Today was a productive prepper day. Cut, ground, packaged and froze 28 pounds pf pork and canned 14 quarts of beef stew.

2025 tobacco harvest is in progress.

A classy place. Cold beer though. #beerstr

Friday night goat fights! Might start a tradition. 😆 #goatstr

Got the cider racked last night. Now some more time until bottling, should be ready for gift baskets by Christmas.

GN team. Hope everyone stacked a tall pile today.

Fermented my first batch of hot sauce and got it bottled. Will be adding to our Christmas gift baskets to family and friends. We’re gifting all homemade items this year. #grownostr

Picked the last of the green beans and also a bonus harvest of cilantro! That’ll be going in the freeze dryer later! #grownostr

This morning was the appointed time for the last batch of the year. #grownostr

I loathe these horn worms.

I planted a mimosa tree today that I started from a seed. I collected that seed from a Vietnam war vet in New Mexico last October. He lives across the street from my father, also a Vietnam vet. The reason for my visit last year was to assist my dad with the home hospice passing of my stepmother from cancer. His buddy lost his wife to cancer a year prior, they have become close. This tree will be nice to sit under someday and reflect and remember life. Hopefully I can do so with my dad before he passes. Heavy note, but it’s the most significant thing I did today, everything else was routine. Felt like sharing with my Nostr team. Now to spend time with my family after being gone all week on business. #gn #grownostr

New beef on the homestead. My daughter’s 4H steer for next year.

We finished our first batch of homegrown onion powder using our freeze dryer. Turned out really well. Will be making garlic powder next. Wife has been selling to friends and family. The green beans are still producing and we are blessed with an abundance!
