Looks like it's time for another #introduction ! I'm TJ, I live on ~50 acres of stolen Oneida land (central NY), where I live with my partner, a rotating cast of my kids, farm helpers, and a slew of #livestock and #pets.

We #forage and #garden, and for the 2024 season we've produced about 85% of what we will eat at home for the year.
We generate more electricity than we use.

I fund this with a tech job (see my other acct at fedia.social/@TJHob), my partner works full time on the homestead.

Please enjoy some pictures from over the years.
