Our farm can be broken down into two businesses:

1) An operating business that sells soil juice (will describe in another post), mulch and duck products

2) A treasury management business that accumulates, protects and borrows against our bitcoin

Our operating business is profitable (revenue > expenses) and our monthly profits are sent to our multisig cold storage vault for safe keeping

We are short dollars and long bitcoin. Said another way, we pay our expenses in a depreciating currency and we save in hard money

Thanks for the education and inspiration @jack mallers @petermccormack

21st century farming is regenerative, profitable and powered by #Bitcoin

I’m Deus

I’m 25% German shepherd,

25% Husky

50% Samoyed

I vow to protect our family farm

To be guardian of the flock

To patrol our land daily

To defend against invaders

To be a valuable family member and to act as a great ambassador/mascot of Caribou Farms

I spend my zaps on upgrades to my forest home and on dehydrated rabbit ears

Thanks for supporting our family farm

Thank you Satoshi

Great question. Different framing: how much value should we give to the world? To me, it’s the same question

Answer: as much as we can while maintaining good health and a good life

Duck eggs >> Chicken eggs

Reasons:

- Duck eggs are 50-100% larger than average chicken eggs

- Duck eggs are more nutrient dense (higher in vitamin and mineral content)

- They’re creamier and richer (better for baking pastries)

- Higher yolk:white ratio which means they contain more fat

- Contain more protein

- Stay fresh for longer

🦆

On all counts, duck eggs are a superior egg to chicken eggs

That said, ducks do require more space. Our ducks are forest foragers and have a super varied diet of bugs, slugs, worms, and greens we grow for them on our land

Our family (2 adults, 1 baby) eats ducks eggs for breakfast every morning. Two per adult, one per baby

Simple to prepare in a variety of ways, dense form of nutrients and energy for the day, and even at $2 per egg, $10 per breakfast, are very affordable

DM us to get A+ duck eggs delivered weekly (local only)

A message to all farmers:

Stop accepting easy money for your hard work

You spend your scarce days working the land with the goal of producing more than you consume

You spend your scarce life energy working with the land to produce products that you can then sell to customers who value the fruits of your labour

Don’t trade your goods for easy money that can be created out of nothing

Don’t trade your valuable harvest for worthless currency

Don’t store your savings in a melting currency held by a bank that acts as your master

Transition to a #Bitcoin standard

Save your excess energy in hard money that YOU control and that can’t be inflated away to worthlessness

Accept sats as a payment method

🌱

21st century farming is a paradigm shift

Regenerate your soil, build on #Bitcoin, be the change you want to see

#nostr #farming #health

Agreed. #Bitcoin is a movement of self responsibility 👊🏽

More of those will come lol. Will post one right meow

Bitcoin is a shield

It protects our time

It protects our attention

It protects our energy

—

In the age of inflation caused by easy money, protecting our time is critical

In the age of distraction caused by algorithms that profit from our attention, focus is critical

Wielding the #Bitcoin shield is a choice

Anyone can choose to adopt it and begin protecting themselves

Thank you Satoshi 🫶🏽

Fieldstone masonry

The OG construction for barn foundations was fieldstone masonry

Our family is planning to begin our barn build in 2025

We’re starting with a low time preference fieldstone foundation which includes a giga sized fireplace built into a foundation wall that will serve as primary heat source for the barn

We will build it slow and build it well

The barn will last hundreds of years and will be the heart and soul of our farm for future generations

A monument to low time preference building techniques made possible on a #Bitcoin standard

Health is simple

Eat seasonal, local food grown naturally

Get deep, restful sleep

Go for a walk everyday

Get outside in nature everyday

Get morning sun into your eyeballs

Wear natural shoes

Spend less time in chairs

Protect yourself from algorithm hijack (use nostr instead of X, IG, TikTok)

Nurture and prioritize high quality in person relationships

Save your time in #Bitcoin

Create more than you consume

Spend time alone

Health is a process, not a destination

Focus on 1% better everyday

Farm thoughts_859884

We must create more than we consume. This is a moral imperative to create value for the world and a financial imperative to run a profitable farm

We must work with nature to unlock her abundance. Always observe and listen before acting

We must never work against nature by using chemicals to combat weeds or insects. The weeds and insects are our allies on the farm and serve important roles

Everything is a feedback loop. Think beyond first order effects and curiously inquire about the 2nd, 3rd and 4th order effects of our actions

We must learn FROM nature, not simply ABOUT nature. She is the master of efficient and elegant ecological systems. We have much to learn

We must harvest animals with reverence. That means killing them swiftly and painlessly, wasting nothing and giving back to our land to thank great mother for her abundance

We must save our excess in bitcoin and starve the dark fiat forces of energy

We must nurture our local community, give to those who have less, and educate our customers about the value of permissionless P2P commerce

We must run a node on our farm so we can validate the ledger

We must design multisignature cold storage vaults to secure our keys with redundancy while eliminating single points of failure

We are 21st century farmers

We must defend our family and our land from any who wish to inflict harm or steal from us

We regenerate the land and save our time in hard money
