. The show covers homesteading, prepping, homeschooling, tiny houses, renewable energy etc.
I wondered if you would like to come on the show as a guest sometime? I am keen to help promote new homesteaders on the platform.
If you check my profile you will see links to recordings of previous shows if you would like to listen to one.

@farmer-g would make a great guest! If I can handle being on the show, this guy would ace it!
@pennsif that sounds fun and scary lol. I'm overwhelmed with the outreach here. Thank You. I will listen to some recordings.
Welcome to the community. Don't hesitate to ask if you ever have questions. @nateonsteemit resteemed your post- so i have followed and upvoted.
@brockopolis Thanks for the warm welcome. You guys rock!
Looks like you're making your way with good people. :)
Welcome aboard farmer-g! Looking forward to seeing your ideas and progress. I can always pick up a tip or somethin' new from someone like you! See you around!
See you around. Thank You!
Welcome! There's tons here about homesteading. Most of what I'm doing was learned here. Some folks to follow:
@elfmyselfandi @brockolopolis @goldenoakfarm @canadianrenegade @sagescrub @kafkanarchy84 @bobbleheadstead
Those folks keep it super relevant on gardening, permaculture, and self reliance.
I found your post because it was resteemed by @bobbleheadstead. I follow lots of folks on here that are into that process and am trying to implement as much of it as I can so that I can have my land support my family instead of us supporting our land. Of course it's cyclical, but if we only support a nice green lawn, that doesn't help us.
What are you growing/doing?
And where's the Sierra foothills?
I have like 300 homesteaders either on this account or @synergyu, I got from a post I don't have the link to right now. I'm going to check out these guys you listed though, because keeping it relevant goes a long way!
Sierra foothills where I live is Northern California. Between Sacramento and Tahoe -ish
@davidpantone ... Hey bro, We're both in the same neighborhood. I'm in Placerville.
@nateonsteemit I hear ya! No lawn for me. Thanks for the suggestions above. I'm following Bobbleheadstead. I'll be sure to check out everyone else. I'm in California. Basically right between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe.My garden at the moment is typical things: tomatoes, watermelon, peppers, etc... I'm growing pumpkins, sunflowers and okra for the first time. I'm really getting into aquaponics and I'm sure I'll be posting a lot about that as time goes on. Thanks again!
Ooh, nice! I've been wondering if we should Branch out into aquaponics. It'll be fun reading your future posts on it :) keep up the good work!
I was thinking the same thing about aquaponics and am doing a small test right now after being inspired by @farmer-g! I think it is definitely worth looking into.

Welcome man! The more homesteaders here the better.
@intothewild That's good to hear! Thanks for the welcome!
Many people own less than ten acres of land and I love farms and I eat from my gardens, I'm Joey Oatmeal hehe, and you are great.
@joeyarnoldvn Lol. You are too kind. Thank You! I'm very fortunate to have 10 acres.
Well. it looks like you are getting some traction on your intro post. I'd recommend even editing this post quick to add the tags #food and #introduction if you want.
