Just released May's paid newsletter - our own original recipe for beer battered nopales!
And look, we know you can probably find your own version of this recipe for free, but that's not the point. Subscribing at the paid tier for just $5 a month (you can't get a coffee out for that anymore) helps us keep this project going. This means more trees in the ground, more education for our community, more food for us and our neighbors and extended family members, less water waste and erosion in our landscape. It matters! And just a little helps a lot especially if a lot of folks are willing to sacrifice just a few bucks a month for the mission.

Also fun morning haul from last week: mesquite pods, some "volunteer" wheat (for the chickens, not for replanting), and a handful of squash blossoms.
The mesquite trees do so much for our ecosystem. They fix nitrogen, produce canopy, their thorny branches protect rodent and lizard burrows, and they produce lots of food very early in their lifespan comparative to most "tree crops". Our velvet mesquites produce the best, most edible pods with the biggest seeds, but the screwbeans (shown) do their job with little seeds but starchy pods. I try to harvest a combination and grind them into flour, pods and all.

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.
