Revelation Vineyard Summerland

04/19/2026

Hello. Its been a minute. A couple years I suppose... but I promise we have been working really hard over here. Ups and downs everyday, not just in the vineyard but life in general. Trying desperately to hold broken pieces together. Gaining more and more respect for farmers everywhere. I planted the second half of the vineyard and a new row is going in this spring. The vines are pruned and tied and ready to wake up. I think Kane would be proud ❤️

Two new mouse traps 🐈🐈‍⬛
24 heritage chicks 🐣 currently in my basement growing their big chick feathers... after losing the flock to the neighbors dog. When you have live stock you have dead stock.
16 honey bee hives.
Queen Kaya is still keeping watch over me and the boys as a good shepherd does.
4th year of organic red Russian garlic.

Hoping for our first grape harvest this year.

Thank you to all my people for your love and support. Could not do this without you.

Revelarion 26 - "Dissent"

Rushing is not a good habit. All else being equal, the fastest path is always that of least resistance. However, no resistance means no resilience.

Revelation 25 - "Auto-da-fé"

Mediocrity salivates at only the thought of the finished product or end result. People don’t want to do the thing, they want to have done it. Doing implies a process, and ‘process’ is forgotten in the vocabulary of most.

Revelation 24 - "DIY"

I am not by nature a capable person, but then again, I don’t think anyone is. Nobody is born knowing how to do things. What we often mistake for innate ability is usually the glossing over of trial, error, and a process of practice that begun well before any bystanders came along...

Revelation 22 - "Beauty in the Breakdown"

For too long I’ve navigated life in a literal frame of mind. Logic and reason were the sole arbiters of my way forward. Yet this was incomplete. Both logic and reason are necessary to human existence, but untethered they become tyrants...
