Hey y'all, Nate here with a new project we're developing. Lots of stuff going on at the Co-op here lately as you've likely noticed! Let's get to it!

This is an update to our fundition project.

Part of what we're doing here at Homesteaders Co-op (besides trying to rethink the internet retail economic model) is focusing on new steemians and helping them get established. We put a lot of stock in supporting people in our community because we understand that more active people on the chain makes it stronger, more valuable, more sustainable, and more appealing to other potential users. While we're particularly supporting people in the #homesteading, #permaculture, #sustainability, and related communities, these actions will benefit the entirety of Steem.

Our grassroots efforts here started organically and early in the Co-op's story. At first it was just a simple "hey, how are ya, check out what we're doing" campaign, and has morphed into a more organized community project with more formal welcome comments from our contributors, dedicated discord channels, and movements that are nothing short of community rally cries where we all swarm lovingly to support new folks. It has also meshed into our efforts to make delegations to new folks and to offer access to free and instant steem accounts that we can provide to folks.

This newsletter is an update and explanation of our mission and progress on that front, as well as a curation of the accounts we're supporting.

At the time of this writing, the newbies we delegate to are Hive account@nancymoral, Hive account@rainbow.snake, Hive account@thunderox, Hive account@homegrownstables, Hive account@ekawaediw, Hive account@stanmr, Hive account@warfsterveld, Hive account@tarahgreen, Hive account@sinikka, Hive account@circulartimes, Hive account@hippygirlco, Hive account@lizablove, Hive account@bluntcrypto, Hive account@winslow-home, Hive account@dansgardening, and Hive account@celestethebest.

Our standard delegation is 30 SP, so there's a total of 480 SP currently delegated from Hive account@homesteaderscoop to help new eco-conscious people on steem because our mission focuses on community, not money. We at the Co-op understand that without people, economics doesn't work.

That said, here's some posts by people to support. We hope you see value in these new steemians like we do!

Hive account@nancymoral has a new son-in-law! In her post, is the short and sweet farm wedding ceremony and a montage of photos of the happy couple! Congrats from the Co-op!

Hive account@hippygirlco seems to have dug herself in on steem, and is embracing actifit! Check out the cute baby goat from a recent farmers market trip!

Hive account@lizablove is finding her niche integrating with Hive account@share2steem talking about the nine things that help her through challenging experiences! What a meaningful topic, y'all check it out here!

Hive account@dansgardening uploaded a video of Dan gardening! Today he's growing peppers! He also talks about some of the other things he's growing this year. Good to see new folks embracing the video aspect of steem, keep it up Dan!

Also noteworthy is Hive account@celestethebest's post on her rare butterfly sighting. We've just missed the opportunity to support it as the post has just paid out! Bummer! But she has been posting some more cool stuff, so we'll likely get another chance to support her. :)

The rest of our minnows haven't had any posts recently, so we'll be reaching out to them to see if they're doing okay here, and it looks like we may need to make a Co-op policy for the event that a newbie goes inactive.

So that's what's going on here on this end. We're always brainstorming and developing this idea and seeing how it grows. Thanks for reading our first newbie curation and for helping us in supporting these young steemians!

Be blessed.
Be fruitful.
Stay relevant.
