I was using the search engine last night and found the website homestead.org. Has anyone been to it? Is a legit site like Countryside or one to avoid?

I checked it out. It's okay, but nothing to really write home about. Countryside is still the best homesteading site out there.

I agree, thats why I'm still here. I didn't go that far into it, not knowing if it was "spamsville" or something. I may go back and check it out a little more later. If you find any other good info sites let me know, maybe we can snag some good topics to discuss here.

I like it - it's got some good links. But it's not "alive" and interactive like Countryside.

That one has been around for quite some time. It went quiescent for a long time after the principals had some personal tragedies, but I see it's active again - things happening. Christian site. As said above, good links, good information if you can dig it out. But it takes so L..O..N..G.. - enormous pages, lots of graphics - not more or less straight text like here.

HI, I'VE BEEN ON THE ORIGINAL HOMESTEAD SITE. HOWEVER, I FOUND IT HAD TO MUCH MATERIAL TO HANDLE. I EVEN WENT INTO THE DISCUSSION GROUP BUT MY MAIL WAS RETURNED. SO I USE THE OTHER WEB SITES. I LIKE THE LEHMANS WEB SITE. THEY E-MIL YOU THE ANSWERS TO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS AT LEAST A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK. SINCE WE RAISE POULTRY WERE IN THE HEN HOUSE A LOT. ALSO INTO THE GOAT SITES. WE ARE GETTING OUR FIRST GOAT TOMORROR. WELL GOD BLESS PRISCILLA

Thanks for the input y'all. I may go back to it to "dig" a little, but I like the forum here better.
