Had to do an EMERGENCY harvest today. 😬

Our free-ranging goats discovered a small stand of thorny mesquite, and while I'm normally all for them eating annoying stuff in the back pasture, the beans on this tree are an absolute NO-NO. 🙅

Not because it's poisonous — in fact, we humans can enjoy the sweet beans, too — but because mesquite beans and ruminants is a recipe for an INFINITE supply of mesquite trees.

See, the mesquite bean on its own doesn't generally germinate once it falls to the ground. It needs to be scarified and soaked in acid first, which is EXACTLY what a goat, cow, or other ruminant does when it chews and then digests the seed pods. And when they are pooped out and get established in the soil, their super long taproots make them a huge pain to eliminate from your pasture.

So like any panicked rancher, I rushed out to pick as many of them as I could, and now I have a ton more of mesquite beans on the counter than I was planning to have at this point.

Maybe I'll make mesquite jelly or flour...any ideas? 🤪

Great class this last weekend. Be sure to watch out for new dates to drop!
