Taking part in an ORES roundtable in Onondaga, New York today with three NYS Senators and some of the smartest people I’ve ever met in the last year who are here to fight for their towns and home rule. Lots of important information being shared. I’ll be taking notes and reporting on it all in the coming week on here. Keep the pressure on!

The people of Western NY who send me these photos are deeply and understandably traumatized. If you could hear the phone calls I’ve been on. The crying. Their property values are destroyed. They can’t sell their homes now. Their communities are gone. Solar panels surround graveyards where their parents are buried. It’s demonic. There’s no other word for it.

The North Fork cannot turn into a renewable energy experiment. It’s almost entirely USDA prime farmland. We take for granted how productive our farmland is in New York State. – at Cutchogue, NY

Here is my full speech I wrote and delivered yesterday in Cutchogue, New York. We must save and preserve our farmland from foreign “renewable” corporations that don’t care what happens to our soil, water, or wildlife. Our state government should be looking out for those resources. But the @NYSDEC has been told to “stand down” by ORES so they can pretend our ecological distinctions don’t matter anymore. And @KathyHochul can pretend all she wants that she didn’t receive a letter from the federal government two weeks ago. The countdown continues. – at Cutchogue, NY

It’s so nice to see monarch butterflies back at my farm this year enjoying all of the milkweed and black eyed susans I seeded last year. I seeded a bunch of flowers… but the three that took were the black eyed susans, perennial lupine, and common milkweed. That’s plenty for local pollinators that need food and their important host plants. There’s also tons of different varieties of daisies. This same acreage will play host to 4+ types of aster and goldenrod come this fall as well. Welcome home, monarchs! – at Greenwich, NY

Everyone’s favorite thing to say to me in an effort to “undermine” my work on here is that “I’m not a real farmer.” I spend a lot of time every single day working my land. I’ve always been honest: it’s just me, no tractor, and 1-2 acres of land I’m working myself while leaving the other 5 acres wild for pollinators (my own grassland). I’m pretty proud of all that I’ve done with this only being my SECOND YEAR EVER teaching myself how to farm. I work the ground at my land and am repairing the soil. It was a neglected hay field before it became mine. And I’m also adding raised beds, trellis arches, and I assembled my own greenhouse this past winter. I grew my own lavender from seed in our very cold climate. I have perennial lupine all over now to hopefully host the Karner blue butterfly. I have tons of monarch butterflies already at my property from the milkweed and nectar sources I sowed for them. And I am growing food in as many places as my two hands can dig. I can only imagine where I’ll be 5-years from now, with probably 10x the yield of what I’m able to do today. I don’t use any pesticides or herbicides. I use my rabbit fertilizer for gardening. I don’t till. I’m doing this the old fashioned, natural way that honors the land and my commitment to being a Monarch Waystation and Certified Wildlife Habitat. So many different animals and pollinators call my farm home now. That was always my intention. From there I am building on what I’ve been able to do in a short amount of time. Hopefully in the future at some point I can open my farm to the public. Right now I cannot from a safety point of view. There are unfortunately a small amount of people on here who wish me harm for exposing the green energy grift. That’s the price I’m paying to report on the information our legacy media would rather I keep quiet. I know what I signed up for. And I will end with this: we need more non-farmers from non-farming families to start growing food on a small-scale arrangement. I encourage anyone else to do what I am doing! If someone tries to bully you for it, tell them to F off lol. I might not be a 400-acre farmer today, but I am a small-scale farmer that’s doing right by the soil, the plants, the water, and the animals to feed my family, and eventually, small community. Give me a damn second! – at Greenwich, NY

The @NYSDEC and @KathyHochul don’t get to suddenly pretend all of the environmental designations they’ve awarded the Fort Edward Grasslands means nothing. We’re not giving our rolling Upstate NY pasture, grasslands, and endangered species to foreign renewable corporations. It stops with Fort Edward. – at Saratoga Springs, NY
