Helpie’s Homesteading Curation Report
Seventh Edition
Welcome to the weekly Helpie Homesteading Curation Report, where we feature some amazing content creators coming out of the Homesteading Community. Our goal is to find those individuals that are producing high quality content and raise them up to help them grow. We do this by featuring them here to introduce them to all of you lovely people. We hope this helps to get them a larger audience, therefore getting them the recognition we think their wonderful content deserves. Then, because we think it is important to give credit where credit is due, we split this reports payout between the featured authors. We believe this is the only fair way to curate these individuals content that they have worked so hard on. We hope that if you choose to use these blogs in a post of your own, that you will join us in paying them for their content as well.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for great content! We want to reward those individuals that are taking their time and energy to add value to the platform through their high quality content. That’s it, think quality over quantity. We will be collecting them through the week and posting our favorites here each Monday. We will also feature a Helpie Homesteader of the month on the first Monday of the month.
First Things First: What is Helpie?
Helpie is a new and unique educational community within Steemit, designed to help users that are creating quality content grow on the platform. We do this through a variety of ways including;
- Lessons designed to help users navigate the steemit network and teach them how to get the most out of it. (ex. GINAbot Tutorial, Growing Your Following On Steemit, and Markdown Challenge
- Daily Steemit related trivia and contests
- Mentorship from established Steemit users in all different categories
- A place to discuss ideas, collaborate with other members, and build your personal community
- Daily upvote from Helpie for members
- Weekly Curation of great quality content. We have a wonderful Fine Arts Curation Report in addition to this Homesteading Curation and hope to add more categories in the future.
Helpie is an invite only community, but anyone can participate in the daily trivia questions. You are not required to upvote Helpie’s posts to participate. This initiative is not meant to be a vote for vote operation; it’s an educational tool only. If you would like to be considered to join @Helpie as a minnow in training, please consider joining PALnet/MSP and participating in the community. We have scouts constantly looking for the right minnows to support, and they will reach out with a private invitation.
This Week's Featured Steemians
A Rainy Autumn Sunday, Woodburners and Moong Dahl By @riverflows
First up this week is @riverflows who joined the platform in March of this year. If you have not been over to her blog, you need to do so right now. She writes about a number of things and does so in a way that really keeps you hooked. You will find everything from recipes with gorgeous food photography, yoga, gardening, art, and their amazing adventure of van life. Her posts are very well written and so fun to read, while covering such a wide range of topics. Go check out her blog and you will see what I mean.
Her featured post today is not only a recipe for a healthy Moong Dahl Soup, but also a hilarious tale that any married couple can appreciate. She takes us through her story with beautiful photos, detailed steps, health benefits and some great laughs scattered in between. It is just a delightful read.
Her other recent posts include : ''Read only if its Autumn …or if you love Turmeric Lattes'' another healthy and beautifully done recipe with her signature humor thrown in and, ''It’s a Man’s (surfing) World'', a personal look into her experience as a woman in the sport of surfing.
Slow Down And Really See Your Land By @ELFmyselfAndI
Next up we have @ELFmyselfAndI who joined Steemit in February of this year. She is one of those people who sucked me in immediately. She writes about a variety of topics including gardening, recipes, permaculture, art, their livestock and so much more. Oh my goodness, she is just a plethora of knowledge and I am so glad she is sharing it all with us through beautiful photos and such an enchanting way of writing. Did I mention she makes fabulous shoes too? Yeah, seriously…why are you still here? Go follow her right now!
Her featured post is a inspirational and informative look into what she learned her first year on their land and how to take our time to plan for the future of the homestead. She tells us how she did just that and the challenges she faced as well.
Her other recent posts include: ''Homemade Puff Pastry Pie – Like a Warm Hug For Your Tastebuds'' , a fun recipe that truly fits the title and ''No Dig Garden And Food Forest Start Up Part 3'' , a walk through the progression of their food forest.
Easy Fermented CarrotsBy @Crowbarmama
Now I would like to introduce you to @Crowbarmama who joined the platform in January of this year. She is a “Homeschooling Homesteading Mama” who specializes in gluten and allergy free recipes that have earned her the title of “Mad Scientist in the kitchen.” She has also recently started to share her music with us as well, all while running the homestead…talk about a multi-tasker! Her blog is honest and down to earth while sharing beneficial tips and tricks in a fun and creative way. Go check her out and be sure to stop by the @crowbarkids as well to see what the kiddos are up to!
Her featured post today is a creative look into how she takes a simple snack and elevates it to Super Hero Status through fermentation. It is well written and easy to follow and will help yo mix up your healthy snack routine.
Her other recent posts include Gluten Free Sourdough Shenanigans, Her creative way of bread making that even those with allergies can enjoy and Spinning Plates, Baking Cookies and a New Toy!, a fun look into what she has on her plate and how she keeps it all together.
This concludes the seventh edition of Helpie’s Weekly Homesteading Curation Report. We need your help in lifting these wonderful Steemians, so please go and read the featured Steamians blogs and show them the love that their hard work deserves. We believe it is important for us to lift up good content on Steemit to help further grow the platform as a whole.
We are constantly searching for good content that deserves to be in the spotlight. If you come across a Homesteading post that you believe is worthy of promotion in this weekly report, feel free to tag @llfarms in the comments or send a DM message over discord.
Thank you so much for reading and Happy Homesteading,
