Doing hard things makes you a better human. Bikepacking is one of my hard things. Loaded down with gear, bike all day, camp all night, then bike all the way back. Good times. #grownostr #bikepacking

Chicken have to be one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to produce some of your own food. #growfood #grownostr #eggs #chickens

I planted 10 trees this past weekend. 5 red oak and 5 redbuds. Nothing fancy, just whatever they had at the county ag tree sale. A little compost and some water to help them along. I've been planting trees almost every year. Sometimes one or two, sometimes 100. Slow and steady wins this race. #grownostr #trees #plants

My barn gym is currently buried under moving boxes. Until I can get back to my weights, I'm doing daily pushups. Not much, but gotta do something to fight the slow decline with age. #lifting #grownostr #exercise

The paw paw trees are almost blooming. Kids and chickens love it ... I don't. Edible and native to my area so I'll grow it. #growfood #grownostr

Multiple day post ... What do you feel is the meaning of life? I have my ideas but want to hear some other ideas. When your dash is done ... How will you define success? #grownostr #philosophy

World's most expensive compost. #horse #grownostr

Peas are I'm the ground. Later than planned but still getting it done. Doing no-till again this year. #growfood #grownostr
