Stalk Market Updates: We are coming to the final 2 months of our 2025 pilot season of the Stalk Market, at Yellow Barn Farm. We supported 8 local Soil Stewards with a collective total of about $120k over this season: 1. Regeneratively raised beef & pork from DAR 2. Eggs and chicken from the Flock Fathers 3. Veggies from Sunburn Farm 4. Homesteading education from You Enjoy Life 5. Farm-fresh community meals from Schlop Stop 6. Food scrap pickup & food delivery from Picky Pig 7. Market & freezer space from Yellow Barn 8. Logistics & software from the Stalk Market It takes a village to make food a reality! We have about $17k left to hit before the end of the season and plenty of meat to spare! We are hosting 'Cuts for a Cause' - a butcher box fundraiser to reach out goal to support all of our Stewards through the winter months. Want to contribute? You can reserve your 25lb box of mixed beef & pork cuts online - if you're local, come pickup at the farm. If you're not, contact us, we will work with you to get your box shipped to your doorstep! BTC & USD accepted. #ForTheSoil #RegenAg #Food #Farm #YellowBarn #BTC

Helllllllo Nostr! Been a while - here to give a little life update out at Yellow Barn Farm. We are halfway through our first pilot season for the Stalk Market as a community-driven "investment fund". We have pooled resources from 35 pilot members, and funds are used to purchase meatshares (regenerative beef and pork raised at Yellow Barn), produce from Sunburn Farm, and utilized for community meals, homesteading educational workshops, and food scrap collection + home food delivery. It's been a wild ride, and throughout all of this we have been slowly seeding this community with the idea of Bitcoin as an alternate currency. Yellow Barn has been hosting the monthly Boulder Bitcoin meetup, and Schlop Stop food truck (run by the same guys at Sunburn Farm who supply all our produce) are now set up with @strike to receive their first sats for meals at our Aug meetup. We've had educational meetups for the past 2 months covering an intro to BTC + a workshop on hosting your own node. This Aug will be on self-custody. Yellow Barn also hired a fractional Property Manager, who is a neighbor rancher, and all pay is in sats. The goal for the rest of this season is to meet our final fundraising target of $22k to get us through the rest of the year (specifically to pay for the beef and pork shares). Then, for 2026 memberships, each member who signs up for a Stalk Market Soil Share will be gifted X amount of BTC. So we have 5 months left to get all our market vendors, the sauna business now on the farm, and our own service businesses (Small Haul moving, Picky Pig compost, Kaizen landscaping, and Stalk Market food delivery) set up with wallets so they can accept BTC for events, food, and services once members receive their BTC gift. If you ever happen to be in Boulder, come visit us on the farm :) Got ideas, suggestions, or wanna get involved? DM me! And if you wanna throw in a few kernals for the cause, zap! @Stalk Market

Yellow Barn will be hosting our very first Sovereignty Summit on Sept 21. This will be a very unique event, something we've never done before. It will be a series of panels where folks in our community can apply to be a panelist or moderator for whatever topics they want to speak on. We will curate panels 1 week prior to the event. Check out www.yellowbarn.farm/sov-summit to see all the info. The photos shared give a peak into some of the topics and event design. #regenag #sovereignty #circularity

The Stalk Market is officially on Nostr and set up for Bitcoin. Follow us and plant some "seeds"! View quoted note →

Circular systems - soil, food, and compost. #regenag #stalkmarket #soil #food #compost

Friends!! We're going live with the whole "farming-as-a-service" idea and I'd love any feedback about our website. Does this make sense? Any errors or ways to improve the message? Any ideas on how to integrate Bitcoin payments on Wix?! Website: www.stalk-market.com #regenag #food #farmstr #bitcoin #foodstr #meat #soil

Missed y'all! Just had to pop in and say helllllllo 🌈🌈🌈 "Rainbows are always significant" I once told a friend 💙🦄 (Got the glasses to match 😍)

Companion Planting In Indigenous land wisdom, there are 3 Sister plants that, when grown together, help each other thrive: Corn, Beans, and Squash. Corn grows strong and tall. Beans twist and wind up long stalks, reaching for the sunlight. And Squash keeps the soil covered, protected and moist. This is the holistic and integrated approach to planting. Creating a microcosm within a greater ecosystem. Nature does not work alone. She has made puzzle pieces that fit together to make a whole. ----------- Our people systems follow the same principles. We need to thoughtfully plant ourselves with people, partners, teammates who help us grow and thrive. We tend to our relational Social Soil when we build trust and find the symbiosis that allows us to help one another grow to our fullest potential. Which also requires us prune, weed, water, compost, harvest, and rest our relationships. Order and harmony are not neat and tidy. In Nature, harmony looks messy but is a deeply complex system that has found equilibrium. The best thing you could do today is to tend to the garden of you and yours.

Mycelial networks. Same pattern, whether it's psychology, ecology or economy. View quoted note →

3 years ago we started a food waste collection program at Yellow Barn. I ran around to all the Home Depots and got them to donate 150 buckets to our cause, and there was the start of our first circular system. The compost program is a micro-business we operate, where our community pays a monthly fee to support us driving out to their home to swap their bucket weekly. Many members sign up for egg subscriptions and order other goods from the Stalk Market, which we then deliver on-route! The food scraps come back to the farm to feed our pigs (and piglets 😍), or used as a feedstock in our ASP compost pile. The pigs churn and fertilize the soil, and the finished compost is layered in before planting. Eventually, all the fruits, veggies, and flowers that grow from that soil can be delivered to our members. I very much envision a time not too long from now where when our members first sign up for the annual farm membership get half their dues credited back to them in Bitcoin, which they can use at the market, for events, or to tip their farmers. The farmhands can then be paid in Bitcoin, pay their rent in Bitcoin, and sell their products or crafts to the community and receive Bitcoin. The goal would be to help everyone in our community actually SEE the energy circulate through the ecosystem. And that kind of transparency creates quite a bit of awareness and empowerment for all parties involved in the circularity.

Reeeealllly excited cuz today we start the season-long Permaculture Design Course. Yellow Barn has been one of the host sites for the course over the last three years, and each year I've been too swamped with getting YB up and running to be able to participate. This is the first year I get to take the course 🤩 the stoke is high. I'll be posting updates here along the way. "The problem IS the solution" #farmstr #permaculture #regenag #socialdesign #farming #cows

Morning! Go outside today and put your feet on the ground! And remind yourself to breathe.
