Alpine #strawberries are thriving as a companion plant at the base of our Osborn Fig tree. Teeny but super sweet berries. #permaculture #homesteading #homestead #biodynamic #berries #urbangarden #urbanfarming #red

As part of the indigo collective, I helped turn the indigo compost this spring (once a week for 100 days). The first vat is in production with these items dyed from our efforts. #naturaldye #indigo #indigodye #fibershed #heirloomfestival

We filled the patio with the harvested indigo! Much better yield on second harvest. Fingers crossed we will get a third before weather changes. #fibershed #indigocollective #indigo #indigodye #naturaldye #homestead

Harvesting indigo today, I came across not one, but TWO praying mantis. #beneficialinsects #insectstagram #prayingmantis #fibershed #homestead

Second harvest has begun. Looks like this one will be much more than first. Yay! #fibershed #naturaldye #naturaldyes #indigodye #indigo #naturalfibers #permaculture

We started apple cider (hard) and apple elderberry cyser mead last night. Grateful for the gifts of the heirloom apple trees here at the #homestead. #fermentation #homebrew #mead #cyser #cider #honeywine #permaculture

I love old pantries! The apple cider vinegar from our heirloom apples is cooking now. Coming soon to the 8th & Bee farmstand… #applecidervinegar #homesteading #homestead #fermentation #pantry #apples #heirloomapples #diy

Tiffany and I pressing apples at the @slowfoodrussianriver community press. Came home with 6 gallons of juice for cider and way more pulp than we expected, to turn into apple cider vinegar. Looks like we’ll need more mason jars. 🙂 #homesteading #fermentation #apples
