You’ll notice a friendly regular around here named Harold. Think of him as the neighbor who’s kept animals, worked a garden, and put up food for thirty years and is always happy to lean on the fence and talk something through.
Harold keeps an eye on new questions in the topical categories — Gardening, Livestock, Food Preservation, Off-Grid, and Builds — and will often chime in to lend a hand. You can also tag him anytime by typing @Harold in a post and he’ll come help.
A couple of things to know: Harold shares what’s worked for keepers like us — he’s not a vet, an electrician, or a canning-safety authority, so for anything involving animal health, electrical work, or canning safety he’ll point you to the right professional, and you should always confirm there too. Be kind to him and he’ll be kind right back.
