OffTheLand

About

"Abundance is here."

OffTheLand is a local marketplace where absolutely anyone can sell, trade, share, or buy their fruits, vegetables, seeds, eggs, livestock, bee products, services, hand crafts, and artisan goods.

OffTheLand is community-driven and sponsored and is a great place for hobby gardeners, homesteaders, small-scale ranchers, & permaculture folks to connect directly with local, discerning consumers.

Problems with global food supplies:

  1. Our global food supply chains are vulnerable to cyberattacks, pandemics, solar flares, and other black-swan events. If any one of these events were to occur, the food in our grocery stores would only last 3 days.
  2. On average, each item on the plate travels 1500 miles, and thus 84% of food cost goes to shipping, warehousing, distribution, brokering, insuring, and retail. Inflation and economic pressures significantly increase the food prices at each step of the global food supply chains.

Solutions that OffTheLand brings:

  1. Turn your passion and hobby of gardening and ranching into a revenue stream by selling your abundance directly to conscious consumers in your local community (in your zip-code).
  2. Bartering, buying, & selling items locally builds a network of reliable & like-minded individuals. It's a win-win!

mulberry

Ever-bearing mulberry

Ever-bearing mulberries are mulberry trees that produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season rather than in one large crop. They are great for home gardens, providing a steady supply of sweet, nutritious berries for you and wildlife. 🌱 Growing Information • Climate & Zones: • Most everbearing mulberries (like Morus nigra and Morus alba hybrids) grow well in USDA Zones 4–9 depending on the variety. • Cold-hardy types (like Morus alba hybrids) can survive in Zone 4. • Black mulberry (Morus nigra) prefers Zones 7–10. • Sunlight: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) for maximum fruiting. • Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil; tolerates clay, sandy, and loamy soils. pH 5.5–7.0. • Watering: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established but fruits best with consistent moisture. • Growth Habit: Can be a small tree or large shrub (6–20 ft). Often pruned to stay small for easy harvesting. • Harvest: Produces fruit over a long period (spring to summer, sometimes into fall). Fruits ripen gradually and fall when fully ripe. 🌿 Health Benefits Mulberries are packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and plant compounds that support overall wellness: • Rich in vitamins & minerals – Especially vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, potassium, and calcium. • Antioxidant powerhouse – High in resveratrol, anthocyanins, and flavonoids for anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects. • Supports blood sugar balance – May help regulate glucose due to compounds that slow carbohydrate breakdown. • Heart health – Promotes healthy circulation and may reduce LDL cholesterol. • Immune support – Vitamin C boosts immunity. • Bone strength – Calcium, vitamin K, and iron support bone density. • Eye health – Contains lutein and zeaxanthin for vision support. 🍇 How to Use • Fresh fruit • Eat straight off the tree (sweet, slightly tart, like blackberries). • Add to smoothies, salads, yogurt, or cereal. • Dried mulberries • Popular as a chewy, raisin-like snack. • Can be added to granola, trail mix, or baked goods. • Juices & syrups • Used for natural drinks, jellies, and cordials. • Baking & desserts • Excellent in pies, muffins, cobblers, jams, and sauces. • Leaves • Can be dried and brewed as a herbal tea (used in traditional Chinese medicine for blood sugar and cooling properties).

Mexican sunflowers, Tithonia diversifolia 6 cutting bare root nodes

Mexican sunflowers, Tithonia diversifolia 6 cutting bare root nodes. 🌱 Growing Information • Climate & Zones: • Best in USDA Zones 9–11 as a perennial. • Grown as an annual in cooler zones. • Tolerates heat, poor soil, and drought once established. • Growth Habit: • Can reach 4–6 ft tall (T. rotundifolia) or 10–15 ft tall (T. diversifolia, the giant perennial type). • Bright yellow daisy-like flowers attract butterflies, bees, and pollinators. • Soil: Thrives in poor, sandy, or depleted soils — often used as a green manure/compost crop because it accumulates nutrients (especially nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium). • Sunlight: Full sun. • Watering: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established. 🌼 How to Use • Garden/Permaculture: • Grow as a pollinator plant, hedge, or living fence. • Cut-and-drop mulch or compost activator (high in nutrients). • Traditional medicine: • Leaves made into teas or poultices in folk medicine (should be used cautiously and under guidance, as safety data is limited). • Livestock: • Small amounts of dried or fresh leaves fed to goats, rabbits, and cattle as supplemental fodder. • Ornamental: • Bright yellow/orange flowers for cut arrangements. • Great for attracting monarch butterflies and pollinators.

Pomona Park, Florida

There are many great homesteading, gardening, & living-off-the-land type of communities for sharing pictures, experiences, knowledge, and advice. But at best, these only offer a state-level forum or chat, so there’s no way to know who is in YOUR zipcode and what they are selling, giving away, or wanting to buy. OffTheLand acts as an enhancement/extension to these existing communities, to allow people to interact with like-minded folks in their local zipcode.
