We Are Tekel

@longstoryfarms Love this... Can't wait to stop by and check it out

The store is striking a chord with the locals. I heard yesterday that it was “what we needed, and a little more” and then someone said it “was what we needed but didn’t know we needed it”. People crave authenticity is my take away. A brick and mortar store where they can touch the product, select from what is essentially a curated selection of the most local, most sustainably raised and/or highest quality products we could find. Priced moderately compared to the big city, more expensive than the large chain stores, but not extravagant.

@goneers 100%

Time to grow our own food again.

On it. We just launched Tekel a few weeks ago. Iterating now towards a true product-market fit - closer everyday. Then a national marketing push. Would love any feedback you're willing to offer... Happy to discuss more if you'd like. I have a lot to say on the topic. Dm me anytime

Less AI slop "health score" apps More local farm finder apps

@AlisaVarney Awesome... Did you happen to have a lot of ladybugs around them? That would explain it

Not sure how it happened, but this year’s crop of artichokes were aphid free.

@WallStreetApes This is not cool... Tekel is a mobile app that is a 24/7 farmer's market. We've built in several measures to drive quality and trust so situations like this can be a avoided

Farmers market caught putting grocery store strawberries into new containers and selling them “I literally saw that lady at my local farmers market pour Driscoll's non-organic strawberries into those little cardboard boxes and then she put them all out on the shelf for sale — I saw so many empty Driscoll's non-organic strawberry boxes all where she took them out to pour them into her little cardboard boxes” This is always my fear with farmers markets. I’ve seen commercial boxes at these places and it’s always is eye opening But there’s something I learned you can look out for Some Farmer's Markets are "producer only", meaning that the farmers market organizers will visit vendors farm and they will make them show where they grow or make anything they want to sell at the market This type of market is your best bet

@alex_fasulo Takes a lot of courage... This is a win. There are things more valuable than money

Thank you to every landowner in New York State saying no one-sided contracts with foreign solar companies that would destroy the land forever. Our state has failed our farmers and taxed the hard-working citizens into oblivion. But these solar/wind contracts are not what they seem. The companies lie. Decommissioning will fall on the landowner. The land will never be farmed again. And surrounding property values will plummet. It’s screwing everyone else around you over in the most hideous way. It’s ripping rural towns apart and pitting brother v. brother. How about instead of NY and @KathyHochul taking money from our electric bills to court foreign solar developers, that money go towards supporting our state’s farmers instead?

@primal_buddha @idahobeef Exactly right. Stay tuned

@WeAreTekel @idahobeef Fiat food

"Up to 7% retained water" on your chicken label means you're paying for water weight, not meat. That water is from a chemical chill bath after slaughter. The EU banned US chicken since 1997 over it. We just accepted it. We skip the whole pipeline. No chemical baths. No retained water. Chicken raised the way your grandparents ate it — before industrial processing took over. @BlackbirdCoop @beefinitiative

@epicgardening Awesome.

GARLIC HARVEST - Garlic is ready about six months after planting, when green leaves turn crispy brown from the bottom up.

@idahobeef Exactly. Paying more $ for less quality. Know your farmer and your food source

@WeAreTekel Especially the price for the bad stuff that’s not even healthy natural chicken. Double scam!!

@townhomesteader This is a strong approach. Love your priorities

The older I get, the more I value things that actually matter. Growing food. Cooking from scratch. Learning how to fix, build, preserve, and make things for my family. There’s a point where constant outrage, negative headlines, and endless political fighting stop informing you and just start draining you. Most of us were never meant to absorb that level of noise all day long. I’d rather put more of my energy into things that actually improve my life and the lives of the people around me. Family. Community. Useful skills. A backyard garden. A shared meal. Conversations with neighbors instead of arguments with strangers online. That doesn’t mean ignoring problems or pretending corruption doesn’t exist. I'm just refusing to let fear, division, and constant internet distractions consume my life. 💚

@Smoke6464 This. Without reservation. And unapologetically

Just live your fuckin life.

@LittlePineCO You're on it... Something big is happening

Reprogram reality by spending differently. Use methods and tools other than dollars for a force multiplier effect.

@RosieP4 God bless the informed land owner... Knowledge is powerful. Never give an inch

Today contractors from National Grid turned up at this farm ready to clear all of this vegetation, including the four oaks, without the required dawn bird survey. It is only because the land owner was on his toes and challenged them that they left. Plus National Grid has not explained why it is ‘not practicable’ to uphold their DCO obligation to avoid nesting season. They were not even able to explain why the oaks need to be felled for a bell mouth when they do not cause visibility issues. This is a horrific disregard for nature. (This is Bramford to Twinstead, ‘only’ 30km long. Imagine the destruction if Norwich to Tilbury at 180km goes ahead as proposed. We seek underground HVDC laid by cable ploughs for N2T)

@BornTo_BeFree Prosperity summarized... Love this

These are the goals. Clean food. Clean water. Clean living. Strong body. Quiet mind. Loyal family. A place to build. A legacy to leave behind. Working with nature. Star gazing. Bitcoin in cold storage. No debt. No dependence. Peace & Purpose. And the freedom to live as nature intended. This is true wealth. Everything else is psyop.

@heirloomgrown Awesome.

You can just grow tomatoes in a can.

@TiffaniMarie483 Agreed. 100% Corporate capture is what happened. Local food systems are the solution.

I feel like store-bought produce has gone way down in quality in the last 5 years. The lettuce is wilted and small, tomatoes are flavorless, celery floppy, and the fruit is often moldy. What happened?!

@ExtropiAna Incredible.

The Seller and the Realtor didn’t know the difference between a marsh mat and solid ground. But we did! Five years and a lakefront later…Same view. Hard work pays off. Happy Friday 😊

Love the work you're doing. Keep fighting the good fight- for the right reasons- the truth will always prevail. I may have an approach in mind to implement a solution- to get out in front of some of the foreign interests and preserve legacy farms. Dm me if interested in discussing

Long before I knew what the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) was, I agreed to go to a town hearing where my farm resides and speak about pollinators and what I was doing for them at my farm. Along the way, I learned that nearly every hayfield, small farm, and "open space" owner near my farm had been approached, on average, 4-6 times to lease their land to solar companies. We are witnessing a disturbing decline in pollinators countrywide, yes from pesticides, but also from habitat loss. They are losing the land, soils, and host plants they need to survive. When I realized the land around my farm could turn into a solar complex, I knew I needed to learn more about what was happening. I went to this meeting in my town to speak in support of a Solar Facilities Law. A man around my age was there as well, dispatched out of Santa Monica, California to speak out against our law. This was a very small Town Board meeting that, maybe, 8 people were at. What on EARTH was a man from California doing in my little town? When he approached me in the parking lot after the meeting to try and tell me why I was wrong (he picked the wrong person to do this to lol), I will never forget what he said to me. "We are pursuing farmland and open space for the panels because it comes with the least amount of impediments," he said. He told me the companies can make more money at scale by using land that's already cleared. He also told me it's easier to "ram their agenda through small town boards" than it was to take it to city councils. Not ONCE did he mention the environment, the wildlife, the people of our towns, our history or culture, or lowering our electric bills. The entire "solar" concept was one of money. He didn't even deny it to me. That's what caught my attention. I'd like to think it would catch anyone else's attention, too. The largest wealth transfer of our lifetimes is happening right before our very eyes. Generational farmland that's been stewarded by American citizens since the Revolutionary War is changing hands to foreign solar and wind corporations. That was always the plan.

@JessicaDoyle Nice to (pseudo) meet you Jessica. Right on

Hi, I’m Jessica from New Brunswick, part of the Maritime provinces in Eastern Canada. I grow a garden every year, and this picture is from a few years ago of one particularly bountiful harvest. Just look at the size of those parsnips in the foreground that I grew compared to the cabbages. Along with garden pictures, I share adventures in foraging, canning, preserving food, and nature photos from life along the Bay of Fundy, which has the highest tides in the world. I’m an illustrator and seamstress who grew up in the industrial city of Saint John. My coloring books were recently published and are available on Amazon at amazon.com/author/MispecM…, and my art is listed at MispecMama.com. I’m also sober, having quit hard drugs almost 21 years ago and alcohol 14 years ago. I’m rather lucky to be alive, truth be told. Thank you, God. I live in an old 19th century homestead in a rural area with my man, two daughters, and three cats just outside the city. Nice to meet you all!
