Spent forever combining our kitchens yesterday, while the world burned. It's so easy to be oblivious to what is happening off the ranch sometimes, and often it feels like work to stay connected to the themes that matter to me, like #foodsovereignty and #agconservation. But while I chose to live here in part to minimize my global environmental impact, it's nice to receive the occasional message that I'm still positively impacting other people. A collaborator from halfway around the world just emailed to say one of her employees is really benefitting from positive mentorship from me and my organization, and it truly made my day. Just a further reminder of how much we can do to help others, even if we're doing it from our own homes. 🌎💚✌🏼️ . . #scientificcapacity #mentorship #workstuff #homesteading #riversendranch #riversendlivermore

"Oh, my favorite animal!" "Goats are your favorite, Grampa?" "I've always loved goats!" . Phoebe and Rachel, the newest cute animal ambassadors at Rivers End Ranch, came home today. Thank you to @spenkerfamilyfarm for getting us started! 💚🐐 . . #conversationswithGrampa #dwarfnigeriangoats #babygoats #wegotkids #riversendlivermore #riversendranch

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a blogger and that someday I'll write things for publications with titles other than "Biological Control." So I procrastinated on a pub for Biological Control by writing something on my blog. Link in bio. ✌🏼️💚 . . #biologicalcontrol #riversendlivermore #riversendranch #wheresguera

Pretty much sums up our #ranchlife: getting dirty, drinking beer, and laughing with my Grampa. His photography skills are on point, but to be fair, he said "I pushed the button, and nothing happened." 😂💚✌🏼️ . . #conversationswithGrampa #buildingpatios #takingnames

Happy International Biodiversity Day! #soapbox alert: A few, large mammals anchor this photo, but they feed upon multiple grass species, which are supported by a soil filled with a multitude of insect, nematode, spider, bacteria, etc etc. species. Those soils also support our majestic oaks, which provide habitat for countless birds, shade for deer and cows, help harvest groundwater, and even provide food for patient humans in the form of acorns. I've been feeling pretty lucky lately that this is the spot that cultivated my appreciation for diverse ecosystems and cultures. 💚🌎✌🏼️. . . #internationalbiodiversityday #biodiversity #biodiversidad #diadebiodiversidad #llamas #dominothellama #riversendlivermore #riversendranch

"Grampa, here's some loquat jam." "Well I only eat hiquats!" "Good one Grampa!" "What are you doing?" "Bringing you and Mom jam." "OK, whatever works." . . #conversationswithGrampa

My butterfly pancakes didn't look like butterflies, and that was the worst thing about this weekend. 😂🙄🦋 . . #ranchlife #homesteading #cabinlife #riversendlivermore #riversendranch #alamedacounty #piesandpickles
