Putting this out here now, since I heard @Nunya Bidness bring it up on the BitcoinAnd.... podcast. Prices of everything are going up. The last 3 years inflation has been crazy. My costs have gone up and my prices are going up EXCEPT for the #Nostr community. I haven't raised my prices in 3 years. I will be raising prices on X, and my local markets, but not for Nostr. Stay tuned. image

OK maple 🍁 fans. I will be posting my process where your maple syrup comes from. Final clean by boiling water, and test fire before tapping . Only vinegar to clean stainless pans, and then hot water boil. Tapping next week. @Nunya Bidness @ODELL #bitcoin image

still my favorite beanie for maple season. Will be tapping this week. @BitcoinHatGuy has the best hats. @ODELL when you get the @primal hats made, get a couple beanies and I'll barter some maple syrup. image

Finally got my side bacons, beef bacon, and jowl bacon cured (just salt and maple syrup, no pink salt) and smoked on red oak and hickory. Know where your meat comes from. @Nunya Bidness @RobertKennedyJr 2025, another year to look forward too.

1st post for my 2025 syrup season. I have 14.5 cord of wood ready to go on my outdoor evaporator. (No sugar shack yet) Over Christmas break, I will clean all pans (vinegar and boiling water only) and small repairs on evaporator. @rev.hodl @SweetSats are you getting ready? image

For you dad's out there. Introduce your sons to many things. This teenager plays many sports, works in a cannon foundry, doesn't like a all the stuff I have him do., He has started leaning to leatherwork. Here is his makeshift bench with my wallet he made. (yep it's a maple leaf) you never know @Nunya Bidness @ODELL @Marty Bent #dad's @Leathermint

Well, it is good to hear more from people like @RobertKennedyJr , @MeatMafiaBrett and others, that @modernTman , @Ol_Butch and many country folk have known for a long time. Using a mix of tallow and lard to fry turkey again this year. Peanut or shortening is just not the same. image

Check out the Christmas bonanza giveaway by @CryptoCloaks™. There will be some of my Homemade Ohio Maple Syrup in there, and also my sister Sarah's handmade tallow soap. I got Sarah a mould this year so the soaps are bitcoins in the giveaway. #bitcoin #homestead #circulareconomy image

That time of year in NW Ohio. My small rural school that graduates 25-35 kids each year had drive your tractor to school today. Now if these youngins can find the way to farm how their great grandpa's did it, they can start a transition back to sustainability. @nunyabidness @beefinitiative @ODELL How does the movement start to educate the youth with this much invested in conventional equipment.?

Was going to clean taps, but the mapletrade family getting ready for total eclipse. Supposed to be partly cloudy in Ohio, but it's pretty sunny. Sitting and relaxing and first day for yard games. image

5 a m in Ohio on a Saturday. Pulling taps and gathering buckets to be picked up later. Track meet today so I had to do early work. luckily as a teacher, 28 yrs ago, I got my bus license to help my small rural school, and my kids school hired me to drive the track meets, so I get to watch my 9th and 10th grader boys run and get paid for it. These extra jobs I pick up get turned to sats. #bitcoin #hardwork #grownostr #homesteading image

Today is my last day of maple sap collection for the season. weather broke and trees look ready to bud.. I turn buckets upside-down so small amounts of sap don't drop in and then sour/mold before I collect and clean them. I collected almost 7000 gallons of sap in buckets and bags this year. a bucket will fill in about 8 hours when sap is running. #grownostr #permaculture #circulareconomy #foodstr
