Introducing Nate, a Homesteaders Co-op contributor

in homesteading •  6 years ago 

Hey y'all, I'm Nate!

I'm one of the new contributors at Homesteader's Co-op, but if you know me on steem, you know me as @nateonsteemit. I wanted to do a quick intro post to this audience before I started making additions to the content here (trust me, it's coming).

Words will have a hard time expressing how stoked I am to be given the opportunity by @sagescrub to post here, but I'm gonna give em a chance to.

@homesteaderscoop is an awesome thing that he's done, and I've been following since he announced his intent to create the marketplace this past summer. Now that it's finally a reality, it is far better than I had imagined back then. I was the first person to place an order from the site just a few days after it launched because I had started saving up as soon as that intro post dropped.

As he outlined, @sagescrub has made his contributors here beneficiaries on the posts we make. How awesomely generous!

Moving forward, I plan on using that blessing to benefit the steem homesteading community.

Anyone that knows me here knows I love greeting and helping new folks on the platform. From my introduction comments, where I recommend outstanding permaculture steemians to follow, to delegations like in the contest I linked (which is still ongoing wink wink...), I really enjoy helping folks fit in here. That's what I would love to do with this opportunity with @homesteaderscoop. I don't have a specific plan yet, but I have my wheels turning, debating whether that will include continuing or increasing delegations, funding accounts, or straight minnow support with my portion of beneficiary payouts. I'm not sure yet, but I'd sure love some input from the community. That's usually a good metric: to help the community, do what the community thinks is best.

The reason I enjoy helping new folks here so much is that it strengthens our community. The more active members we have on board here, the better. More people means diversity, and in permaculture, nothing beats diversity.

I'm looking forward to seeing what this new opportunity can achieve! Thanks, @sagescrub, and thanks to you, the readers, supporters, and community members here on steem.

Up next, I'll explain why you should actually be using your crypto (preferably at Homesteader's Co-op), even in a bear market!

Be blessed,
Be fruitful,
Stay relevant.

Nate

I can attest, you've been a great ambassador. I'm looking forward to purchasing on the co-op and someday having my own products listed there.

Ahh! Yes! It's working!!!

Steemian are going to take over the world!

Woo hoo! @nateonsteemit. I love your zeal for the homesteading lifestyle and community. You are going to do big things. Be well.

Thanks for the kind words Yeti! :)

If anything big comes from me, it's not just me doing it, it's this community.

Yay @nateonsteemit! Can't wait to see your contributions. Maybe we can do another interview for @homesteaderscoop! 😉😁

Umm, yaspls! Say when! :)

Awesome intro post @nateonsteemit! I just love how you want to use your rewards and influence with @homesteaderscoop to help newbies and other folks on steem :) Bless you huge heart :) Beautiful photo of you and the goat!

btw you didn't set yourself as a beneficiary on this post, please don't forget next time because it can't be edited once the post is live!

Really? I tried to... Weird.

All good, I'll play with it more on my next post. Need to make a plan... 🤔

So wonderful! I'm so excited this is happening and to see you are involved. I'm going to dig deeper into this marketplace!

And your initiative is already introducing me to another homesteader @homesteaderscoop ... maybe she has goats? Hi @harvardhomestead. Looking forward to "meeting" you. I'm not totally goat mad. Only a teeny bit

Hey there @buckaroo I do indeed have goats lol. And sheep. And cattle. And pigs and poultry...and.... lol

We do a bit of everything. I'm looking forward to getting to know you!

We also have everything except pigs. It's a wonderful life @harvardhomestead

Don't let @buckaroo fool you. I'm convinced she likes goats better than people...

But who could blame her?!

Ooh, I can't wait to hear your thoughts! So very excited that the community is embracing @sagescrub's initiative!!!

Yeah! A GOAT!!! Sorry .... ummm ... what was the post about again? Cute goat Nathan! Was it a lonely stray you had to take home and that your wife just fell in love with and named Poppy? ;) Oh and by the way, great initiative @homesteaderscoop (you see I did read - goat - some of it) Wish I could participate

Hahaha I wish. This was at a permaculture farm that we toured and helped at yesterday. I did fall in love though, as you can see. I'm brainstorming how I can get goats. It's going to be a while (perhaps including moving to a different homestead), but Nate wants goats.

Even Melissa will love them, I'm sure. They are naughty but your life isn't the same without them! It's like having kids. You need to prepare. But how will you ever really be prepared?

The whole goat thing was her idea originally. When she came and asked, I shot her down. Now it's opposite. The topic comes up at least weekly though, so maybe we can come to an agreement.
