🌱 Kid focused mystery boxes filled with real learning. No screens required.

Kids taught themselves all about reptiles through a genuine curiosity and desire to learn. They researched about what would be the best breed of snake for them, their habitat, diet, and home. They create little structures for her tank instead of buying them. All self taught AND remembered then put to use. All on their own. All under 10. The snake is still alive and thriving a year later. Love this style of #education they’re getting!

I love that you want to teach how to start conversations with people you want to learn from. That’s definitely a goal we have for our kids as well

Lateral Thinking Puzzles have been a fun addition to start off our mornings.

I’d love to help you out! I think it’s been one of our best choices. What is your style of homeschooling going to look like?

#Homeschooling allows my kids to sleep the appropriate amount of time, eat high quality foods for all of their meals, and time to be curious and creative during and outside of ā€œschoolā€. I’m sure you’ve seen similar posts by way too many people, but it’s because the impact of homeschooling is truly remarkable.

At our holiday parties we noticed our kids were confidently engaged with conversations, listening, and asking thoughtful questions. I’m really proud of what I’m observing and hoping we’re doing it right. It feels right for our family

If you have questions or want to get started with homeschooling please reach out. I have quite a few years of experience I would love to share!

Tattoo markers and a pedicure in ice cold water, not bad for a Sunday! Best part is that this salon is free šŸ’•

Homeschooling in December has been so nice. Slowing it down, taking time for slow starts and not feeling the rush to check so many things off the list. Kids are still learning just as much - not sure why this is only a ā€œDecemberā€ thing.

Feeling more free already!

getting ready for the #bullishmarket

We put our homemade bone broth in jars today and I’m thinking we need to make more to give as gifts for the holidays.

Can you tell me more about her. Age, personality, etc?

Dear Acme Acres Community,

This week on the ranch was one long reminder of why we do things the hard way.

It would be easier to cut corners. Use what’s legal. Push animals faster. Rely on one processor and hope nothing breaks. Plenty of folks do.

That’s never been the point here.

We don’t use vaccines, GMOs, hormones or antibiotics because the way we raise animals doesn’t require them. Our cattle, pigs, sheep, and chickens live outside, on grass, with room to move and low stress.

Healthy conditions create healthy animals. It really is that simple.

A lot of folks ask what happens when processors shut down or get backed up. You’ve seen it in the news. Plants close. Timelines explode. Food gets harder to find.

We don’t wait around.

Right now we work with multiple processors across Idaho and Washington. It means more miles, more coordination, and more hustle. But it also means we keep delivering when others can’t.

That mindset carries into everything we do.

It’s why whole beef orders come with a freezer. Space is usually the real obstacle, not price. I still buy freezers at wholesale, so I use that to remove friction. If you don’t need it, we take it off the price. Simple.

It’s also why we accept Bitcoin, gold, silver, and trades. Food is foundational. People have different ways of storing value. We’re happy to meet you where you are.

On the food side, we’ve had more positive feedback lately than ever — especially on the beef. Finishing on grass through Idaho winters isn’t fast or cheap. Some months we gain. Some months we hold.

We don’t rush it.

Our Longhorn–Charolais crosses are doing exactly what we hoped: hardy, efficient on grass, and producing beef people keep calling us back about.

We’re also keeping sausage bundles available, fresh pork sausage — clean, simple, and made from animals raised the same way as everything else here. If you want something specific, ask. If it makes sense, we’ll figure it out.

One thing worth saying out loud: buying bulk meat takes planning. This isn’t grocery-store logistics. If you’re halfway through your freezer, it’s probably time to think about the next order.

Good food takes time.

If you’ve got questions, call or text me directly. I’d rather talk than sell.

Thanks for supporting a ranch that’s building something durable — for us, and for the community around us.

Warm regards,

Jason & Melanie

Excited to look into the Robinson Curriculum

As part of our #homeschool and #mysterysprouts curriculum (growing/drying our tea flowers) - we are excited to announce our Bitcoin Gold Turmeric Tea will soon be available!!

Our young daughter asked to start a tea business last year and we’re excited to be at a point where she can sell. All organic and can be purchased with #Bitcoin so she’s off to the right start. Excited for her - follow along for her big release!

Would love to hear any ideas you loved when you homeschooled!

Would love to have this meal on my plate tonight. Take us back!

My kids are learning they can just do things. Kinda like you can with #Bitcoin

Whatever they have an interest in, we pursue it.

Today our egg shell geodes finished (because we don’t have a million years to make real ones). Also, we had a ton of almonds so they made almond butter from scratch - no where near nostr:nprofile1qqswp94gnm4epqsgjkndl4lnd8krzdj5u4mzuppdtxksdymkty63g7gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9nhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvsdxmyd4 level but still good.

#homeschool and #bitcoin - you can just do things. Finding they go hand in hand

When we decided to homeschool I never would have thought it would allow my kids the opportunities they have had in the past three years.

They could have just been sitting in a desk with white cinder block walls and fluorescent lights learning about Central America - instead they were able to experience it in real life. We ALL learned so much about the amazing culture, microclimates, animals, flora and fauna, food, genuine kind people. The list could go on forever. It was amazing. Another #homeschool for the win moment.

Traveling the world, letting our children experience different cultures, people, and seeing life through different perspectives. It’s a huge benefit to homeschooling and I’m sitting here so grateful to be able to give/have these real world experiences.

Gave a 6 year old some paper, paint brushes, water color, and unlimited time. What I’m most impressed with was his focus because he had the autonomy over the outcome.

Of course kids need guidance, healthy examples, structure, etc … but without allowing autonomy, kids are never going to develop confidence, time to explore their interest, critical, thinking skills and so much more.

#homeschooling #autonomy

That’s great! We always look forward to the native plant sales they have around us in the spring! I bet your kids have so many authentic learning opportunities through your business :)

It’s the season to support #smallbusinesses and to make it better, we’re running a Black Friday sale!!!
