Just gave the library a major overhaul. You can now read every book on the site directly or download in PDF/HTML if you want a copy to read offline. Feedback greatly appreciated! farmarchive.org/library/

@Empty_America Our US homestead sits just off the Old National Highway that runs through PA. It’s one of the most beautiful drives I’ve ever made, including through Big Sur. So happy to be back in Appalachia after trying to build a business in the city. Always take the backroads when you can!

The Knowledge of "how" to drive through America is somewhat a lost art. On the interstates, you can drive coast to coast and see almost nothing but ugliness, gas stations, etc. You need to research and follow the old "US Routes" these are 2 lane roads from the old days.

🥜🍪 A new way of shopping has taken root. Built from soil, community, and real food. Even peanut butter cookies taste sweeter here. ✨ Instacart is now live within our app on both Apple 🍎 and Android 🤖. Shop local farmers and local stores all through Mulberry Tree. 🚚🌱🛒

@badbake_offgrid I can’t remember if I’ve asked already, but would you like a listing on the website? It’s just a simple page but it’s another back link to your store and socials. If you’re unsure, let me know and I’ll make a draft page for you to look over!

Just got done working with Claude to add another update to the store. It hit me that I am not going to be spell-checking anyone's plant names or farm names. So I wanted to add a check to give people the chance to go back and make sure before it gets added to the cart.

@Half_A_Pond Our local Peavey Mart (Tractor Supply) recently closed and I’m still mourned its loss. It was my happy place outside the home 😂

One of the things I like best about my local Rural King is that there is no music at all. It’s wonderful. I wish they had a meat department and deli.

@OldHollowTree this bee keeping book I came across looking for your grandfather’s looks like a collaboration between yours and @owroot’s ancestors.

@OldHollowTree Came across this while adding his video to the website. If you ever find Part 1, even just a manuscript, we will publish and print it for you for free. Open offer, no expiration!

This is an EXTREMELY long shot but if anyone has Part One of this curriculum, I would greatly appreciate a copy. It would have been distributed around Beverly, MA in the late 90s. It was a course my grandfather taught that I only just learned of.

@mulberrytreeapp @FarmstrongPod @AtomicErectus @sovernTranch You’re very welcome! Let me know if there’s ever anything you’d like me to add. Eventually I’ll expand the page and add a place for a direct App Store button, socials, etc.

@Farm_Archive @FarmstrongPod @AtomicErectus @sovernTranch Thank you soooo much

Starve the beast.. Stop buying cheaply made, mass produced goods from large corporations that don’t care about you or your community Stop letting the government steal your earnings through taxation

Links page is now live, featuring @mulberrytreeapp, @FarmstrongPod, and @OldHollowTree’s legendary grandfather. Suggestions for new links always welcome! farmarchive.org/links/

@FarmstrongPod @mulberrytreeapp @AtomicErectus @sovernTranch Links page is up now, let me know if y’all would like me to add or change anything! farmarchive.org/links/

@mulberrytreeapp @AtomicErectus @sovernTranch @Farm_Archive Yes!

@OldHollowTree Links page is now live! farmarchive.org/links/

@OldHollowTree Ohhh I should make a video archive for the website, this would be a perfect addition…

I want to remind all new and old beekeepers that the Welfleet Public Library recorded my grandfather walking you through a year of beekeeping back in 1990. Infinitely useful. youtube.com/watch?v=ReDdP9…

@OldHollowTree farmarchive.org/links/

@Farm_Archive Please do.

@PeggiBosquez That’s really damn cool, you have every reason to be proud! And thanks for reminding me to get my wife a pizza stone 😂

Yall, I made the cheese. 😆 I have zero reason why that is important but to me it is.

So, I did a thing tonight for dinner. Homemade pizza. I did the dough, the cheese and the sauce. Daughter wants a thinner crust. Hubby wants pepperoni. I am adding that to my list of things to do at home. Overall a good thing. I did get a stone for my oven. I know there are other options. We are always a work in progress.

@OldHollowTree It feels like there’s a zero missing here. Hope they fix the algorithm soon because we need more of this and less of like…almost everything else on this site!

Keep going. Keep building. It’s going to be alright. The bees told me you’re going to make it.

@PeggiBosquez @RossionQ Do you know anyone looking to expand their flock who would be willing to help with trapping in exchange for a couple of laying hens? I have a ton of traps and would gladly help out if I was in your neck of the woods!

@RossionQ Well, they seem to have figured it all out. We went from 1 hen who decided to go rogue to probably close to 70? Just a guess because I don't have a clue. They just keep popping up. It makes it really hard to have a garden.

I thought that I was so smart to capture these little feral chickens in the crate.. went back later and they were gone. 🤣 We have been working on catching more of the ferals. We need them to be healthy and OK. Our acres can only keep so many healthy. If they roam too far the roaming dogs will get them. Sigh.

@1984ccy @AtomicErectus @Utter_Savagery @mageeclegg Thank you sir, I really appreciate that!

@AtomicErectus @Utter_Savagery @mageeclegg @Farm_Archive It’s amazing work. Wish you all the best! 🫡

Everyone romanticizes the “simple life” abroad. But I’ve met expats in Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, and even here in Chile who were miserable. Drinking too much. Lonely. Broke. Running from something they never fully confronted. The guy waking up hungover at 2pm in Medellín… is often the same guy who was waking up hungover at 2pm in Chicago… Just with less pressure to look in the mirror.

@GubbaHomestead @DawnsMission I planted them intentionally a while back and am letting them grow wild in our food forest. Already attracting fuzzy friends!

@DawnsMission You don’t even need the chemtrails or bill gates. You have everyday mom and pops brainwashed to spray the dandelions in their yard. One of the first foods for bees coming out of winter.

@ExtropiAna @6thGenFloGrown Our dog loves sweet potatoes and digging, so I’m gonna plant her a patch to “garden” in lol. She actually already planted a very healthy tomato plant by pooping a seed in the yard and I made a whole YouTube series documenting its growth 😂

@6thGenFloGrown The sweet potatoes, though… I’ve got vines coming out of places I forgot I ever planted sweet potatoes 😂 perfect surprises!

When a friend tells you about the regular potatoes & sweet corn he just planted… in SWFL… at the wrong time of year… All I can say is “if it doesn’t work out, make sure you try again in November!” 😬

@flintlockactual “Township, eh? Well, I’m sure they can cover a new engine block for ya!”

Unknown vehicle snuck in the driveway, set off the perimeter alarm, and sat at the top of the hill looking around. I took his info and checked him out before I went up to cause a ruckus. Turns out it was just a guy from the city that Google got lost. *Observation equipment pic unrelated*
