cw: parasites

Tapeworms, actually. Down with the meat measles!

No, really, tapeworm cysts in livestock are *also* called measles. We really like calling "spotty" diseases measles!

There are so many things to be thankful for in our little valley. Alluvial soils and wildlife are two.

Fence post holes that cross old creek beds and 1.75m kangaroo exclusion fences are not two tho!

That pile is from one 900mm deep hole! 100kg of concrete to fill it back in. #SmallFarms #FarmLife

Douro growers warn this year’s harvest may go unsold
Reduced Port wine allocations leave small farms with lower-priced grapes, pushing some toward losses or abandonment.

🌱 Small farms don’t just need land and customers.
They need cold storage, transportation, packing space, distribution, and market access.
When every farm has to build those systems alone, the math gets hard
Shared infrastructure can change that.
That’s the idea behind The Hub.

Small farms survive because they diversify.
In Maine, a dry year can wipe out one crop while another thrives, that balance is what keeps homesteads going. A reminder that resilience in farming comes from adapting, not controlling nature.

Small #farmer perspective on #bailouts. Her up front info is useful. This reminds me of the bank bailouts. #Redrivervalley #smallfarms

Exactly! They don’t even offer anything to help #SmallFarms or family operations. We will unfortunately be adding many more, so stay tuned!

And if you want reasonably priced eggs, check out your local food co-op. Might be the first step to supporting your local food economy ☀️🌱

Buy your eggs from local chicken farmers- they're keeping an eye on their birds, they're keeping them safe, they'll know if something's wrong. It's easier to get a read on sellers when you can talk to them in person, too. #buylocal #smallfarms #chickenfarmers

does anyone have any insights on how we can support small farmers right now? So far just looking for mutual aid funds, and trying to shop as much as possible at my local farmers market… #supportfarmers #smallfarms #agriculture #resist
