Hello, Nostr friends!

We just put down a deposit on a half cow with a local, family-owned regenerative farm. I think they're still at the early stages of some good stuff that we're learning about here on the homestead (silvopasture, tree hay, soil biology, etc), but they're on the right track and it feels great to support them.

Between their beef (this is our second order), pork from a friend's farm, raw milk from a local dairy, and our own eggs, ducks and rabbits, we probably get at least 80% of our calories from within a very small radius and from folks who are literally regenerating the land in the way that they raise their livestock.

So far only the pork is paid for with bitcoin, but we'll work on that!

#climate, #carbonfootprint: regenerative ag means carbon sequestration, improved soil, better water retention

#eco : there's much more wildlife when food is raised this way

and even #animalwelfare: eating this way means that far fewer animals are killed than in - say - growing grains and legumes
