As I started studying permaculture I began to realize what I had always assumed was true. Our connection to the outward environment is in direct relation to our inward environment. If we want to be healthy first we must aid in the health of the environment.

Viva La Mexico

Oh and did I mention package testing, market analysis, redesign and redesign again, troubleshooting the many roadblocks and issues that arise, finding the free time in an already hectic schedule, keeping motivated, inspired and driven, budgets everywhere, and don't forget to eat

When you start something it often takes more than you might think. This label test strip is a result of figuring out how to grow the microgreens, developing delicious and producible blends, concept branding, typesetting and layout design, template building and print proofing...

The wife put this together, happy happy Bowser

Building a hugelkultur mound in the front yard to outline the community garden. Started with a pile of logs, then grass clippings, then sticks, more clippings, and mulch and soil. I'm prepping the outside with trays of spent microgreens. They bring life and act as living mulch

Been MIA while some stuff gets sorted, but the sun is out and the tortoise and the dog are ready to get back to the garden

Have you ever processed raw beeswax from a hive? I'm wondering if the golden color is because I scorched it or if it will lighten up more as I process it further. The plan is another pass or two until I get all the sediment out.

Harvested that mushroom cluster today and cooked it with butter pasta and topped with some parsley macro greens from the garden. Steak and broccolini came from the store. My eventual goal is to be able to grow and produce everything but the steak

Just scored my first big account for the urban farm 😄 I'll start posting more about what I'm doing with the hopes of inspiring others to free themselves from the job market. It's not an easy road but it's worth it and if I can do it so can you ✊ Together we are stronger

So turns out I had my buckets mixed up, these are the golden oyster mushrooms, a pleasant mistake

My first mushroom bucket is showing progress ✊ They are brown Italian oyster mushrooms

Frost broke so Bowser got out to feel the rain while I did a little work in the garden

One selfish reason to save bees

Picked up a second restaurant, both small accounts but it's allowing me to scale production organically to stay on top of issues that keep coming up. Together they make up for the lost income from dropping a day at work so I'd have the time to make this happen. #MovingForward ✊

Just closed my first account for the farm I'm launching. It's a small account but a huge step to buying my way out of the job market ✊

Mr Bowser got out today and did a little photoshoot, I'm going to crop him out to put on a label for a product I'm developing

Everyone needs to watch this video cancelthisclothingcompany's video! #TikTok

Gas prices are crazy Just a reminder hemp biofuel can be brought to market for less than $3 which will decrease as production increases Unlike drilling for oil growing hemp is regenerative to the environment and can be done locally everywhere

Today's harvest, minus the crazy amount of tomatoes I started stewing for sauce before I decided to take the picture

Sometimes the why is very simple and right in front of our faces Can we please start taking hemp more seriously?
