I mean, I always thought it would be some kind of grain, like wheat or barley, with a few chickens and maybe a milk cow.
I also have a mini headcanon that they had a few apple trees growing on their land and Kaz and Jordie would be the ones to actually pick them, with Kaz scampering up the trees and tossing the apples down to Jordie as he goes. He'd also probably primarily be involved with the livestock, especially the chickens, and the housework, since he'd have been too small to be much help in the field.
4/3/24 ~ lil elephant ear I got last October and planted late in the season has returned 🥹 I honestly didn’t know if it’d make it or not, but she’s here ✨
There are more than 1,000 varieties of banana, and we eat one of them. Here’s why that’s absurd...
The lack of diversity could mean the fruit’s extinction. It offers a stark warning of what could happen to other key foods.
Most people don’t question why every banana they’ve ever eaten looks and tastes pretty much the same.
Most of us will never try a blue java from Indonesia with its soft, unctuous texture and flavour of vanilla ice-cream, or the Chinese banana that is so aromatic it’s been given the name go san heong, meaning “you can smell it from the next mountain”.
The demand for low-cost, high-yielding varieties has resulted in vast monocultures of just one type of globally traded banana, and this is true of many other crops as well. Homogeneity in the food system is a risky strategy, because it reduces our ability to adapt in a rapidly changing world...

J’ai fait mes deux premiers jours de stage chez une productrice de fleurs coupées et c’était GÉNIAL. On a énormément papoté au sujet des questions que je me poser pour s’installer en production florale, elle parle beaucoup mais pas pour rien dire, le courant passe hyper bien. J’ai hâte d’y retourner au printemps !
I was once a teenage paper carrier in small town Idaho. One of my stops was an apartment complex, and for much of the year, this was an uneventful stop. But for a few weeks in the summer, the purple-leaved plum trees out front had ripe fruit on them, and each time I was there, I would stop and take a few. In general, I don’t get that excited about fruit, but I enjoyed eating these plums. This…
Vertical indoor farming solutions represent a pioneering approach aimed at optimizing cultivation space by harnessing vertical surfaces. Embraced widely, especially in urban locales grappling with spatial constraints, these systems present a compelling alternative to conventional outdoor farming, particularly in areas where traditional agricultural practices face logistical challenges.
[This is a sfw post outside of normal posting so if you're not interested go ahead or hi- if you're interested in fresh veggies just say so, that's why i'm here]
For those of you who do not know me, I grew up as many a thing, mostly- a farming boy. I have photos of me as a child in mountains of dirt, barrel racing, my rite of passage as a fourteen year old was chopping up my first tree into firewood for the winter.
Today I come to you as a simple PNW style southern boy who grew up simply, and wants to return to that.
My grandmother on the non-yeeyee side of my family, who raised me the other half of the time, NEVER understood what it was about me, dirt, bugs, and 'those damn boots'.
-there is also a picture of me as a child brushing my teeth in my pj's and my pink sparkly cowboy boots posing as a gay man would as a female child. how did she not know-
Anyway, I'm at a time in my life and my disabilities leave me to be able to do one thing.
Farm.
The problem is, even though I already have my winter crops sprouting, she doesn't believe anyone gives a crap about raising livestock and farm fresh greens. I also know how to run a 'bee farm', and I do landscaping as well. I also spent about a year straight on a hard-labor farm where I worked with breaking horses and I had a lot of achievements from that time of my life despite it coming from horrific circumstances.
This is a little all over the place and out of what I usually post, but out of sheer desperation to return to my roots and be able to make a comfortable living,
Is anyone interested in beets? I have potatoes and onions, fresh herbs, and I even can my own sauces.
(surprise, did you know i'm also a trained chef? I've had a lot of work history for 21 y/o.)
Just trying to see on probably the most underutilized platform who has interest so I have a market to shove at my grandmother so she'll leave me alone and be my reference so I can get this dang land.
