I used to think hills were charming. Then I tried carrying 50 gallons of water uphill. Now I think they’re God’s way of saying, 'Get a UTV or die trying.' #WestVirginia#RegenerativeAgriculture #soilhealth #communitysupportedagriculture #smallfarmlife #localfood #farmtotable #wv #NerdyPeoplePrepping

Told my wife she looked good today. She said, “So does the loader bucket I just leveled.” I’ve been replaced. #aghumor #communitysupportedagriculture #smallfarmlife #localfood #farmtotable #wv #NerdyPeoplePrepping #foodforest
Windbreaks and buffers aren’t extras. They’re infrastructure. Soil-saving, bird-nesting, shade-giving infrastructure. #agroforestry #RegenerativeAgriculture #soilhealth #communitysupportedagriculture #smallfarmlife #localfood #farmtotable #wv #NerdyPeoplePrepping #foodforest
My orchard’s trees grow pretty solid nuts — maybe they’d run for congress better than the folks we elected. #aghumor #RegenerativeAgriculture #soilhealth #communitysupportedagriculture #smallfarmlife #localfood #farmtotable #wv #NerdyPeoplePrepping #foodforest
They said plant corn. I said plant a legacy. Chestnut won.#RegenerativeAgriculture #soilhealth #communitysupportedagriculture #smallfarmlife #localfood #farmtotable #wv #NerdyPeoplePrepping #foodforest

Riparian zones are where land learns to listen. And if we’re smart, we follow its lead. #regenerativeagriculture #RegenerativeAgriculture #soilhealth #communitysupportedagriculture #smallfarmlife #localfood #farmtotable #wv #applachia #applachian #NerdyPeoplePrepping
I was not intending for this recent Flashflood supply of OJ to be a replacement for repercussions from the US trade war but rather an addition to the camping staples for future adventures, but the timing sure is eerie
#NerdyPeoplePrepping #FreezeDrying
Thermal cup of vegetable stew
With the cold blast of Arctic air hitting us this week, cracking out this jar of homemade free-dried winter vegetable stew I made massive amounts of last February is hitting the spot right now
#NerdyPeoplePrepping
Supper tonight was taco soup w food I dehydrated! Frozen corn & pepper/onion mix went straight in; the mushrooms were dried fresh so I rehydrated w veggie stock & sauteed a few minutes. DELICIOUS!
If you have a dehydrator & low spoons, look into drying frozen veg!
#nerdypeopleprepping #spoonie
Ok who has favorite veggies to dehydrate, and how do you use them? I need more ideas.
#nerdypeopleprepping
Four glass jars sit on a counter filled with dried corn kernels, dried pepper and onion mix, and dried mushrooms
This week in dehydrating, all new to me: frozen corn, frozen tricolor pepper & onion mix, fresh white mushrooms.

Pneumonia is what's up. Hopefully starting to come out the other side! Last night was the first night I didn't wake up choking and needing the inhaler. Baby steps! I can't wait to start posting the cool nerdy homesteady stuff! ❤️ #NerdyPeoplePrepping
Dehydrating trays lined with parchment paper are filled with frozen slices of red bell peppers, green bell peppers, yellow bell peppers and onions
Trader Joe's roasted pepper and onion frozen mix, in the dehydrator! Easy peasy to toss in. Brand new experiment drying frozen veg. Looking forward to testing this with the roasted corn in a taco soup next week.
#nerdypeopleprepping
In theory this will work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compost...
There will be a lot of setup involved but if you have the materials to pull it off it could work quite well.
#NerdyPeoplePrepping
Yuuuuuuuuus!
Keeps 5ish years if stored well (airtight, no moisture, out of light). I'm going to try both an overnight fridge soak and a straight into the soup for 30 min soak, and see which I like better.
SO easy peasy with frozen veg. Pepper onion mix next.
#nerdypeopleprepping
An open dehydrator holds three trays of frozen roasted corn resting on parchment paper
I have been WAITING to experiment with this. I'm so excited. Did you know frozen veg is prepped and ready for dehydrating? And that roasted corn is deeeelicious?
I'm starting here. Next is roasted peppers and onions.

Anybody familiar with Oregon State's free online permaculture course?

It's not hard to do these things city adjacent. I am in residential the same situation but currently we are in town and will eventually be about 15 minutes away at most. Do what you can and don't hold yourself to what other people expect of "homesteading". #nerdypeopleprepping
You can start growing a ton of stuff in pots/containers without getting HOA approval in most areas. You can pick up a bunch of gorgeous pots at discount stores (like dollar tree & big lots) of various colors and sizes. Then plant them giving them space needed for each plant. ❤️ #NerdyPeoplePrepping
Excellent tip for building up your stored food:
1) buy 10 cans of black beans.
2) Leave them bagged on the floor bc you're tired.
3) Forget they're there and buy 10 more cans.
Repeat an absurd number of times.
#nerdypeopleprepping
I hope you liked where you put those blackberries because they may be there forever and don't worry they will only try to spread everywhere they touch. lol #NerdyPeoplePrepping
