Where families feel connected to their roots, communities, and the earth.

Go Brewers!

Love seeing the energy and people coming together!

Let’s keep that same energy when voting and advocating.
We have the power to change policy so it supports:
-Regenerative farming (the way indigenous people have done)(It’s time we end kickbacks and subsidies for Big Ag causing detrimental environmental and health impacts).
-Nutritious food for everyone especially the one served at school (Farm to school)
-Early childhood education
-Urban farmers
-Being intentional so policy and events include people with disabilities
-Better rights and pay for farm workers
-Holding Big Ag accountable
-Policy and regulations for AI data centers (but you have to do your part too, this “cute” videos and pictures use sooooo much water. Using AI for everything and not turning to community not only isolated you but has a negative impact on the environment).
-Better treatment for animals 😞

So many more things we can change but one person can’t do it alone. If we all use this same energy we have for the Brewers winning the World Series, we can create positive change for our communities and generations to come. ✨

When your neighbor gives you rescued swallowtails from a big box store…

One day I saw I had several missed calls from my neighbor (she lives a 5 mins drive from me). I called her back and she said “thank goodness you answered. I’m on my way over to your house to see if you can help these caterpillars out.” She had bought a parsley plant from a big box store because there was four caterpillars on it and they were about to run out of food.

I hadn’t planned on using our National Geographic caterpillar enclosure because I didn’t want to grab caterpillars from wild to hold them captive but good thing we had it. We were going to plant dill this year really and were just letting the dill that had overwintered grow so we don’t have a good place for all four. We put them in the little enclosure to keep them safe and depending on weather moved it to different parts of the yard while foraging dill from wherever we could. Since we’re pesticide free the swallowtail butterflies were safe here and we found (I’m assuming) their babies. ❤️

Next year I’m definitely not skipping the Dill in the beginning of summer. 🤪

Will you consider going synthetic pesticide free to help caterpillars and butterflies? Would you consider planting a small patch of dill just for the caterpillars?
