I’ve been thinking about hoof health during this February thaw in Maine so today I gave the sheep (+1 goat) some rocks to step on and work their hooves. The sheep did a little sniffing around the new toys, but the goat didn’t hesitate to hop right on. #grownostr #homestead #grassfed image

Has anyone ever read "Terra Papers: The Suppressed History of Earth" by Robert Morning Sky? It's supposedly the source story for star wars, star trek and many other myths and stories in our modern pop culture.

Anyone know of or use any good nostr marketplaces yet? I assume they will be mostly bitcoin and shippable product based at first, but it would be nice to start seeing a nostr market eat into craigslist and FB marketplace. #grownostr #nostrmarket

Up early this morning thinking about the actions that will move me closer to my vision of decentralized permaculture communities and economies based on liberty. Next step, go do my small part. #GM #vision #fiatgrind

Testing out Lightning Invoices on Nostr using my new Alby wallet. Send me 21 sats and I'll pay it forward to someone else. lnbc210n1pj0ypydpp57xwy3uaze74jy3ypyff09xrv0uhue5feanha5tuay9yvd59r7aasdqhfehhxarjypdxzupq23jhxaqcqzzsxqyz5vqsp545u8n4ycsu7pccr7xtprw6nvj9x8np3460tmsvnsme4yjgc5qsts9qyyssqlg2pfcnw3wlw729ekkz6yp4we6qlp0nyv5v06x5ltxh2p7hnarnp25qekg7j35csmvwxjg8244eaz4k7z0qanz2r7udpmy36s0aqkqqpvzmcvn @npub1kuy0wwf0tzzqvgfv8zpw0vaupkds3430jhapwrgfjyn7ecnhpe0qj9kdj8

I used some scrap gutter material from one of my recent jobs to create a custom mineral feeder for my mobile sheep shelter that I pull along each time I move them. I’ve heard varying opinions on the importance of minerals when it comes to raising sheep. I tend to believe most shepherds and books by shepherds when they talk about the importance of minerals. Selenium seems to be especially important here in the northeast as it is lacking in our soils. Minerals seem to be important for human health as well and I would bet what the animals eat end up in the meat. What has your experience been with minerals wether as a farmer or as a health conscious human?#minerals #regenerativeagriculture #rotationalgrazing #grassfed #repurposed

Thankful to have a barn to park the tractor in with all the rain this year. I hope you are all finding ways to adapt to what was reportedly the wettest June on record in Maine with 5 inches rainfall.

First harvest from Shake the Tree at Clover Hill Farm is Strawberry flowers. It’s not much, but it’s a start. Shake the Tree is a project that is years in the making and hopefully will continue to be for decades to come. Meghan and I have a vision to add our flavor to the growing number of folks growing strong local communities by re-engaging with our landscapes in a regenerative way. Our mission is to create a thriving land-based business, by growing food in perennial crop systems, helping others do the same with our edible and medicinal plant nursery, producing pasture based meat using rotational grazing to mimic the natural movement of animals on the land, provide educational and therapeutic experiences for people on this beautiful land we now call home. Clover Hill Farm is the name of farm we now tend and it is in the town of Alfred on what was once Pequawket land. Clover Hill Farm is where this will start. Who knows where it will end. I hope you come along for the ride.

Does anyone have a good source for charting or tracking the bitcoin price in terms of gold? I heard Robert Breedlove talk about the exchange rate being a more accurate reflection of its value, but haven’t been able to find a historical chart. #bitcoin #gold

What are everyone’s favorite #nostr clients so far. I’ve heard there is a marketplace client now, but not sure what it’s called or if it’s gone live. I’d love to see nostr replace Facebook marketplace. #grownostr #circular-economy

Laying out the new raspberry patch on contour last night at the farm. I used an A frame plumb bob (forgot to get a picture of that) to find the precise contours and then smoothed it to a line of best fit and then laid out parallel rows at the proper spacing. Todays plan is to till it up and hopefully not hit to many rocks! Wish me 🍀 luck. #regenerativeag #permaculture #grownostr

Got a flat tire in the Vermont garden cart at an in-opportune time. I think it was one of the multiflora rose thorns. Should I order a new tube or try to repair? That is the question. #permaculture #regenerativeag #grownostr
