Sup Nostr peeps! First, a confession: I am a serial procrastinator, particularly with any sort of web or computer work. Which has proven detrimental to my farm newsletter and other content creati9n activities online... And thus, my journey with utilizing AI to generate content continues. below is this week's newsletter converted to a Nostr post: 🐝 Buzzing Into the Season: Lessons from the Apiary 🌿⚡ Spring is in full swing, and our bees are deep in the hustle—expanding hives, optimizing honey production, and making the most of every nectar flow. This year, we installed five new packages, hoping to bring our hive count to eight. But, just like in homesteading or life, plans don’t always go as expected. Two new hives successfully established—one from a typical package, the other a unique colony merger. ✨ Current Hive Count: 5 active hives 🏡 Homa Hills: Trialing a Demaree split to boost honey production 🌾 Webb Creek: Testing productivity to see if the travel is worth it Bees, like humans, work tirelessly to store and protect their wealth. Their honey is their hard money—produced through effort, stored for the future, and protected from external threats. In the same way, Bitcoin and gold represent human effort crystallized into sound money—scarce, valuable, and independent of manipulation. We’ll see how this season unfolds, just as we watch sound money play out over time. Meanwhile, we’re here in the field—learning, adjusting, and stacking our honey reserves. 🍯⚡ #Beekeeping #HardMoney #Bitcoin #LocalHoney #RegenerativeAg #ProofOfWork #Goldbugs AI drew the hard money corollary for me, what do yall think? I will say AI utilization more emoji-speak than I would lol

🦆 Spring Hustle at Cackleberry Farm and Garden 🌱 Spring is officially in motion, and we’re deep in the season’s hustle! Fresh pasture growth, longer daylight, and plenty of projects in the works mean a busy but rewarding start to the year. 🌾 Pasture Pens in Progress Raising strong, healthy ducklings requires well-built, movable pasture pens that protect from predators, sun, and Wyoming’s unpredictable winds. We’re refining our designs—though a miscalculation means we only need two of five pens for now. More time to perfect the rest! 💦 Sustainability Efforts We're trialing plastic mulch in the garden and working on a greywater system for irrigation—RO filtration is on the horizon. Every step moves us toward greater efficiency and ethical farming practices. 🛒 Market Prep Begins June 14th is our first farmers’ market of the season at The Milkhouse Farmer's Market! Located at 67 S 6th Ave in Mills! Pasture-raised duck will be available—come stock up and taste the difference. Spring brings momentum, abundance, and learning. Thanks for being part of the journey! Follow for updates, and feel free to reach out if you want to chat farming, sustainability, or duck husbandry. 🚜 🔗 #RegenerativeAg #PastureRaised #HomesteadLife #DuckFarming #Sustainability #Cackleberry #grownostr
