Homestead mailing list

["Lynn Wigglesworth" <lynnw1366 AT hotmail.com>]

Rob came up with a good set of questions. I'd add: do you have a market for 
what you want to sell? and who is "we"? How many people do you have to help 
and what kind of experience do they have? If you have to start from scratch 
learning to homestead or building up the soil and infrastucture, it will be 
a while before it will be rolling along to the point where you can sell 
anything or teach it to others.
