Was reminded of the time I had sunflowers suddenly arise on the edges of my garden.

We have chickens and the seed mixture we like to give them contains sunflower seeds. Given where they grew, my conclusion was that the chickens ate them and the seeds came out, uh, let’s say fertilized.

There’s a metaphor in there somewhere.

Our next newsletter will discuss something that maybe you've been thinking about (but probably not): raising chickens in a dryland environment. What aspects of care are different? How do chickens fit into a regenerative project? What alternatives to chickens are there and what differences are there in the niche they fill?

If your land is not arid or dryland, but you are concerned about increasing temperatures and more frequent droughts, some of the care information in this post may be useful as your environment changes in the near future.

I hope to release this early this week, but don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss it in your inbox.

And please consider subscribing at our supporter tier for fun gifts twice a year and access to additional information - this month I'll be releasing a delightful recipe for paid subscribers only. We could use your support to keep this space going. Thank you!
