Share cards

Six cards, six real milestones, and nothing that says look at me.

A share card is generated when something has actually happened rather than when a marketing calendar would like it to have. Six of them exist, all in the house chapter grammar, and every one carries a number rather than an adjective.

Worth saying out loud

The six, as they actually render.

Every card carries the chapter it belongs to, a number, and a date. None of them carries a price, a discount code or a referral link.

Brewing

My barley is now beer

Patch B4, batch 0114, eleven months

The Diddly Squat Estate
November 2025 The single most shared card here, and the only one people ask for by name.
Plotting

The patch came good

25kg of flour, from 0.25 of an acre

The Diddly Squat Estate
September 2026 Generated at delivery, not at purchase. It marks the end rather than the start.
Belonging

Three years in the parish

The one badge nobody can buy

The Diddly Squat Estate
March 2027 Awarded on account age alone. A free member gets it on the same day as anybody else.
Plotting

The bad year

The durum made under two tonnes

The Diddly Squat Estate
August 2025 The admission. It is the second most shared card, which nobody expected.
Maturing

Cask 0231, filled

125 litres at 63.5%, out in 2029

The Diddly Squat Estate
July 2023 A card for something that will not be finished for six more years.
Schooling

Somebody else’s year

One apprenticeship, funded

The Diddly Squat Estate
September 2026 The only card here where the achievement belongs to somebody else entirely.

The copy button puts the words on your clipboard. Nothing is posted anywhere on your behalf and there is no connection to any social account.

The line

Why a share card must never carry a discount code.

The commercially obvious move is to put a referral link on every card. It would work, briefly, and it would convert every one of these from a thing somebody wanted to say into an advertisement they were tricked into distributing.

The moment a card carries a code, the person posting it is doing marketing, and everybody who sees it knows. That is the difference between a friend telling you about a farm and a friend being paid to.

So the cards carry a number and a date and the estate’s name in eight-point type at the bottom, and the referral scheme lives on a completely different page where it is honest about what it is.

Six triggers

When each card is generated.

CardFired byNot by
My barley is now beer A patch reference matched to a brewed batch number Buying the patch
The patch came good Delivery of the produce The harvest, which is earlier and less certain
Three years in the parish Account age passing three years Anything you spent
The bad year The substitution policy actually triggering A poor season generally
Cask filled The fill record arriving from the warehouse The purchase
Somebody else’s year An apprentice completing a funded year The donation
Four rules

Copy the words

The button copies text. Nothing is posted for you, anywhere.

No codes

No referral link, no discount, no tracking parameter.

The chapter grammar

Each card names the chapter it belongs to, in the house system.

Preview before you share

Which is why they are all on this page rather than a surprise.

Wondering

Share cards, questioned.

No. Every card is generated from an event in your record, which is the only thing that makes them worth anything.

We know a card was generated and that the copy button was pressed. We have no idea where it went and no connection to any social account.

You can write whatever you like around them. The card itself is fixed, because a card with editable text on it is a meme generator with our name at the bottom.

Because it is the truest one, and because a set of share cards containing only good news is an advertisement rather than a record.

The badges behind them.

Sixteen marks, seven earned, none of which unlocks anything.

The estate list

First sight of every drop

The things that sell out do it in minutes. This is the only warning anyone gets.

Snooping, briefly.

We use a small number of cookies to keep your basket upright and to work out which pages people actually read. We do not sell anything about you to anyone, because that would be a rotten way to behave.
