I don't see the point in violence and destruction

I don't see the point in violence and destruction but I do see the need for change. We are with you. What bills should we call our representatives about? Who should we elect that will propose these bills? We need to take this fight to the enemy. Direct this energy to a battleground that will offer a lasting change.

Had our first chicken harvest of the year today and now have chicken in stock. Keep an eye on our website as we will soon be launching our online store. In the meantime you can contact me via email if you would like some 🐔😊. We've also changed our pricing model. Our birds weigh between 3-5lbs. Under 4lbs are $20. Birds 4lbs and up are $25
Fed organic feed and raised on green grass

Lot got done this weekend thanks to the help from @geishadiamonds and @__katiedanielle__ . Installed 4 water hydrants and got power to the chicken processing shelter and the new veg processing shelter

And we finally have proper irrigation to the garde

And we finally have proper irrigation to the garden. Persistence might be the single most important factor to being successful. To get these three things humming I replaced my well pump and pressure tank, re-plumbed the line to the spigot and replaced the spigot to try to eliminate any choke points in the waters journey to the sprinkler heads. All that to understand the sprinkler valves I had ordered used almost 7 gal a min at 15 psi🤦🏼‍♂️.... So I ordered new valves. 1000$ spent, a months time(thank you corona), and several headaches later here we are. Really enjoyed watching these puppies sling water yesterday. It didn't happen overnight but it did happen

Mother nature has been showing her ass this year. Didn't have all the frost protection needed to cover the newly transplanted tomatoes so I had to improvise for the last 40' or so🤦🏼‍♂️

First pass with the @paperpotco transplanter. Transplanting spinach here. Over 1000 starts transplanted in about 15 minutes. And that's my first time using it. Think its won't be long before that time is halved after working with thing a little bit. First impressions are that this thing is just as advertised

@storeitcold cool bot powered cold room is nearly finished. Going to put a layer of plywood around the outside to help protect the insulation. But other than that it's ready to rip. R value should be 25+ and it's sealed up tighter than a..... I'll let you guys finish that one.

Another big piece of infrastructure installed.... Sort of. The skeleton of my veg wash and pack is erected. Now just need to deck it out with everything needed to was and pack. Including but not limited to bubblers for greens, root veg spray table, fans, greens spinner, egg wash station, packing station, more fans, power, water, and more😬🥴

Next batch of babies are settled in. Working on their field pen now. Watching these things go from infancy to freezer is a trip. Definitely brings a perspective and gratitude for my food.

First batch of pastured poultry is on pasture. As you can tell we start them on pasture as soon as we think they can take it. These little ones will have sunshine bugs and fresh green every day of there life from now on. Try to limit their bad days to just 1.

The aftermath. Up to an inch of rain they said.... Not that anything could have been done had I known we were going to get creamed like this. Don't have my rain gauge up yet because we are still getting freezing temps every now and then but my best guess is we got around 6" last night going off what I've seen in the past. The biggest rain we've had up to this point was 4" a couple years ago and the flooding wasn't anywhere close to this. 🤦🏼‍♂️ The joys of being a farmer. Overall the damage could be worse but it's definitely a gut shot after putting in so much work to balance the soil and get it looking the way it did.

Finally sowing some seeds in the ground. We got a hard freeze coming tonight but my sugar snap peas should be just fine. First time using my zipper from @neversinkfarmtools.
Worked like a charm. Just as advertised.

The garden is starting to take shape. We have staked beds in half of it and have started to apply all the nutrients they needs for a balanced soil. We did do an initial till for the first year but plan on going fully no till from here on out. We've already got plastic down for the expansion next year 🙂 More to come in the next few days

I'm on the way to drop off 20 dozen eggs @windings

I'm on the way to drop off 20 dozen eggs @windingstairfarm nursery. Eggs have a very long shelf life even unrefrigerated. That being said be considerate of your neighbors and only buy what you need. Believe it or not, my chickens are clueless we humans are dealing with this thing and they are laying eggs just like they always do. To be clear THE EGG SUPPLY CHAIN IS FULLY INTACT. Stay safe. Stay calm. Help one another. "We're only gunna die from our own arrogance, that's why we might as well take our time" - sublime

"Breaking ground" on the future Veg wash/weigh/package station. Waiting on the building now. Was fun learning to use the tractor to do a bit of grading. Bit of a learning curve but I seemed to start to get the hang of it

This may not look like much to you but it looks pretty awesome to me. I've sat up on this hill and looked down at this flat spot Invisioning the future of this particular chunk of the farm since I moved to the farm. Patiently waiting and believing whole heartedly that my vision will eventually materialize into reality as long as I keep my nose down and grind away. It's not always easy to see the growth of the farm. Often times it's like trying to watch yourself age in the mirror. It's so slow and gradual that you don't see it happening in the present moment. But sometimes big things happen and happen so fast that it's hard not to get excited. This is one of those moments. It's further reassurance that moments like this seem to be happening with increased regularity.
.
A LOT of really exciting things planned for 2020. With those things will bring even greater challenges. I'm excited face them and grow past them

This is a disgrace. It's behavior like this roll back that is exactly what we're rebelling against. Stop waiting for other people to fix the problems you care about and be the change you want to see. Join the resistance
