My daughter is at it again. These cupcakes were delicious. #grownostr #homeschooling #baking #homestead #permaculture

Spent the morning cleaning out the deep litter of my chicken coop, a once a year task. I use biochar in there on a regular basis, so I especially wanted to use a mask. However, it's clear I need to upgrade my mask. #grownostr #chickens #homestead #permaculture

One of nature's great delights, #fir #sap if you've never put a small bit in your mouth and enjoyed the encompassing flavor, you may want to. P.s. it's very sticky. #grownostr #homestead #nature #permaculture

Current work project: this dock is being built to allow a 3HP pump to ve cleaned on a regular monthly basis. #homestead #water #permaculture #grownostr #carpentry

Improvised dinner, batter for French toast but no bread, veggies cheese and leftover quinoa. Then I made a honey muatard marmalade sauce. Hopefully the family likes it! #dinner #food #makedue #kitchensink #permaculture #improv #grownostr #homestead

I had the pleasure of going out for a sail on the Providence, a 120 year old ship here in Canada. The two huge masts were awe inspiring. Such a joy to be on the water with the winds power moving us along. A magical evening. #grownostr #sailing #pirates #permaculture #community #sea #gulfislands homestead

My wife has done a lovely job in the greenhouse. We're just starting to harvest cucumbers. Today I built a faux-floor shelf to move all of our gardening pots onto. Now the space beside the greenhouse is ready for an IBC container. I'm super looking forward to setting up an aquaponics setup with growing space along the back wall of the greenhouse. #grownostr #greenhouse #homestead #self-reliance #diy
