Freesteading

Freesteading is an online platform focused on homesteading and farming education. As a member, you have access to a huge community of knowledgeable experts, community leaders, and thousands of other members. Communities & Groups These are what drives our site. Groups are where you will find specific information and meet different groups of people. Communities are groups lead by a community leader and are the cornerstone of Freesteading. Communities are where you will meet new people as well as learn from the community leader and experts within that community. As a member you can join as many communities as you’d like. We encourage you to explore! If you find a community you like, be sure to join! Forums This is where you can have your questions answered. Forums are within each group and are designed to allow members to ask questions. These questions can be answered by members of the community including experts and community leaders. We use forums to ask questions because the feed can move quite fast on busy groups. The forum allows your question to be seen by many people and remain visible in a place meant specifically for questions and discussion. Forums also have a tab in each group called “Discussion”.
