Every season we try to grow something that we hadn't grown before. This season, we picked #kohlrabi and it's starting to show it's beautiful self! If you haven't had kohlrabi before, pick some up next time you see it. You can eat the leaves attached raw or cooked like any greens. The smaller bulbs tend to be more tender and flavorful, but the large ones are also fine for cooking and eating. In taste and texture, kohlrabi reminds me of peeled broccoli stems with a bit of peppery radish thrown in. °

Sharing is caring and oh, do we love to share our harvests with our human friends and our non-human ones. By letting some of our plants go to seed in this case broccoli, we nurture the way plants come to an end by also providing beautiful blooms for our hardworking bees. Once these blooms dry out, we can then harvest the seeds for a new season of growth. Did you know that these beautiful clusters of yellow blooms are edible? Their scent is very mild and has more of a vegetal aroma rather than floral. Broccoli flowers have a flavor reminiscent of broccoli leaves, peppery with a sweet honeyed finish. °

Oh how I love this primitive approach to building soil Heath and restoring our earth’s vitality!!! We dug a trench to bury hot compost in the earth.
.
.
We took our clients hot compost - which is a nice idea and cool because it’s an urban method to reduce carbon emissions — but it’s been sold to you guys at home good stores and hardware supply shops where they forget to mention that it’s anaerobic and will not heat up enough to cure all pathogens, seeds, smells funky and kills the good bacteria that builds soil structure !! (please don’t feed this to your garden beds)
.
.
So it’s our turn to bring the biology back ! We will take care of any composting situ — Inviting the natural world in, now let’s watch the magic begin ✨ 🖤✨🍃

Aligning with today’s Taurus New Moon... A very good day to be Finca Tierra Negra. (In solidarity with soil 🖤) Read below:
.
Taurus is symbolized by the Garden. The Garden of sensual delight, of peace and fertility, the Garden paradise we all long for.
.
We can reclaim our connection to this earthly paradise when we listen to and observe the world around us and understand how it feels to us.
.
Relating to our environment and the Earth through our senses cause us to understand things through our feeling nature.
.
We are called to deepen our consciousness, widening it so we can learn to listen to and respond to Earth’s dreaming.
.
The shift comes when we leave behind our left-brain rationality and open to our right-brain imagination.
.
I will see you on the other side 🌕✨✨✨

“Imagine if we had a food system that actually produced wholesome food. Imagine if it produced that food in a way that restored the land. Imagine if we could eat every meal knowing these few simple things:
What it is we’re eating.
Where it came from.
How it found its way to our table.
And what it really cost.
If that was the reality, then every meal would have the potential to be a perfect meal."

Solution #4 to Reversing Climate Change: Eat a Plant Rich Diet ♥️
.

Even if only half the world's population joined us and committed to eating a PLANT RICH DIET, we could reduce #greenhousegas emissions by >66 gigatons by 2050! ! !
.

In Paul Hawken’s book Drawdown, he presents solutions based on research by leading scientists on how to reverse climate change, describing 100 techniques and practices ranging from technologies to replace fossil fuels to regenerative agriculture to buildings with zero net energy consumption to plant-based diets. @projectdrawdown

In the midst of Mycelium working Her Magic 🕊
.
Fungi are everywhere, constantly maintaining and healing the habitats of the world through their unique abilities to disassemble, move, and create nutrients above and below the soil horizon. Today humans are finally beginning to recognize many ways by which we can apply these fungal abilities to managed landscape and habitat regeneration projects.
.
.
In habitats that have been disturbed by erosion, desertification, deforestation, wild fire, or other natural or human-caused disasters, fungi can be integrated into revegetation strategies to build and stabilize soil and, if needed, speed up decomposition to increase nutrient cycles.

A little Lasagna Composting 101 🍊🍃Composting food scraps with layers of our blended green waste @fincatierranegra converts organic material into stable soil carbon, while retaining water and nutrients of the original waste matter. The result is a healthy inoculum that will bring the biology back into the soil naturally.

Dear Readers,
Ending the year with a hopeful note; I’m SO proud to say that in 2017, within only a few months, Finca Tierra Negra has diverted 1,540 lbs of food waste from landfill - that’s 6 baby elephants - and the carbon emission equivalent to setting 4,207 gallons of methane/ethanol gasoline ablaze 🔥🔥🔥🔥
.
.
A huge thanks to our amazing restaurant partners @lasa_la who believe in process and have committed to reclaiming their carbon footprint because it matters ♥️ @mf_food @chinesebeancurd @chef.conrad @le_vickivic @yourplaceormine @supersteff @txeis_valencia @lasa_la

An even bigger heartfelt thanks to you! And everybody here that’s supporting the movement and taking this on in their own homes. So grateful for all you’re doing, even if you’re just beginning to rethink the way things are working around here 🌎💘
.
.
.
One of the reasons climate change has struggled to get across to larger audiences is that we’re still finding metrics to understand our impact - so my formula here @fincatierranegra is based on elephants and fuel set on fire for us to understand on visual and emotional impact levels.
.
.
.
Here’s to HOPE galvanizing CHANGE in 2018.
With love,
Britt and Sam

Reading the signs. We may live in a Mediterranean climate but we are on the edge of desertification here in LA!

The soil crisis is calling for you to rise up 🕊 It’s time we bring the biology back. Naturally, of course.

Indigenous Microorganisms are the bioremediation we need to save our plants from both polluted land and potential disease... and #lasagnacomposthealstheearth
