Farming and grumping in NY. Terrible at proofreading my posts.
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.

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’ll mostly be posting on that. I mostly shoot from the hip on social so a lot of what I share will not be planned or coordinated like someone pursuing professions content creator status. I’m allergic to that sort of thing so I’m mostly here to connect in earnest and have interesting conversations.

We mostly operate from a “subsistence first” model, where we seek to meet our dietary and energy needs first, selling excess second to that. A choice we came to after doing the market farmer hustle + burning out. We have some interest in approachable, affordable methods of disaster preparedness.

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!
