Introducing @minismallholding and the Return of the Homesteading Newsletter.
Hi all, @minismallholding here. I live in suburban Adelaide, South Australia and like to homestead in miniature on our little plot. I’m learning as I go and trying to get used to a completely different climate as I spent the first 32 years of my life in England. I came to Steemit to share my learning experiences, but it has become so much more of a community in so many more ways than I would have ever imagined.
When I landed on Steemit, in July 2017, I was lucky to get spotted and welcomed onboard with a newly gathering homesteading and prepping community. @pennsif was putting together a list of like-minded people so we could connect with one another, @greenacrehome formed Homesteaders Online and @kiaraantonoviche put out a weekly homesteading newsletter. Sadly, not everyone could keep up with commitments and the banner was passed on with the formation of the Global Homestead Collective, @ghscollective #ghsc, and later projects like @homesteaderscoop and @naturalmedicine.
Recently @pennsif pulled out the old homesteaders and preppers list and it was sad to see so many familiar names which have gone inactive. Kiara was one who moved on to other things in life and it seems that I wasn’t the only one to have missed her newsletters. So @sagescrub has invited me to resurrect the newsletter in a new home at the Homesteaders Co-op. I'm both nervous and excited to be coming on board with some amazing contributors and hope I can do it justice.

Once again welcome aboard! I myself really enjoyed those newsletter that Kiara was doing. I learned quite a bit about homesteading and met some pretty awesome people through it. I am really looking forward to seeing one again! Thank you! 😊
Thank you.
I hope I can do as well as Kiara did. She often picked up great posts I'd missed.
I look forward to any feedback on it and suggestions of what people would like to see included.

Looking forward to seeing the newsletter again.
When do you think you will have the first edition out?
I am currently working on a new version of the Homesteaders and Preppers List.
I'm going to go for Wednesdays (Aussie time). It should be a day I can put some time aside regularly. I was going to mention your last post about the list, but let me know if you post the new one up sooner and I'll link that instead. I'm looking forward to seeing the update and hoping it will be a bit fuller with actives, particularly in Oz. ;)

I am just working on the new version of the Homesteaders list at the moment. Hoping it will be out tomorrow.
I am also relaunching the Alternative Lifestyle Show on Thursday - renamed now as ALT.Life.
Oh yes, I did see any announcement from sagescrub about the show, thanks for prompt as that's great news!
