This is such a great book. Highly recommend reading it, but only if you know there are ways you can work around everything. Don’t be a defeatist. We greatly outnumber them. Get to work. #grownostr #homesteading #rawmilk

Good morning. Can’t wait for the summer, but I will miss my morning fires.

Making it rain in the desert. Nothing like it. #grownostr #homesteading #irrigation

We’ve got a saying out here in the west that goes, “whiskey’s for drinkin and it’s the water that’s for fightin.” Snowpack levels look great so far. Hopefully that holds. There’ll be a lot less fighting if it does. #grownostr #irrigation

Finished up the roof on the Piggy Palace. Now just a partition wall, outdoor paddocks and then power. Hopefully they don’t show up early! #grownostr #construction #homesteading

Happy Friday! Hopefully you’re night involves cow kisses. 😘 #grownostr #grassfedbeef #homesteading

I’m thinking about opening a CrossFit gym on the farm. I’ll only charge 1/2 of what other gyms do and let you move and stack all these 145lb bales of alfalfa. Who’s in!? #grownostr #homesteading #farmworkout

My girl Dolly really encapsulates how I feel at the end of the work week. #grownostr #farmdog #constructionworker

For our wedding I milled 4” thick slabs out of old growth juniper for benches. Now I’ve been turning the benches into other things. Custom juniper and steel spice rack! #grownostr #woodworking #construction

Its a bummer we didn’t breed our goats this year, but you do have to mange your own time, energy and money. Pigs felt like enough for us this year. Until I look at a picture of our goat kids from last year and immediately get FOMO! #grownostr #dairygoats
