I'm a little late to this party, but we're working on homesteading / regenerating / solarpunking ~50 acres of central NY. Lots of foraging, gardening, a few sheep / goats / horses. Currently experimenting with letting volunteer trees grow sparsely in some of the large fields to see how things around them fare in comparison to full sun.

We generate more power off of solar than we consume, and have enough storage to last indefinitely (if uncomfortably in the winter) off grid.

We're slowly learning to make clothes from raw wool to woven cloth, and have a 200yo barn frame loom just waiting for enough spun wool to set it up.

We teach like to teach and learn, so host folks who want to get their hands dirty. Renovating rooms in the house so we can host more folks!
