What’s the first word that comes to mind when you see this?

My first time doing tile; pretty happy with the result.

My favorite part about building a house is the accumulation of proof of work as the build progresses. Satisfaction beyond measure at this point.

One of my favorite things about homesteading or just having a large plot of land to work on everyday besides all that it provides is the ungodly amount of food I can consume without gaining any weight. 16 cucumbers salad with a whole block of feta and other things. This is my in between meals snack for today and tomorrow.

Hey Nostr, I got a couple of mice that decided to occupy the attic for the last few days. I put out several sticky mouse trays and angled a couple but last nite there was still some pitter patter of little feet. Tonite I am adding a work light attached to a rafter.

Any other recommendations work for you?

Back to the fiat mine after a weekend away. Got my coffee but still not ready for the day.

Preparing for a big day ☀️

I've had this business idea for a few years now and I'd like to get serious about it.

It has the potential to have multiple streams of income, because the operations complement each other very nicely.

The elevator pitch sounds something like this:

"We turn restaurant food waste into value by raising pasture-raised chickens on a natural diet of black soldier fly larvae. This sustainable approach not only reduces waste but also produces high-quality eggs, meat, and organic fertilizer."

Problems solved:

1. Sell high quality eggs from pasture-raised chickens that aren't fed fiat food.

2. Reduce the amount of food waste that ends up in landfills, which releases methane, thereby reducing methane

emissions.

3. Turn a waste product into 2 valuable commodities, which are larvae that can be fed to chickens and nutrient-rich organic fertilizer for plants.

The thought process:

Basically, we can't eat waste food, and chickens shouldn't be fed that either.

But black soldier fly larvae can. We can't or shouldn't eat bugs, but chickens do and should, and they're a perfect supplement food for them.

We can and should eat eggs and chicken meat, especially from pasture-raised chickens.

The nutrient-rich organic fertilizer, which is a byproduct of the larvae consuming the waste food, is perfect for helping restore the land where the chickens graze.

Revenue streams from selling

1. Premium eggs

2. Nutrient-rich organic fertilizer

3. Chicken meat (spent hens) for human or animal consumption.

This is an outline of my vision. Hopefully I did a good job in communicating that.

Would like to do this in Greece, by the way, where I plan to move in the near future, as I have family and connections there.

If you have any feedback or would like to start something similar, feel free to comment below and let's chat.

Are you using black soldier fly larvae to recycle waste food and feed the mature larvae to your chickens?

Nature walk at a local Nature Reserve. We were there for about 45 minutes some of that was skipping rocks at the creek. So I’m going to count 30 minutes for #31days. Let’s see if I can work in some more before the day is done. Fun to gear up the kids to reinforce the basics of preparation.
