OffTheLand

About

"Abundance is here."

OffTheLand is a local marketplace where absolutely anyone can sell, trade, share, or buy their fruits, vegetables, seeds, eggs, livestock, bee products, services, hand crafts, and artisan goods.

OffTheLand is community-driven and sponsored and is a great place for hobby gardeners, homesteaders, small-scale ranchers, & permaculture folks to connect directly with local, discerning consumers.

Problems with global food supplies:

  1. Our global food supply chains are vulnerable to cyberattacks, pandemics, solar flares, and other black-swan events. If any one of these events were to occur, the food in our grocery stores would only last 3 days.
  2. On average, each item on the plate travels 1500 miles, and thus 84% of food cost goes to shipping, warehousing, distribution, brokering, insuring, and retail. Inflation and economic pressures significantly increase the food prices at each step of the global food supply chains.

Solutions that OffTheLand brings:

  1. Turn your passion and hobby of gardening and ranching into a revenue stream by selling your abundance directly to conscious consumers in your local community (in your zip-code).
  2. Bartering, buying, & selling items locally builds a network of reliable & like-minded individuals. It's a win-win!

The Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum), also known as the Sweetheart Plant

The Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum), also known as the Sweetheart Plant, is a classic, low-maintenance houseplant loved for its trailing vines and lush, heart-shaped leaves. It’s perfect for beginners and can thrive in various indoor conditions. USDA Hardiness Zone • Grows outdoors in zones 11–12, where it can thrive year-round in tropical or subtropical climates. • Indoors, it can grow in any zone as long as it is protected from frost. Benefits • Air Purification: Filters toxins like formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. • Versatility: Works as a hanging plant, climbing plant, or tabletop display. Characteristics • Appearance: Glossy, deep green, heart-shaped leaves. Variegated varieties may have lighter green or yellow patterns. • Growth Habit: Fast-growing vine that can trail from hanging baskets or climb when supported by a trellis or moss pole. • Size: Indoors, it typically grows 6–10 feet long or more as a trailing plant. Care Requirements 1. Light • Prefers bright, indirect light, but tolerates low light. • Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. 2. Watering • Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry. • Overwatering can cause root rot; underwatering may lead to drooping leaves, but they usually perk back up after watering. 3. Soil • Use a well-draining, all-purpose potting mix. 4. Humidity • Thrives in moderate to high humidity, but adapts well to typical indoor conditions. • Can benefit from occasional misting or placement near a humidifier. 5. Temperature • Ideal range: 65°F–85°F (18°C–29°C). • Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C). 6. Fertilizer • Feed monthly with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter

The Villages, FL

There are many great homesteading, gardening, & living-off-the-land type of communities for sharing pictures, experiences, knowledge, and advice. But at best, these only offer a state-level forum or chat, so there’s no way to know who is in YOUR zipcode and what they are selling, giving away, or wanting to buy. OffTheLand acts as an enhancement/extension to these existing communities, to allow people to interact with like-minded folks in their local zipcode.
