Rancho de la Libertad

Hello from post-Equinox heat wave here in the sacred Mojave.

We see with the return of the sun also the return of young tree leaves, bees, dragonflies, and so much more. The cover crops I failed to grow last year are sprouting en masse in newly finished infiltration basins, irrigated with greywater from the communal house, and I've even seen mushrooms that I've inoculated into straw beds fruit after rains. So much of this feels like hope. Our young chickens are enjoying their first unsupervised forays into their little fenced run (until they're big enough to trust foraging), and we saw our first Great Horned Owl a few weeks ago.

Our website is live, and I hope you'll join us if you haven't already. We're releasing our first newsletter Monday, trying to put to digital paper Equinox contemplations, and bring you along on this journey with us.

It's free, and we appreciate your support.

We are also trying to get a few trees in the ground before it gets too hot. If you feel up to monetary support to help us with purchasing saplings, we don't have our own ko-fi or paid tiers of the newsletter offering, yet, but we can accept donations (or purchases that support the ranch) through Siin's ko-fi:

We appreciate & love you all, being to being. Stay safe out there.

11 years after a celebrated opening, massive solar plant faces a bleak future in the Mojave Desert

NRG said in a statement that the project was successful, but unable to compete with rival photovoltaic solar technology — such as rooftop panels — which have much lower capital and operating costs
