Hi, I'm Emily!
I'm the one with the buzz cut. This handsome fella I'm standing with is my husband, Jon.
I have recently been introduced to the world of blockchain, and cryptocurrency (thanks to @canadianrenegade). It feels like I'm learning a new language, but I love it! With the state of the world right now, I wanted get connected with like minded people. So here I am! Can you teach me?
I already have a YouTube channel, but I'm excited to create content for Hive as well.
(Here's a recent video of our experience hatching chicks with a broody hen...)
I'm the proud wife of Jonathan, and mother to Wren and Beauregard. We are on a homesteading journey.
(You can meet my boys here...)
At the Alexander Farm we aim to keep it simple and fun. Our goal is to become self sufficient by applying permaculture principles and local wisdom. We invite you to follow along to learn and grow with us.
(Here's a little project we checked off the list lately...)
We currently have chickens, ducks, and very soon we will have pigs too!
I enjoy keeping a minimal tidy home, and all things homemade/homegrown/handmade.
I'm scared of spiders and power tools (thank God for handy husbands). But I'm creative and know how to drive a tractor so I guess that's cool.
Where did I get my tractor driving skills? I was raised on a large cattle feedlot. I never dreamt of being a farmer when I grew up. I actually left the country and became a successful hairstylist for many years. That's where I met Jon. He was serving in the army. I thought he was a glorious. And I assume he thought I was pretty good quality too.
We lived together in the city but visited my family's farm often. Jon got out of the army but became very interested in farming. I was surprised by the great relief that gave me. We immediately put our house up for sale, bought a farm, and moved west in November 2015. We got married that summer, and started our family. Our sons are 3.5 years, and 6 months old now, and we are living the simple farm life.
Thank you for reading. It's so good to meet you!
Awesome post and really nice to meet you all! Can't wait to read more of your farm adventures!
Thank you! It’s so good to meet you too!
Welcome @alexanderfarm! I'm also going to do my introductory post. I'm going to help my mama @buckaroo with her homesteading posts. It is wonderful that your little boys are growing up in the country and with all the animals like us kids
Hi! Yep I agree! Country kids are the best. 😋 Welcome to the hive too! Good to meet you!

Yes! My mama @buckaroo agrees with all your homesteading recommendations @riverflows. When she was still writing she enjoyed reading all their posts. Now I have to help her because Daddy accidently wrote over her key

Welcome, welcome. Always exiting to see another homesteader here. Not only did CanadianRenegade come back to us, they brought some friends. 😁
Thank you so much! I’m happy to be here. @canadianrenegade has been a huge help to me!
Welcome to hive! Looking forward to your posts.
Thank you!
You guys are too picture-perfect :) Warm welcome from far eastern Europe :)
Aww, thank you! I’m blown away at how welcoming this platform is!
Welcome! I’m already looking forward to your future content and man those little piggies look cute!
Thank you! We are currently driving home with our little piggies! We’re officially pig farmers now!
Wiehoe! Congratz. Just be aware of the Big Bad wolf and make their house(s) wolf breath proof ;<)
I wasn't gonna say anything cuz you're probably overwhelmed as it is but you said Beauregard and that was my mother's little Maltese's name, even spelled it the same way.
Welcome to Hive! I haven't scrolled through your messages but in case it hasn't been mentioned, this blockchain has a video platform called 3speak for your chick flicks.
Hey! I’m glad you commented! That so funny. My Aunt also has a horse named Beauregard. We usually just call our little man Beau for short.
And thanks for the tip about 3speak! I’m definitely going to check it out. I’m very new to all of this. My husband was just researching how the Hive platform works and told me about 3speak as well. Hopefully I can post some videos there soon too!
Enjoy yourself. This nice reaction is probably pretty overwhelming for someone on their third day. Take it in.. You're doing great.. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't cool.
Haha love it!
Wow, what an awesome intro post, welcome to Hive @alexanderfarm, sure you're going to enjoy interaction with people from diverse backgrounds and diverse worlds but will soon find your own niche! Enjoy the journey and look forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Thank you so much!
Hey! Welcome! I'm here recently too! Love the buzzcut! Did it last year and it was a rebirth hehee ! 💛
I'll have a closer look at your videos when I make more time, but Hey you guys have a really cool adventure going on there, that I can feel for sure! 🎊 Kudos!
Hi! Thank you!! It’s good to meet you! The buzz cut is great right?!
Yes! A must for every woman once in her life I say 🔥 xx
Nice to meet you! and welcome to hive !
Hi! It’s good to meet you too! Thank you!
Welcome to Hive! You'll find lots of sustainable/homesteading types here. Crypto is a learning curve for sure, but you'll get the hang of it!
If you haven't discovered this yet, there are other tokens beyond Hive and HBD that come from communities or call-bots or airdrops or... and anyway, you can find the ones you collect and buy/trade/sell them at hive-engine dot com. So here's one for you! :)
