​We had a glowing intergalactic visitor stop by the coop today... and it looks like the Green Lantern Corps is recruiting!

Move over Hal Jordan and John Stewart! Our rooster Rambo just made the cut. We caught him rocking his very own Green Lantern power ring right on his talon! 💍🦅

​I'm pretty sure Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre don’t have this much willpower... at least not when it comes to eating mealworms. 😂

The Common Ground YouTube channel is live!

We're opening it with our first long-form video, and I use "long-form" loosely: it's three and a half minutes. But it's the longest thing we've made, and it belongs somewhere better than a Reel that disappears down your feed in a week.

We're also in the process of moving everything we've posted so far over to the channel so it's all in one place and easy to find. A longer video from Friday's Market Off Main BCS vendor market at Hotel McCoy should be up shortly.

Here's the part that actually made us do this. We're starting to host free workshops, and we want every one of them recorded and online. The Brazos Valley is seven counties. Not everybody can make the drive to Bryan on a Saturday morning, and that shouldn't be the thing that decides whether you learn to grow food for your family.

When you can't come find your Common Ground, Common Ground will come find you instead.

Soundtrack is "Dream" by Joey McGee. He's a local artist, worth your time, go listen to the rest of his stuff.

Subscribe if you're inclined. Costs you nothing and it makes us easier for the next person to find.
