Green Earth Pastures

Green Earth Pastures
A soil first project focused on composting, vermicomposting, and closed loop growing systems.

[Green Earth Pastures @GreenEarthPas]

Green Earth Pastures may not have physical pastures ....yet,
but the foundation is already being built.
It’s a brand created and carried by us .... rooted in the belief that community thrives when people stay local, support one another, and care for the land beneath their
feet.

May you find beauty in ordinary moments, gratitude in abundance, and the courage to keep moving toward the life you're building 💛

Our healthy eating habits are really quite simple and affordable.

Whole foods are the foundation and we stay very conscious about choosing real, clean ingredient, non whole food items; while working to replace more of those items with homemade over time.

Flower posting will continue until morale improves 💛

With Japanese culture getting major love on X the past few days, we’re realizing how many parts of our daily life already fit their way of life…including our F.A.R.M.

This morning, it hit me that one of our simple daily mobility hacks, deep squatting, is a part of daily life there, too.
We learned it a few years ago and now try to do this at least once every single day.
Japanese life builds it into their day. Squat toilets, floor sitting, low furniture. Prioritizing easy moves that keep you mobile and pain free for life.

It can help with better hip and knee mobility, posture, digestion, less back, and knee pain. That’s why their 70 and 80 year olds still squat like it’s nothing!!

Can you do one now?!

Its great to see people discovering Japan. My workplace actually fuctions on a Japanese mindset.
We practice it daily.

Omotenashi: a concept that means serving others from the heart. No reward expected, no performance, just genuine care. Imagine if we all brought that into our communities, our families, our daily habits. We need Japan!
That's the energy we have always been building here.

If you slip once in a while, remember the old programming runs deep. Be patient and kind to yourself.
Changing patterns takes time. The fact that you are even aware of it, even trying to shift it, is huge.
Give yourself credit for that and keep going.

We recently received an email from the farm where we buy our meat and eggs. Their property sits directly inside one of the proposed corridors for the Alto high-speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City.

After reading it, we reached out and received permission to share her full email so others can understand what many rural landowners are currently facing.

She attended an Alto information session hoping to learn more about the project and what it could mean for her farm and the surrounding community. What she came away with were a lot of unanswered questions and a growing concern about the uncertainty surrounding land, livelihoods, and the future of farms in the proposed corridor.

Whether someone supports the rail project or not, the reality is that decisions like this have very real impacts on the people who live and work on the land.

We’ve been seeing situations like this appear more and more in different places, and bringing awareness to what’s happening on the ground feels important.

If you want to understand why farmers and rural communities are asking questions right now about this project, we encourage you to read her full email and story here:

Little over a year ago... we bought a travel trailer instead of an overpriced house. At the time we didn’t fully know what the plan was. We just knew we wanted a different path.
That decision led us here…

We’ve been connecting with farmers across North America and beyond for the past year while building our own body of work behind the scenes. Listening. Learning. Testing ideas in real life.
One theme kept rising to the surface.

Soil first. Heritage foods. Regenerative systems. Simple living.
It became clear we needed a structure that holds it all together.
F. A. R. M.
Food.
Awareness.
Routine.
Mindset.
Food rooted in living soil.
Awareness of the systems we participate in.
Routine that builds strength over time.
Mindset that thinks long term.
This is the model guiding Healthy-ish moving forward.

https://t.co/47i3N9WqC3 is now live. It’s a work in progress ... as we build it ourselves, and over the next few months it will grow alongside us as we prepare for our upcoming volunteer farm stay.
We’re putting this out early because we value real feedback.
If this framework speaks to you, tell us why.

Inspired......Enjoy 💛

Worm alert!
Found a hitchhiker in our wriggler bin this morning. That looks like an earthworm to me ... Seems it dove deep and ended up in the second bin meant for drippings. I put it back.. It will have to make due in the wriggler bin for now.

Ever wonder why your soil pH matters so much? It’s all about the Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). This determines how well your soil holds onto nutrients like Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+}, and K^{+}. If your soil is too acidic or too sandy, those nutrients just wash away.

[Healthy-ish @RealTalk8386]

On the drive to work this morning, I was wondering how many people have never had the full experience of risking both life and vehicle just to make it to work. 🤔
Playing "where exactly is the road" first thing in the morning is always a bit of a gamble. Exhausting… but somehow always make it 😄

🌿 Reeeeach!!

Hey! That's not for you!!

[Healthy-ish @RealTalk8386]

The more we appreciate what we’ve got, the easier it is to move through the day with a good heart. That loop feeds itself.

We are officially producing castings!!

These dark clusters tell the story… food scraps and cardboard transformed, worms hard at work, soil taking shape.
Almost time to add the next top bin and let them keep climbing.
This is how our soil begins!

[Healthy-ish @RealTalk8386]

Look what we found!!! 🍅
