30 fig cuttings for the new year. I love how simple these fruit trees are too propagate. #grownostr #fig #propagation

Took a backpacking trip with my brother and grandpa to Spainhour Falls, AR. We had some good times exploring. #camping #hiking #familytime #backpacking

Today's harvest: Eggs, okra, goji berries, lemon cucumber (huge), passion fruit, various sweet and spicy peppers, Large cherry tomatoes. I love taking a walk in the back yard and be able to harvest a full meal with minimal effort. Sure it was a ton of work to set up the system but now it pays dividends for years to come and will continue to produce more exponentially. This is a regenerative food system designed to give back to the land and increase fertility as every season passes. There is no longer a need for outside inputs as this is circular sustainable system creates everything it needs to thrive. #harvest #permits #permaculture #regenerativeag

We have attracted so many more #butterflies this year. Look at this bronze fennel. The black swallowtail caterpillars have found the best buffet for themselves. #grownostr #permies #ediblelandscape

My wife is cooler than yours. The front struts needed replaced on the van so I did one side while she watched and learned and she did the other side. We had no exp replacing struts but with a YT video and some AI questions we were able to knock out both sides in 2.5hrs. I’m very impressed with her. Teamwork makes the dream work! #mechanic #grownostr #homestead

We haven’t done biscuits and gravy in a while. Let me tell ya, my stuff SLAPS! #gm

I’m so exited that the #homesteading community is showing some love. We posted about doing our first #foodforrest tour and we’ve almost sold out of tickets for the first weekend. Guests will come on site to see exotic fruits and herbs, learn how to grow food the easy way, free fertility hacks, and reconnect with nature to help destress from our busy world. I can’t wait to meet everyone. #grownostr

And 3 months later I was finally able to get the framing finished. So far the only cost has been some lag bolts of $25. I’ll have to buy some metal for the roofing material but I’d say we saved several thousand dollars by cutting these cedar trees down ourselves and getting them milled. I will admit, #carpentry is not my strong attribute, but I think it’ll hold to our OK winds. #homestead #grownostr View quoted note →

If you take care of the land, the land will take care of you. We have a bounty of blackberries ready for harvest. If you’re in the #oklahoma area feel free to come out and pick to your heart’s content. #grownostr #homestead #permies

#Foodforest is exploding this year. The growth is phenomenal with all the rain and compost teas. Here’s a little Apple tree #guild with comfrey, locust, strawberry, sweet potato, cosmos, vetch, elderberry. So many benefits in such a small space. #grownostr #permies #diversity

Found some elderberry on the side of the road while taking a trip to Missouri. Had to get some cuttings to test out this variety back on our homestead. #propagation #grownostr

GM! Go out and make this day your best day. Only YOU can make that happen!! #gm

It’s my birthday today. Another year of lessons, another year of success, another year of failure, another year of education, another year of living life to the fullest. Here’s to another year of continued growth. 🍻🍻 #birthday #grownostr #zapathon

The best foods from the trip. I think the halibut tacos were the best… so fresh! #nclalaskancruise #foodstr
