Yes that's strange because it is working for me on each browser I tested. Maybe just click it again??
From any web browser?
Ok might at least offer a start for opening this up to a wider range of supporters. Thank you for the advice!
Meh, we built out the whole story through Wix...might be a while till we can transition to a completely new platform. No other partial ways to integrate payments?
Circular systems - soil, food, and compost.

Friends!!
We're going live with the whole "farming-as-a-service" idea and I'd love any feedback about our website. Does this make sense? Any errors or ways to improve the message? Any ideas on how to integrate Bitcoin payments on Wix?!

Missed y'all!
Just had to pop in and say helllllllo 🌈🌈🌈
"Rainbows are always significant" I once told a friend 💙🦄
(Got the glasses to match 😍)
Who is John Galt?
The entire premise of Galt's Gulch is essentially this whole concept of "companion planting", where every Producer had a moral responsibility to create and grow a thriving ecosystem that worked together.
Dagny built railroads. Indigenous wisdom teaches us to build life roads, connecting us back to our own inherent nature.
Dagny was a Producer - a giver. That to me is very much the essence of Indigenous wisdom: create abundance. It is our moral responsibility to ourselves, each other, and the Earth.
And I very much resonate with that.

Companion Planting
In Indigenous land wisdom, there are 3 Sister plants that, when grown together, help each other thrive: Corn, Beans, and Squash.
Corn grows strong and tall. Beans twist and wind up long stalks, reaching for the sunlight. And Squash keeps the soil covered, protected and moist.
This is the holistic and integrated approach to planting. Creating a microcosm within a greater ecosystem.
Nature does not work alone. She has made puzzle pieces that fit together to make a whole.
-----------
Our people systems follow the same principles.
We need to thoughtfully plant ourselves with people, partners, teammates who help us grow and thrive.
We tend to our relational Social Soil when we build trust and find the symbiosis that allows us to help one another grow to our fullest potential. Which also requires us prune, weed, water, compost, harvest, and rest our relationships.
Order and harmony are not neat and tidy. In Nature, harmony looks messy but is a deeply complex system that has found equilibrium.
The best thing you could do today is to tend to the garden of you and yours.
Mycelial networks.
Same pattern, whether it's psychology, ecology or economy.

3 years ago we started a food waste collection program at Yellow Barn. I ran around to all the Home Depots and got them to donate 150 buckets to our cause, and there was the start of our first circular system.
The compost program is a micro-business we operate, where our community pays a monthly fee to support us driving out to their home to swap their bucket weekly. Many members sign up for egg subscriptions and order other goods from the Stalk Market, which we then deliver on-route!
The food scraps come back to the farm to feed our pigs (and piglets 😍), or used as a feedstock in our ASP compost pile.
The pigs churn and fertilize the soil, and the finished compost is layered in before planting.
Eventually, all the fruits, veggies, and flowers that grow from that soil can be delivered to our members.
I very much envision a time not too long from now where when our members first sign up for the annual farm membership get half their dues credited back to them in Bitcoin, which they can use at the market, for events, or to tip their farmers.
The farmhands can then be paid in Bitcoin, pay their rent in Bitcoin, and sell their products or crafts to the community and receive Bitcoin. The goal would be to help everyone in our community actually SEE the energy circulate through the ecosystem. And that kind of transparency creates quite a bit of awareness and empowerment for all parties involved in the circularity.
More to come 🐷

Reeeealllly excited cuz today we start the season-long Permaculture Design Course.
Yellow Barn has been one of the host sites for the course over the last three years, and each year I've been too swamped with getting YB up and running to be able to participate.
This is the first year I get to take the course 🤩 the stoke is high. I'll be posting updates here along the way.

Ahhh so this is what Gigi was mentioning on why we should connect. We definitely should, and would love to have you come visit Yellow Barn!
Morning!
Go outside today and put your feet on the ground!
And remind yourself to breathe.
