Howdy all!
My name is Brad. Just barely out of high school I got a record deal with three of my buddies in a band called Scarecrow and Tinmen. We had hits on the radio and toured the world while building up a recording studio and video production company but now, I'm a Homesteader. Huh? Homesteader? Yes, a Homesteader. About six years ago my wife and seven kids began a journey in the world of self reliance.
It all started as a random thought... Huh, I wonder what it would be like to keep bees? It was a pesky thought that would not leave me alone. I chatted with my wife about my pondering, and she was less than excited about the idea, much less excited. I could not shake it, and signed up for a beekeeping class at a local beekeepers club and I was hooked. My wife found an interest in gardening and then backyard chickens. We wanted to know more and more about food production, canning, goats, cows, solar power, rain catchment how to weld and even make cheese. The list of things “self reliant” we were learning was growing and made a Youtube channel to share with the community our successes and our mistakes.
Our YT channel quickly grew to over 45k subscribers and has been a foundation for like minded folks to come together to share ideas and methods on all things homesteader. Recently Youtube has been censoring content that they deem inappropriate to a general audience, like why we encourage people to get involved in the production of their own food. Videos have been demonetized, and censored for encouraging people to consider having chickens rather than purchasing the meat from corporate food producers. We have not violated any of the posted rules YT has posted, yet we keep getting punished for following their own rules.
I am super excited having found STEEMIT through a video posted by An American Homestead. I will be moving all of the content I have that is applicable here as I am able, if folks like the content. I look forward to a fruitful time here with the STEEMIT folks and hope that our Big Family Homestead family becomes a beneficial member of the community.
Brad, Christa and crew
