Hello friends of the so-called Fediverse,

Rancho de la Libertad is attempting to hire a farm manager. It's a role related to project management and administrative assisting, but ideally we're looking for someone either stoked to train up their animal husbandry and gardening skills or someone who already has some knowledge in these areas.

Please read all bullets, as this may be one role but it also could be two or so smaller roles if folks find this with specialized experience in one or more key areas!

We need assistance with tasks ranging from food inventorying and ordering things when they run out to:
• helping manage a calendar of key events related to livestock breeding, planting, and harvesting
• helping to research weather trends for the year both locally and regionally as they relate to planting
• communicating with vendors, other potential hands for the farm (including helping find and vet applicants for ad hoc jobs as required)
• building a website for our rabbitry, potentially managing ARBA registration
• building a real website for the Ranch that we can self-host
• for the right, trusted person, potentially helping us manage finances better (I've been trying and failing to keep track of all of our spending on infrastructure)
• helping manage and organize key events at the Ranch including Full Moon Dinners and our Wheel of the Year events
• errand running (occasionally)

Ideally this person will be local and willing to be on site for some training and some crucial tasks. If someone wishes to just apply to build us a website, though, this could be a remote gig for the right person. Ultimately, we're looking for someone who cares about what we're doing, wants the experience, has some general background knowledge of animal husbandry and either agriculture, permaculture, or ecological regeneration OR is interested in doing the work to get up to speed. What we really need is someone who can come in and build us a system for doing things.

Initially we can offer $20-25 per hour for the right person and around 10 or so hours per week (not always on site). There's some room for this to grow, and potential for space to live on the Ranch after some time getting to know and trust one another.

So! Please boost away and feel free to share on other socials we don't have if you have em. We really would like to find someone local to the Joshua Tree or Morongo Basin, CA area but maybe you're a nomad who wants some extra cash or you can do part of this remotely - let us know!

**Edit: forgot to add that if you or someone you know is interested, please email us at [email protected] to further discuss and have an official job description sent over

**I forgot to mention: this job is friendly to folks with physical or other disabilities, I suppose insofar as you can get around (transit out here isn't great but it exists, even way out here there's a shuttle to and from town two days a week). This is not a physical labor job and doesn't require a ton of time onsite.

*** We are so willing to pay under the table and prefer it if that helps you keep your tax burden low or keep critical social benefits that you'd otherwise lose with additional income ***

I'll also crosspost this with the updated figures from today's harvest for those of you interested. Since January first, we've produced on-site:

111 dozen eggs (that's 1,336 eggs approximately)
175.25 pounds of meat
21 pounds of vegetables
16.5 pounds of lard
7 pounds of animal fodder

This does not count the 100 or so pounds of unrendered fat in our freezer, nor does it count almost all of our spring crops that have yet to come to harvest (only the early season ones that we already harvested). We've given lots away, and we have lots in our freezer and canned for later.

Our inputs are minimal: once a year we make a bulk organic animal feed order, we use some well water, and I did order seeds last year (though often I save them from our own vegetables). No fertilizers, no mineral inputs, no purchased soil, no pots, no trays, no tilling, nothing. We've transformed about a half acre or so (and growing) of our six acres of previously landfilled, compacted, and completely soil-collapsed land into cultivable soil. It's taking time, but the momentum is building and it's getting easier every season to rebuild topsoil and produce more on-site with less inputs.

This month's newsletter release for paid subscribers is a compilation of the six biggest things we think you need to consider before going off on your homesteading, permacultur-ing, or back-to-the-land-ing dream.

While this might sound corny, we see you. We know that lots of you are disillusioned with the polycrisis and the economic and social institutions we live under and you wish for either sovereignty or an exit from capitalism or just to get out of your day job (or all three). Alternatively, we see those of you who are just trying to figure out how to reduce your own impact while seeking to solve some of the more structural issues, because let's face it: there is a possibility that all we can do is what *we* can do, because we know that the powers-that-be really might not care that we need change.

So we sat down and thought about what mistakes we made, and what mistakes others make, and what it is that people are ultimately looking to do when they try to get into a life like this. The result is useful, we think, and we hope that if you can spare $5 you'll look into it. Any contributions help us with our own sovereignty project, and help us feed others, and help us rewild this section of the Mojave and (we hope) a big enough section to make meaningful microclimate impacts one day.

If you read it, or contribute in any way, or share it, thank you very much. We appreciate you, and you're helping to keep us going.

Our paid newsletter for January will dive deep into ethical pet food (focusing primarily on dogs) and include a base recipe for making your own. Because vegan dogs or cats don't align with the reality of high-welfare animal keeping, regardless of what studies funded by Purina and other dog food giants who want to keep selling dog food (even to vegan pet owners) claim.

If you bump your subscription to the paid tier for just $5, you'll get it in your inbox at the end of the week, and you'll help an Indigenous land steward maintain control of a piece of ancestral land that we may otherwise lose. And honestly, the value of our current paid posts archive is worth much more than that, so please consider it if you would otherwise spend that $5 on a coffee tomorrow morning.

We poured a lot into this new post on pigs, and who doesn't love learning more about these intelligent, sniffy, chonky beings? Check it out:

https://rancholibertad.com/on-pigs-and-integrating-new-allies/

There's a LOT going on right now including us potentially needing to give up the land and move. If you're capable of upping your subscription to the paid tier it's just FIVE dollars a month and it helps us out a lot. We also still accept donations through our (currently slightly neglected) co-owner's ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/sigillosacro. We're offering a lot of good stuff for free and we do it because it needs to be done but also any contributions help us justify the time and energy we're spending doing this instead of other things that could keep us afloat.

Anyway. Love you all, stay safe out there, and thank you for reading and sharing if you do!

If you're up in #Namgis territory/ #AlertBay - you'll want to try & get some yummy bannock eats from #DuchessBannockAndDesserts. The hours are irregular, like most small businesses on #CormorantIsland. If you luck out - you'll find the Duchess of #Bannock & she will fill your belly while engaging in lively conversations!
I found out on my 2023 trip there, that she's an Auntie/relative to some of my Indigenous friends 💗

She gifted me a book, a magic hat bunny plushie & gave us free cheese bannock bites to eat on the ferry. We bought 3 different bannock goodies from her.

We finally have an update for you all on what has been going on here! This gives a little info on why we've been so distant, what we've been navigating, and some very exciting additions to the Ranch.

https://rancholibertad.com/quarterly-updates-awaiting-the-return-of-the-light/

I hope to share some very fun pictures of our new animal residents soon, and I feel like I have a lot to say about this season as a whole that I'd like to share here rather than in a longer form newsletter.

Please email us your questions if you'd like to participate in this quarter's paid sub Q&A. Last quarter we were able to give some very in-depth answers to wonderful questions, so if you have something pertinent to your own project or goals now is a great time to learn from our experiences! Paid subscribers have also been promised a gift for the Solstice season, and if you're one of them please send us your address so that we may send you some goodies from the land.

I hope to be more active here very soon, I wish to catch up on all of your posts and updates and be a little more participatory in this community. It is almost the season, we have one more push before we'll be settling back into a routine and having more leisure time.

Thank you to all of our subscribers for being so patient: I just released our late paid newsletter for October. I look forward to getting back on track for November!

October's paid newsletter is a brief intro to home fermentation with a recipe for preserved lemons that is definitely worth trying!

Please share with a friend and let them know paid subscriptions help us support our residents and our mission of building a sovereign community and regenerating this land for future generations. Our residents are some of the most vulnerable under this current regime, and now more than ever we're relying on your support to keep going and continue to support them in having a place to live and good food to eat so they may continue to spend their time working on community liberation.
