Wanted to introduce myself to the steemit community with a video and a little bit about HOP farm.
At HOP Farm (Honest Open Permaculture), we are a small local homestead that is continuously working to become as self-sustainable as we can through permaculture practices and principles. What does that mean you ask? Permaculture is a system of agricultural and social design principles centered around simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems. To us that means we intend to produce our own meat, vegetables, fruit, water, energy and income on our almost 11 acres of paradise.
We are excited to share with the steemit community what we have learned, what we are currently learning and very excited about what the steemit community will teach us.
Welcome to steemit.com!
We have great homesteading and permaculture communities here, so you should feel right at home!

@hopfarmnc Welcome to SteemIt and to the #permaculture and #homesteading communities. They are quite vibrant here on this platform and I am always super pumped to see new people joining. We are farming over in Guatemala and our farm is called Atitlan Organics. Check out our Steem Blog to learn more.
I am happy to see this permaculture community growing and I am really ready to help out new folks however I can. That being said, I am still quite new to steem myself, but learning and enjoying it as I go.
Congrats on getting your land and making a go of it. I look forward to seeing more from you. Ill be following for sure!

Yes man, use this page to properly format your text: https://html-online.com/editor/
You work on the left side and once you're happy, copy the code on the right side and put it on your Steem where you'd write your post.
The preview then appears and you can see how it will look.
Add the images in the right places and it's done.
My blog actually specializes in helping newbies as well, so you can check it out if you're so inclined.
Cheers!

By the way, one thing you need to know with more urgence and sometimes people don't tell you, you have roughly 10 votes per day. More than that and your power slowly depletes.
Im still recovering from the time my voting power reached almost zero :)
