I don’t think there is anything worse than rich people deciding to start “farming” while there are people who have dedicated their whole lives to the work, with limited resources, struggling to take their businesses to the next level. Rich ppl: invest in existing farms and just keep a garden.

I have a bunch of basketry willow cuttings available and will ship within the US. DM me and I’ll send you the order spreadsheet. Ask any questions below.

Is it just me or is the social fabric just getting more and more unraveled? I acknowledge it could be me but I’ve never felt more isolated than I do right now. I see people talking about community all the time and I just have no effing idea what they are talking about. Fake it til you make it?

Hey homesteaders: post yr pantries! Extra points if you don’t have a monetized social media account about your pantry.

Polish donut (pączki) recipe testing: Round 1. Fried in pasture raised lard and filled with homemade black currant jam. The dough wasn’t quite right with the batch, but still delicious. Back to the drawing board!

So excited to have an indoor space to host visitors that isn’t my personal living space. New wood stove installed in our summer kitchen. Will be teaching classes and hosting our weaving circle here.

I guess an intro is in order: I’m Meg. I’ve been farming full time for 15 years in NJ and now NY. I grow veg, herbs, cut flowers and raise chickens for eggs. Formerly raised goats for dairy but enjoying a ruminant-free period for now. We run a farm stand and sell to restaurants…

Just mailed off this basket that I made for my friend’s wedding gift. It cost $168 to ship. I’m not a natural at weaving and I’ve been trying really hard to get reasonably good at it. If the post office damages it I’m going to beat some ass, I think.

When I realized that I could make my own tortillas, even as a person who sucks at baking bread, so many possibilities emerged. Entire cultures have flourished while consuming breads that never saw the inside of an oven. I feel free!

Welp, yet another social app. How long until I start ignoring this one?

Any advice on approach with this one? Left Twitter a year ago, Threads is filled with engagement bait. Where can I find other grumpy back-to-the-land types on here that aren’t trads? No content creators, just good convos.
