Snapped a quick photo of our assistant farm manager evaluating our ranunculus crop #ranunculus #flowers #farmstr #farming

Apparently using plastic on my farm has a few people on #nostr a little butthurt. I will apologize to no one for our practices, hate all you want. Using plastic mulch helps us avoid using chemicals, it gives us better quality for our customers, and frees up our time for other work. If you want to hate on someone, try Monsanto before dissing a small farm producing for its local market. I guess even bitcoiners and freedom lovers can be petty unfortunately. That’s the end of my rant for the day

Some days it feels like no progress is made, and then you see a picture like this and see how far the plants have come. Onward to 2026. Looking forward to a great crop this spring #flowers #ranunculus #farmstr #spring

Sunday stroll through the farm, and had to share my favorite hellebore from the walk. Bayli’s Blush is the variety, a nice ray of sunshine during these cold cloudy days #hellebores #flowers #farmstr

I planted some Icelandic poppies in the home garden. They’re something I’ve never grown before, but I’m using the garden as a trial run to see if growing more volume is worth it. There’s not much that will grow during the colder winter months so the few that do always get extra appreciation #flowers #farmstr #poppies

During these short winter days there’s not much to do besides clean up and watch the plants come out of hibernation. Agriculture definitely makes you appreciate seasonality, each one has its own challenges and fun parts too #flowers #farmstr

More hellebore colors are coming out now. Christmas won’t be white but full of color here on the west coast #hellebore #flowers #farmstr

Lately I see a lot of fear and FUD about bitcoin, but when I think about it long term, this is a technology for the advancement of human freedom and prosperity. No amount of MSTR selling or liquidity problems is going to stop an idea whose time has come #bitcoin

Slowly but surely the ranunculus are bulking up #flowers #ranunculus #farmstr

I used to despise the people who posted yearly about their music choices, but here I am. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seasonal cashflow is difficult to manage in agriculture. Crops like hellebores really help out during the thin winter months. We’re looking forward to beginning harvesting in a few weeks #flowers #hellebores
