We are building a mycelial network - and Yellow Barn is a node in that network. The Stalk Market is the connective tissue to link the nodes together. To help make them visible. And Picky Pig is the artery system that helps move resources and recycle waste between nodes. The Stewards holistically tend the ecosystem. The Operators build the channels for resource to move. And the Players bring it to life with their participation. This mycelial network needs complexity to be resilient. If one node fails, the entire network can still keep functioning. Redundancy becomes resiliency. There are community nodes all over the globe in varying phases of stability, infrastructure, experimentation, and viability. And the more nodes that are fully operating - simultaneously supporting and being supported by their local communities - the more we can wean ourselves off the current systems that are no longer protecting us. The more we feed the Kraken with our energy, our attention, our money, the stronger it becomes. The bravest thing we could all do is to STOP feeding those systems and start feeding the nodes. Pick a node. Nurture it. Like growing food, the more you pour into it, the more it can feed you. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. #Bitcoin #theStalkMarket #YellowBarnFarm #CircularEconomy #Nodes #MycelialNetwork

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

Looking for feedback on the newest version of Thr Stalk Market! Does it make sense? Would you do it? Any suggestions?

Any #Bitcoiners at #BurningMan? Hmu!

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

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

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

GM I find that when the somethings stack up too high, the paralysis sets it and the void of nothing yawns open, ready to devour. But then when you find the balance point - the ecotone between everything and nothing - that's when the eye of the needle can be threaded. The mystery awaiting you if you follow the middle path. Just keep walking.

Ya know, with the fact that nostr is #nodelete land, the ability to preview a post would be nice. Make sure your reposted notes, link previews, and whatever else you're trying to share is actually gonna look like you're hoping it will. #nostrdesign #asknostr

Can we stop counting followers and start focusing on quality of connections? #weboftrust #my150 #nostrdesign

GM! Sharing some Sharpie art pulled from the swirling mess of my mind. Can one of you amazing AI artists turn this digital?! #art #artstr #ink #color #gm #trippy
