This social media realization is nothing new; I have felt this way since creating an account with facebook and other platforms. While I think there are still good reasons to utilize it, I cannot keep engaging. Even if I still ran a business, I would work on moving away from using these platforms. It begs the question if we are using the tool or is the tool using us?

I think farmsteading can allow for opportunities to discover, organize, and plan. I’m not hoarding food in hopes of an apocalypse so I can prove to everyone that I’m right and they’re wrong. I’m involved in my community and trying hard to engage and share.
