Great to connect, @antje! That's amazing you had a homestead for 14 years. I bet it was an amazing experience. I'm just now starting out on our land with my fiance after being a renter jumping around from one property to the next. Excited to finally put in the time and work and enjoy the fruits of our harvest. Great to be connected! I'm excited to get more of the Food is Free Project from around the world to share their journey on Steemit so we can all learn from each other. Stay in touch!

Yes, it was an amazing experience and when one is younger, hard work is ok. But now we are older and had to downsize as we are thinking of looking after ourselves for the rest of our lives! That is very important to us! Will stay in touch! Love to all!
I totally understand that. With the power of community, we can line our neighborhoods with fruit trees, perennial food and share the harvest. Not everyone has to do physical labor. People can contribute time and energy sorting seeds, starting seedlings, or even cooking for potlucks or gatherings. We all have something contribute to the world! :)
Indeed, so it is! And although we still feel young and can do most of the things we want to do now, maybe in years to come we can participate in the different ways you outlined and like that everybody in the street is integrated! Such a great concept!
