I finally found (accidentally ran into) a grocery shelf item I kept seeing in recipes, that I never heard of bc I'm surrounded by the living, growing version of it. (Dried taro leaf ) πŸ˜… I'm definitely gonna use the fresh version forever and always. That shelf stable version has a similar story to fry bread, in that it's what was used bc the real foods of the people were taken, destroyed, forbidden, no land, no farmers, etc.

Again with a recipe calling for a processed, grocery store item as one of the ingredients, when what I'm starting with is an actual vegetable that I grew. It came out of the ground. I planted it and dug it up. Sigh. So let me go ahead and apply my 30000 yrs of ancestral knowledge to figure it out. Anything to avoid a grocery store. This is my revolutionary praxis. πŸ™„ #resist #eatlocal #survival #cooking #foodjustice #foodsovereignty #homestead #capitalism #food

#Maine - #Agricultural #ConservationEasements

"The primary purpose of an Agricultural Conservation Easement is to protect the agricultural soils, agricultural viability, and agricultural productivity of a property in perpetuity by limiting non-agricultural uses of the property.

What is it?

"It is a voluntary, legally recorded permanent deed restriction place on the property. The easement or 'development right' may be donated or sold (or a combination of the two) usually to a land trust which then holds (and manages) the easement. Land protected from development with an easement remains in private ownership.

Agricultural easements help farmers balance goals of:

- generating revenue for farming or retirement;
- making their land more affordable to future farmers;
- keeping their farmland in farming;
- maintaining a treasured legacy of #SustainableFarm #stewardship.

"Agricultural conservation easements are private transactions, entered into for perpetuity, and thus harder to undo compared to other land protection land use strategies.

"The process can take some time to negotiate and carry out. The cost of buying easements on a significant scale can be prohibitive. It is also important that the 'holder' of the easements has the capacity to ensure that the agricultural land is managed as intended.

"You can contact your local #LandTrust or the statewide #MaineFarmlandTrust when considering easements as a farm viability and farmland protection tool."

Hokay. Pulled BBQ pork, homemade coleslaw and potato salad, and fresh NEPA sweet corn as both vegetable and dessert for supper. I believe the corn variety is "Bread & Butter" (white and yellow kernels on the same ear): at least it looks and tastes like what my Uncle Luther used to grow each year.

I'm stuffed silly, and very happy. πŸ˜‹ πŸ˜€
