This is the way! There should be as many events like this as Bitcoin meetups!!
Not yet, I picked some from this bush last year but it got moldy in the fridge before I could use it. I'm actually about to pick it right now and dehydrate some so I can at least try cider that way. Have you used it? If so, any recommendations on something to try?
This is how to build resilience in your wealth by diversifying into the 8 forms of capital.
By spending time producing ones own food many forms of capital are accurued simultaneously. Grazing sheep, produces meat, builds soil, enhances ones vitality. Working land forces a rootedness and connection to the seasons which builds spiritual capital in my opinion. While economically its starting to make more and more sense, growing food is worth multiples more than the dollar value of the produce the 8 forms of capital are taken into consideration.

Lolz at all the typos. Trying to type and work...
Surrounding yourself with a community that can provide the services you need using a Bitcoin circular economy. I’m getting my power from nostr:npub12r0yjt8723ey2r035qtklhmdj90f0j6an7xnan8005jl7z5gw80qat9qrx and my meat from nostr:npub1g3827ewz6d23rlgdhkaslc78gyule52ymcqdyt2hsxdwtlw8dt5q7dfpvg
Vegetables from nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z etc
My finding other bitcoiners and spending your Bitcoin with the now, the utility of the Bitcoin you own will increase drastically in tough situations. Best way I've found to do this is to attend as many meetups regionally as possible. Participate by offering up some form of capital that those groups might be lacking. Material, living, intellectual, cultural ect
Most around here are unpalatable at best. This one is fantastic. I hope I can propagate it and grow from it's seed.
Ended up with about 60lbs of mutton from the fence jumping ewe
Out equipment is limited for letting a carcass rest in warm weather so we typically get to butchering fairly quickly. The timing didn't work out for us to spend time butchering the finer cuts and we ended steaks, chops and roasts. My favorite way to make mutton is to crock pot a shoulder with Italian seasonings and make pulled Italian mutton (beef) sandwiches.

Prolific and delicious wild autumn olive worthy of propagation
Autumn olive is a nitrogen fixing shrub with small edible berries. It's considered a weed for the most part but our sheep love to eat it. Most of the time the berries are small, astringent and sour. Lots of seed not much fruit. I've been tasting all the autumn olive over the years as it appears here on the homestead and never found any worth harvesting. Last season I found this autumn olive shrub loaded with large, sweet, mildly astringent berries. I tried to harvest some and plant the seed without any success. Thankfully this shrub is still prolific and as sweet as ever. I look forward to harvesting all I can as it fully ripens over the next week or so. I will dehydrate some and plant some.

Yeah they are good. We ate them for breakfast with yogurt mostly. I sent the seeds out from these fruits to a friend in Texas.
These are some of the best I got last year off the trees here at the homestead.
If I find any it would be around October. If you are close to Chicago we could meet at the Chicago bitdevs and I could bring you some seedling pawpaw trees in the spring too.
Where are you at? I can send you some seeds if I get any pawpaw's this season.
They are Katahdin hair sheep, we are slowly breeding into registered stock. Next season will be the first one where many of the lambs will be registerable. We also have a couple east Friesian dairy ewes and a ram which we have experimented with crossing the Katahdins. Vast majority are hair sheep though.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the cross ends up like too. The white widow is one of the largest plants in the garden this year.
Probably going to do steaks, roasts and chops. Some stew meat. Maybe I'll break out the meat grinder and grind up a bunch... Not totally sure how I will butcher yet.
Never fun to cull an animal but sometimes for one reason or another they need to go.
We pickle all the skins and are saving them for some time when I'll be able to do something with them. For now we just preserve and save the skins.

Learn how to build sovereignty and resilience with permaculture. Join me as I detail the permaculture ethics and principles, exemplify diversifying wealth with the 8 forms of capital. Eat a homestead grown lunch with like-minded bitcoiners then I'll show you all our permaculture systems with an in depth tour of the 20acres. 250k sats locks in your seat at the class. Limited to 21 tickets. Lodging and camping available.
Check out the note below for more details and dm me with any questions.
Shout out to nostr:npub1l6eva7lqf7fn79w6pqp5x64x9ja2emapevp67yn4hxkdz6s5yvxs3tdl44 for putting together the fantastic video! Take a moment to shoot him a zap!!
nostr:npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd asked all the right questions to allow me to unpack what permaculture is through my perspective and experience after 8 years of homesteading. Listen in as we drill down to the idea of permaculture at its foundation.

Interview With Rev.Hodl Ep787
This was actually the first lamb born on the homestead. It is made entirely of the sunshine we captured and soil we cultivated.
It's true, animals create culture just like people and once the cultural capital of fence disrespecting is in the flock it's very hard to remove.
The fence jumping problem is the meat shortage solution
This ewe was notorious for jumping fences and getting progressively more bold. We needed to remove her from the flock before all the other sheep learned from her. We also usually harvest a large lamb around this time of the year to bridge the gap until we harvest the rest of the lambs in the fall. Managed to solve two problems at once, all while building experienicial capital. Even though I've been raising sheep for several years I've slaughtered less than a dozen myself. It's always good to be reminded the craft of slaughtering and butchering your own meat requires lots of practice before it feels easy.
