HOMESTEADERS on steemit!
Today is the day of the week that I do my weekly HOLLER OUT to other homesteading steemians who have influenced me, offered support or made a post that really spoke to me.
The FEATURED HOMESTEADER is just a favorite that I have found this past week. And to add a little twist to it all... Every week the featured homesteader will receive THREE-100% UPvote from me (they get to pick which posts I will Upvote in the next day or two of this posting as long as I haven't already UPvoted it) AND when this post pays out next week after the seven days, he or she will receive 5sbd in their wallet.
The remaining two honorable mentions of this HOLLER OUT Tuesday will each receive one steem from me. Again, when this post has been live for seven days and pays out next Tuesday.
NEW TWIST
Honorable Mentioned Homesteaders WILL ALSO receive THREE-100% UPvote from me. His or her choice of posts made within the last three days or in the next few days; as long as I haven't already UPvoted the post!

Check out her most recent post Easy Slow Cooker French Onion Soup and it has canning directions also.
Part of my mission in life is to help people take back control of their lives. Without going into detail, at one point I found myself bankrupt, with severe health issues, working a soul-crushing job I hated for next to no pay. The medical institutions had failed me, my food was covered in pesticides and could barely even be called "food", and the American dream was just out of reach.
So I began a new journey - one of self-sufficiency, learning natural remedies to take back control from big pharma, growing my own organic food to take control back from big agro-, and (with Steem) making my own money outside of the big banking systems
Does that kind of sound like some of us? I know it does me at certain levels.
If you were to scroll through her page, back five months ago she has been sharing SOME AWESOME posts! Bread making, homemade diaper rash ointments, money saving tips and so many more that I would need five posts alone to mention them all.
Honorable Mentioned Homesteaders
This is her gardening helper- Sir Robin, Arlo Mellon Collie
Just the other day, she wrote about those Tempting Horrible Seed Catalogs.
Just before the holidays my first holiday gifts start arriving in the post - seed catalogs. Oh how they tempt me with their colorful photos and happy descriptions... I am excited yet fearful:
Will I buy more seeds and plants than I have room for in a season?
Will I have too much to harvest and not enough time?
Will the weather hold?
So I stash the catalogs for when I am ready. When it is TIME
And in this post she offers up a garden planning spreadsheet.

But since then, he has been making me stand up and take notice of some great posts!
As I have been scrolling through his older posts, I am amazed at how many I missed! While they are past their seven day steemit date, you can still learn a wealth of information from them.
Make sure to check out their profiles and pages as well as their posts!
If you too are a homesteader, gardener, off-grid lifestyle person or have other self-sufficient and self-reliant interests, consider joining our steemit homesteaders community.
