My name is Moon Pie and today I avoided my monthly shot by creating a diversion and then escaped into the garden to eat strawberry leaves. I am pleased. My Mom is less so.

Today my compost extract was so beautiful I cried a little. Guess this is what loving what you do looks like.

I’ve written several letters to Marsha Blackburn concerning her legislature and how it hurts those most vulnerable in our community. Every letter I have written has received a boiler plate reply about a completely different topic.

The boyz don’t get much closer than this. They don’t like to snuggle. Whenever they sit “close” like this we presume this is the quorum and important camelid business must be going on.

You know what the best part of my case study between traditional and biological amendments is? It’s pulling up to the local good ole boys store, loading my hybrid up with 800lbs of chemicals I hate, and tearing out blasting Alanis Morisette - Thank you disillusionment!

Can you tell we are like DOING sh*t lately?

Big announcements coming next week, but in the meantime we are cranking on tests to apply biological amendments to lawns and pastures with light weight UTVs. Watch out Chattanooga, we are coming to fix ALL your soil.

When we started extracting this morning our playlist chose Centerfield by John Fogerty. How appropriate. 🎶 Put me in coach, I’m ready to play today 🎶

Strawberries waking up. We planted these last July, with microbe rich compost. We were impressed they made it through the drought, especially when we planted them so late. We had strawberries through Thanksgiving! We love proof of how amazing biology is 💕
