There are a lot of homesteaders and gardeners on steemit. There's a person on steemit who has compiled a list of homesteaders on steemit, and there's more than 200 of us on here, from all over the U.S., Canada, and the rest of the world. If you look at the tags on the side bar, click on "homesteading" and it will show you all the posts using that tag.
Welcome to steemit!
