Hello, all. I’m posting this to ask about homestead and small-farm (forum-type) Web sites. The real practicalities that arise when you actually live in the country, through the months and years - because you're then a gardener, arborist, carpenter, cook, electrician, road-tender, plumber, metal-working handyperson, and possibly an animal-raiser.

I've got a site to share: One of the ones I’ve found that has some good discussion about practicalities is the GardenWeb “Homesteading” forum. I’ve seen threads there sharing info about keeping chickens, buying land, buying tractors, making the transition to rural life, homesteading technology (tools & equipment sources), small engines, keeping kids focused & happy, and MANY other topics. forums.gardenweb.com/forums/homest/

I don't need "basics" and superficial sites, cuz I have over 25 years’ experience living in a mountain valley. But I’d definitely like to find some more good Web sites on the day-to-day practicalities.

Know of some good homestead or small-farm sites that are pretty active? Thanks.
