Moved to rural central Virginia this year after 18 years in Northern Virginia just outside of Washington, DC. A software engineer but transitioning to farming as I contemplate my retirement in about 10 years or so. Going to grow tea, rice, lavender and other crops. Going to use the rice to brew rice beer and wine, the Lavender to blend in with the tea and beer. Tea takes 3-4 years before I can pick, just planting seeds now. Other interests: hiking, running and traveling.

35000 seeds from Nepal arrived today after clearing Nepali Plant quarantine, customs and USDA inspection. Me and mom will be starting them in the basement in the next 2 weeks and then transfer them to greenhouses in March #teafarmer #ricefarmer #ricebeer #farmer #brewer

Hi. It would help me a lot if I could get a HEAP of responses to this poll. The goal is to get a decent enough sample so results are predictive of the wider user-base right now. I dislike asking for boosts but this is SCIENCE... or something. (Thanks.)

How do you use Mastodon MOST of the time?

On a phone, or other touch screen device?

OR

On a device with a keyboard like a laptop or desktop computer?

(If it's half and half choose the middle option.)

I mostly use mobile/tablet

I have a wide variety of interests, which might irk some of my followers. I’m just as likely to boost something about US politics or civil rights/social justice, the fall of Rome, a random book I read, as I am something about any number of languages, KPop culture, etc.

The majority of my posts have been boosts to new people, paying forward the kindness extended to me when I got here. Don’t feel bad if you feel the need to mute me.

I'm a city tea farmer and this past summer was my first real harvest. I didn't pick enough to get through until next year but it seemed like such hard work at the time. Next year I'll do better. #tea #cameliasinensis #cityfarming #crops

At the end of the path to Cuckmere Haven in Sussex, UK, where the river meets the sea.

I always follow back, and really appreciate and follow boosters

Having grown up in Colorado Springs, the shooting at Club Q in which 5 lives - straight, trans and gay - were lost, was especially painful to hear about. Thankfully combat veteran Richard Fierro brought the shooter down. One way to thank this hero is to buy merch from the Brewery he owns in Colorado Springs.

I did some early Xmas shopping and I hope you will too! May these heroes stay forever strong, may the deceased rest in peace, may the injured recover soon. 🙏🏻

#intro #introduction hi, I am a new farmer trying my hand at rice, lavender and tea. I hope to brew the rice into beer and wine and blend it with tea, lavender and other plants I might grow. My farm is in Rockbridge County, Virginia and it is on a hill. I hope to terrace it like in the Himalayas. #smallfarmer #homebrewer #terracefarming #sake #saketea
