Hi everyone!!! I have a special request!

One of our farm crew members is dealing with a financial crisis. She already lives on the edge as a disabled woman ( if you know anything about the gov rules of that, you have an idea how F!/ the system is). She is also indigenous and having a safe vehicle is essential.
Her truck needs $700 worth of parts, that’s just for the parts! She drives a truck with over 300,000 miles and she needs her vehicle.. it’s not just an inconvenience or a situation where there is some kind of work around. So I am getting on here to ask all of you lovely humans who are part of our farm community to please consider buying a $25 raffle ticket to help raise these needed funds.
The winner will receive an on farm dinner and goat visit with a $250-$400 value. The dinner will be inspired by what is fresh and in season ( we are coming into the season of absolute food abundance so you know it will be 😍) and the menu will be curated with the preferences of whoever wins.
It will be a 4 course meal, drinks and a private visit with the farm animal crew.
You get to visit our ponies and all the goats and have a private tour of the farm If you would like.

Last time we did one of these events , here was the menu…

Basil chèvre on grilled sour dough
Applewood smoked chicken wings with 3 farm inspired dipping sauces
Garlic and herb mash potatoes
Grilled veggies
And I can’t remember what kind of salad 😂

Goat milk strawberry ice cream with a subtle lavender honey glaze.

Fresh blackberry margaritas and wine with dinner.

We can accommodate GF, vegetarian and other dietary needs.

You can buy a ticket by Venmoing

We will add you to
Our drawing that hopefully we will have enough funds raised by Monday to draw! Let’s help get our dear friend and community member able to get her truck fixed and then some!! 💗

Something came up yesterday about an influential online farmer who is talking about utilizing chickens in regenerative land management. They currently raise about 1,800 chickens but they are hoping to grow quite a bit like up to 40,000 ( economy of a scale) is what I was told. I don’t know who this farmer is but what I got on here and felt inspired to share is about scale and when we talk about regeneration and practices that support that process, we have to talk about our nutrient management and how we are dealing with that for both the land but even more so for the waterways. Nitrogen and Phosphorus are the two major nutrients ending up in our water ways and creating all kinds of problems ( think dead zone in the gulf). Nitrogen is a key component to manure, chickens are particularly high in both Nitrogen and it is one of the higher manures in phosphorus as well. This is super great for the compost and for the garden and the land in general to some degree but it’s not so great for water ways. When we over concentrate animals we intensify the nutrients and need to be more mindful of those components. Scale is so important and is hugely why we need more farms instead of bigger farms. Especially in the areas of increased fire retardant being used again with increasing fire, what is used in the retardant is primarily phosphorus. Where do you think this ends up…?
When we talk about regenerative we need to be thinking about the whole system.. our farms and our land management is one piece and different things make more sense in different areas but we also need to be looking at the whole if we really want to be thinking and doing regenerative work.

If you or someone you know is looking/interested in goats please reach out.
We have some really nice stock available for new homes and a variety from pets/brush clearers to nice homestead milkers.
Would like them to go in at least pairs.

Offerings of history and the future

Medicine Making and Mutual Aid Virtual 3D
Tuesday, July 7 3 PM - 5 PM EDT

Interested in making and sharing herbal medicine?

Join and Ayo .herbalist as we root ourselves in community care and cultural connection in our Medicine Making and Mutual Aid 3D, a virtual offering hosted by Soul Fire Farm.

In honoring our ancestral healing legacies and their connection to liberation, we’ll explore creative ways to make and share accessibly-sourced herbal medicines within our communities.

The 3D series is a multidimensional workshop series designed for B.I.P.O.C. (Black, Indigenous, &/or People of Color) to deepen skills in specific farming and land stewardship practices in a culturally relevant, supportive, and joyful environment.

In this 2-hour workshop, you can expect to:

* explore practical and creative ways to show up for your community and comrades with herbal remedies and information
*learn more about the embodiment of mutualism through an exploration of current and historical models of mutual aid
* collectively brainstorm ideas for herbal distribution and skill-sharing
* strategize around accessibility and sourcing herbal material in a sustainable way
* provide tools and recipes that can support you in practicing hands-on medicine-making skills

More details and registration can be found on our program calendar on our website SoulFireFarm.org (linked in bio)

Horses are a lot to keep up with it is true but they also bring alot to the farm!
This time of year when the grass is so abundant and even the goats can’t keep up,the horses help us mow. They also provide an abundance of quality manure for great compost and here in this photo, they are spending a little time in one of the goat pastures because they help clean up some parasites that may be in the pasture. One of the parasites that can be particularly hard on goats, barber pole worms. They are blood sucking and can cause anemia. Horses can ingest them and not be affected so in the spring and fall I will put the horses in the goat pastures to ingest the worms in case they are present in the space.

Things we can do.
Please support if you are able to!

Here’s a revised version that adds context about Leonard Peltier and makes it clearer that you’re helping amplify community support rather than organizing it yourselves:

At a time when the cost of living is so high, many people are turning to gardening to help feed themselves and their families.

We’re helping spread the word about a community effort supporting Leonard Peltier and his garden this growing season.

Leonard Peltier, an Indigenous activist, elder, and longtime advocate for Native rights, was recently able to return home to his community after spending decades incarcerated. As he continues rebuilding daily life at home, friends, supporters, and community members are coming together to help make sure he has access to fresh food and the ability to garden independently.

Last year, Leonard was fortunate enough to have his garden tilled, but unfortunately he did not have the support needed to properly maintain it.

This year is different.

Because diabetes has severely affected his eyesight, it is difficult for him to see long distances, so raised planter boxes and porch gardening are especially important. Having plants closer to him will make it much easier for him to continue growing food independently.

Support is already coming together in a beautiful way. Friends and supporters from many places are traveling to help plant and care for the garden, and Turtle Mountain Community College will also be sending students to assist with maintaining it.

What Leonard still needs are supplies — specifically planter boxes, soil, and gardening materials. To help cover these costs, supporters are asking for gift cards from Menards or Walmart.

Any contribution toward Leonard’s food sovereignty and independence would be deeply appreciated.

Gift cards can be mailed to:

Leonard Peltier
PO Box 760
Belcourt, ND 58316

Thank you for supporting this community effort.
