Planning to seed our food distribution company, the Stalk Market, with #Bitcoin. This is the new-world stock market, where the stocks are stalks and the coin is corn. We put together the one-pager to help the local producers get on board with "farming-as-service" (FaaS) and donate their veg/meat and just take a service fee for stewarding the land and soil. Change the whole mindset on why and how we manage animals and plant seeds. Next step is getting them on the #Bitcoin train, one farmer at a time. #sovereignty #farmstr #community #FaaS #nostr #foodstr #regenag #foodforest #economics #socialdesign #corn image

We came up with a realization today: taxing food is a tax on living things. Farming, distribution, and retail is human labor, all the way through, and a "product" is simply a word to disassociate us from the "liveness" of what was once a seed, plant, or animal. So we don't sell products anymore. You get your veggies, meat or eggs for free. And you just pay a service fee for tending the land, remediating the soil, and caring for the animals. #foodfreedom #farmstr #regenag #community #farming #foodstr #strengthinnumbers #bitcoin #lettherevolutionbegin #braidingsweetgrass image

Over the last few years, most of the work I've done has been helping small businesses get up and running. And in that experience its become clear that a business is an ecosystem. It is a living breathing organism. So we mapped our organizational structure to mimic nature. A model of dynamic hierarchy. Someone who is a Lead (or a Tree, as we call them) takes responsibility for a task/project/domain, and the Core Team (Seedlings, Sprouts, and Saplings) support that role - and in reciprocity, the Tree provides guidance, accountability, and sets the example for how to Tree. We're all just Seedlings figure out what it means to be a Tree. No one is better than another and we all need each other to thrive. #nature #geometry #regenag #agroforestry #people #community #socialsoil #yellowbarn #farmstr #permaculture #newworld #Bitcoin

Farming is hard af. And trying ro run a profitable business while not being extractive from the land (and yourself) is even harder. We've been learning over the last three years that diversifying our activities allows the farm to stay financially stable - farming for production, animals, events, rental spaces for tenants and businesses, education, and a marketplace. Yellow Barn has kind of become a small business incubator. If all the businesses can leverage a shared space, a wide pool of people and skills, mentorship, AND we can all just pay each other, then you're really creating some efficiency and keeping money in a closed-loop system. My favorite permaculture principle is "stacking functions" (i.e having the compost pickup route a lso be a food delivery route AND having the food waste be pig food, etc). So the metric we most value is "how many times can we get a dollar (soon to be sats) to circulate through the ecosystem before it has to exit?" #yellowbarn #farmstr #foodstr #bizdev #circularity #pigstr #nature #Bitcoin #community #regenag #regeneconomics #newworld #agroforestry #permaculture image

Alright I feel like this is the place I get to geek out on geometry for real. I'm sure this crowd in particular has seen images of geometry in Nature. The Fibonacci sequence is a regular occurance as the basic building blocks of life. So I got curious. What about people? And I started analyzing how people coalesce into pairs, pods, teams, and even movements. And I think I see I pattern.... #geometry #people #community #farmstr #nature #Bitcoin #patterns #business #tobecontinued image
