Habitat out loud

The only way to defeat the price problem is to be the middle man and do the work. If you don't do the work, even regular groceries are gonna bankrupt a guy.

Those fermented carrots fit about 1 lb per jar before water. A pound of raw organic carrots at the snooty falooty store (Natural Grocers, ticker: NGVC) is $7 for a 5 pound bag. Buy those ferments at a farmers market, I bet they're $20/jar. I can make them for $1.50/jar, and every component is reusable (lids, jars, etc). I bet there are 6 servings in there. You can't eat, and don't need to eat much to deliver big outcomes with those high power fermented carrots, in both nutrients, probiotics, prebiotics, immunity, mood, digestion and appetite satiation. Let's be generous, 38 cents per serving?

You'll be excited to eat your veggies again, and they're already done. Just pop the jar and grab out a few pieces. I don't enjoy home-crafting like this, so I'm constantly solving for time and other process improvements. I can't wait for my 2-gallon fermenting buckets to get here. I don't want to make one loaf of bread and have to get all that stuff out and then clean up. I'm gonna make 4-8 for the mess. I double the dough batch and divide them into two pans to shorten the prep time.

I grow garlic because it pays $750,000 per acre on my land. I don't sell it, but that's what they charge me if someone else does it. Rutabaga is $4/lb at the snooty falooty. That's too much for me. So I paid $30 for 5 pounds of seed, and I'm mixing them into my plots this year. Peak rutabaga can yield 20 tons/ac. I'm aiming for 10% of that at 2 tons per acre in my system. If i can grow 4 tons on two acres, I can yield $32,000 ($16,000/ac) in rutabaga. I only need to harvest 8 pounds to recoup my investment. I might take 20 and let the deer have the rest.

Maybe I need to start a produce business and sell the unharvested rutabaga to my personal self at $16,000/ac and jack up the basis in my property at $16,000 per plot acre per year in soil improvements, but defer payment, adjust my basis upward and then stiff my produce business on the sale so it's not taxable. Oh man. I’m gonna have unrealized losses on my place in the hundreds of thousands in no time!

Does your balloon ever land? It must be hard to live with all that creativity that goes around in your mind. lol. I miss the stories about kickball Becky and PRS.
 
I came across a financial advisor called "Thistle Wealth Management"...either you've changed professions or your this guys ideal client, one of the two.
 
In the fall, don't forget to grab some of the radishes out of your plots too. They ferment nicely with carrots.
 
You can even ferment the radish greens. There are some good Korean recipes on YouTube. Greens from the garden are loaded with B12, which a lot of people are deficient in.

I ferment my milk as well. I pour my kefir culture into a carton of milk and let it sit on the counter for a day or two. Then I strain it and put it back in the carton.

My niece got a yogurt machine for Christmas that makes the best yogurt I've ever had.
 
I started looking at fermenting jars on Amazon today but didnt know which set to buy.
 
Any food plot veggies around here will be marinated in chronic19 pizz.

Valuation and taxes will go up!

Does that mean that foggy and my taxes in the same county go up or down?

Want to buy more at $16,000 per acre?

;)
 
Henry and I have eaten a couple jars of kimchi now. Got a couple more tonight. My panel of YT doctors really seem to think it's a health food. I searched kimchi on the forum and the only hits are a bunch from @bigboreblr talking about how his rotting tillage radishes remind him of kimchi.

It's dead easy to make, too. It takes a bit of doing, but I always prefer making my own food over purchasing.

The Norwegian government is starting to make it difficult to farm beef. This is in a country where a lot of people are deficient in B12 from eating hot house hydroponic vegetables. I guess I'll be doing another moose hunt in Sweden this October.

This is an interesting post....my neighbors are garlic farmers (here is the link to their farm), and they make a nice living on 2 acres. They have a special needs adult child, and this was their way of being able to care for their child while making a living. I do know that what I see taking place outside is only a small portion of their operation.

On the Kimchi side, when I was in Korea, my hosts took me to storage areas where some kimchi has been in fermenting jars over 100 years. I was able to sample a variety of styles. This was an eye opening experience, as my western perspective was "all kimchi is alike" which would be like someone saying "all ice cream is alike" despite the variety of flavors and forms.
