We don't grow much more than we need for ourselves. Any extra quickly gets bought up locally. Maybe someday we will have more lamb than we can sell at Bitcoin meetups and start shipping.
Dinner: Lamb chili with homegrown pickled jalapenos and cornbread.
Feels good to make a meal with our homegrown food and as the years go by it's more and more our own and less and less from somewhere else. Getting rooted in our homestead.

This little lamb has the will to live!
It's up on its feet and moving faster than I can take a good picture. I think we will move it outside soon into a larger enclosure. It's drinking from a bottle now too so no more tube feeding. Not out of the woods yet but so far Bitcoin mining is saving lives.

The blossoms on the ones around here smell great but the fruit is inedible in my opinion. Good for birds I suppose.
Kraut is a staple here, we have one jar left so we are savoring it. More cabbage won't be ready to make more until July.
Good question, I have no idea. Best guess would be that it's too young for fruit.
We tried that. We found that we didn't have enough chickens and couldn't find a way to keep the process efficient enough to be worth doing.
We use our chickens to manage the fly larvae in our hosrse manure in the summer (while turning and composting it for us) and we have them prep gardens at other times of the year.
Katahdin Hair Sheep completed the first grazing loop!
It's been just over a month since the sheep started grazing. The pasture has recovered well, almost a little taller and more mature than ideal. Several paddocks were only grazed for one day or skipped entirely so hopefully this time around they won't be back here for more than 60 days. The longer the pasture can rest the lower the potential parasite load will be upon returning to graze again. There is a balance between returning too soon and letting the pasture go to seed and becoming less palatable for the sheep. Dancing with nature indeed.

It was hard for me to get chickens that size for less than $6/lb but I never tried the Cornish rock cross breed. I definitely see demand for hyper local meat going up over time. Love to see it!
Boost is like a retweet. It rebroadcasts a note to all your followers. A zap is sending sats.
It's the same as a retweet on Twitter essentially. I'm not familiar with many of the clients but on amethyst boosting broadcasts the note to all your followers helping to give the note more reach. This helps spread high signal much more quickly. Unlike centralized platforms that have algos to push content nostr is totally based on users sharing with their personal networks. Boosting is cross pollination.
And what a wonderous frontier it is! Just scratching the surface it seems. Still haven't crossed the river in spring, climbed the mountain pass in winter or traversed to the plains in the heat of summer. Just a enchanting view from a comfortable vantage point. Trying to imagine what's ahead.
If you comment, zap or boost; I'm following you! I think boosting is the best way to get the information out there. Zaps create the incentive for more similar content. Comments are great feedback for improvement and starting a dialogue. A lonely like let's me know you saw it but it wasn't worth zapping. I use likes as a way to acknowledge receipt of a comment in threads as well. It's interesting how the options for interaction are creating a sort of nostr language for me.
Any #plebminers out there looking to offer some mentorship?
It not loud at all because I have it dialed down to 500w. Just a gentle breeze of warm air. (It's a lamb by the way)
I recommend finding a local meetup. There is likely a miner in attendance and I'm willing to bet they have a S9 for you to rent/borrow.
Every farmer a miner. Few understand this.
