Food and medicine grows all around us, you just have to learn to and choose to see it
Learn to forage. It changes your perspective

Picking up almost 600 lbs of beef from the butcher today. Cant wait to fill my freezers with my own beef again. We just finished the last of our beef a few days ago.
I raise my own beef, pork, chicken and duck here on my ranch. We just added some geese and turkeys as well.

This is me. Francine, a wife, a mother of four miracles, and a farmer.
Like so many families, we saw a growing problem in our country. Our first solution was simple, buy a farm and grow our own food. But no family, no farmer, and no community can thrive alone.
God placed a dream on my heart to help reconnect people to real food, local farmers, and their communities. That dream became Mulberry Tree, the first recipe app where you can buy ingredients directly from local farmers and stores through Instacart.
We are helping pave the way toward stronger local food security, healthier communities, and a future where American farmers can thrive again.
Every purchase is a choice.
Every garden is a step forward.
Every local farmer supported helps build a better tomorrow for our children.
Together, we can grow something beautiful again.
Come grow with us. 🌱

@untappedgrowth @Mathew_Winters1 @wilson_dunham_f @beefinitiative @yngfarmpreneur @angrycowboy1 Profit level depends on how much help you need.

@KimWellsWFF @Mathew_Winters1 @wilson_dunham_f @beefinitiative @yngfarmpreneur @angrycowboy1 You've dodged or answered otherwise every time I have asked
And no, it doesn't mean you would not be operating. Most operations in the nation are unprofitable and the equity inflation has allowed them to leverage debt to overcome negative profit margin / cash flows
English
You want to be in farming? You want to be part of processing? You need a door opened for you? Let’s talk! I want to see the work continue! I WANT the next generation to be able to be part of feeding our people!

@untappedgrowth @Mathew_Winters1 @wilson_dunham_f @beefinitiative @yngfarmpreneur @angrycowboy1 One thing. Most of the income from Barnard Processing is made from providing a service. As for the livestock we own there are some great ways to market them as they grow. There’s room for more also.

@untappedgrowth @Mathew_Winters1 @wilson_dunham_f @beefinitiative @yngfarmpreneur @angrycowboy1 lol I am too old to dodge!

@untappedgrowth @Mathew_Winters1 @wilson_dunham_f @beefinitiative @yngfarmpreneur @angrycowboy1 Not looking for a manager. Looking for one or more partners
English
@KimWellsWFF @Mathew_Winters1 @wilson_dunham_f @beefinitiative @yngfarmpreneur @angrycowboy1 A manager should be paid to manage, owners get a split of profits simply for owning..

@agnetic1 @thecarnivorebar @cattleguy92 @beefinitiative @POTUS @elonmusk @GGunthorp @SecRollins So many amazing folks talking farm food and health! When’s a good zoom date?
English
@KimWellsWFF @thecarnivorebar @cattleguy92 @beefinitiative @POTUS @elonmusk @GGunthorp @SecRollins Color me lucky to be on my during this momentous time in human history. I couldn’t think of a group of every day folks I’d rather be adjacent to. Nice work, everybody.

@untappedgrowth @Mathew_Winters1 @wilson_dunham_f @beefinitiative @yngfarmpreneur @angrycowboy1 I guess I don’t know how to answer you. Plus you haven’t shared what ZERO means when you talked about your experience.
English
@KimWellsWFF @Mathew_Winters1 @wilson_dunham_f @beefinitiative @yngfarmpreneur @angrycowboy1 I've been asking you questions for over a week TRYING to understand 🙃
English
Just sharing a bit of feel good!

@KimWellsWFF Sometimes you have to work with where you live. It was not long ago that most people had large gardens and a few chickens in suburban areas.
English
They say folks don’t move to the city to have livestock and gardens! Not sure who they are!

“Why should homeowners have to be sneaky about producing food on their own property?” This is a profound statement, and it really hit me. How absolutely absurd is it that many, many humans are not allowed to produce their own food. While gardening is often permitted, animals are heavily restricted and regulated. The argument that they are dirty is not solid. I have never had mites or infections in my flock or herd. They are clean and healthy. It is all about how you raise them. Our place is not smelly, even our manure piles, because our carbon ratio, from bedding, is right. On the flip side, anyone can use that awful laundry product that makes the whole neighbourhood stink. @ExtropiAna makes another excellent point here. Most people have NO idea how their food is produced, and really would probably feel better about backyard flocks if they ever caught a glimpse of factory farming.

@KimWellsWFF I’m related to about half of the people along Locust Creek from Milan to the MO River. lol

We don’t just bury our heads in the dirt. We read we listen we stay involved. Offers like this don’t come around for a few reasons. Inheritance is the big one. For decades we couldn’t afford to keep our kids in farming so they made their own path

@GrayFeist I used to sell 60-70 head of beef at farmers markets. Had my own butcher shop in kcmo then covid came along. We had also just bought Barnard Processing in 2019. Food doesn’t stop even when shtf
English
@KimWellsWFF A lot of our family land is owned by other extended family now in MO. We grew up in VA so had to start our operation from scratch.
English
@KimWellsWFF We run sheep on 4,000 (soon to be 5,000) acres of solar. Are building a cow herd, do a community pumpkin patch, etc. Not scared of work!
English
@GrayFeist Awesome! Lots of flat ground where you are? Which is what solar farms require. We have foothills rivers creeks and ravines. We have timber meadows and ponds.
