Our community is our online homestead—a place where we can connect, learn, and grow together in our shared journey toward a holistic, home-based life. To ensure this remains an uplifting and productive space, we ask that you follow a few simple rules:
- Common Ground: We are here to discuss the topics reflected in our community spaces: homesteading, natural wellness, homemaking, faith, and practical skills. Please keep conversations focused on these areas. To maintain our peaceful atmosphere, we will not debate general news, politics, or broader world events. Avoid sensationalistic content, conspiracy theories, or language designed to incite fear. Our goal is to empower and educate, not stir up anxiety.
- Build Each Other Up: Our priority is to encourage one another. We would love for you to ask questions, share personal experiences, and offer advice in a spirit of generosity and support. Always lean in to grace in your discussions and be kind and charitable. While membership is open to all, this community operates from a Christian worldview. You do not have to be a believer to participate, but content that is mocking, hostile, or intended to undermine faith in Jesus is not permitted.
- Practical Advice: Please feel free (and encouraged) to share your personal testimonies and experiences with natural wellness. Our goal is to empower each other to take charge of our own well-being, and being able to freely share the truth is one of the top reasons we created our own private community.
- Zero Tolerance for Harassment: Bullying, name-calling, threats, or harassment of any kind will result in immediate removal from the community. If you see any posts or comments that violate this rule, please help us by immediately flagging them.
- Commerce: Do not promote your business, products, services, or other groups without explicit prior approval from a community moderator. This includes directing members to your external social media pages or blogs for promotional purposes. Buying/selling/trading of livestock is only permitted in the dedicated directory on holistichomesteaders.com.
Our Commitment to You
We will strive to enforce these guidelines with fairness and grace. Our goal is not censorship, but stewardship—protecting the peaceful, productive, and uplifting nature of this unique space we are building together. By participating in this community, you agree to abide by these guidelines. Thank you for helping us to grow this community to become “Better With Thyme.”
