We’re excited to announce that The Ohse Homestead now accepts Goldbacks as a form of payment!
As part of our commitment to building a more sustainable, resilient, and freedom-minded local economy, we’re happy to support alternative currencies like the Goldback. Whether you’re buying our pasture-raised pork, fresh eggs, or other farm products, you can now pay with this beautiful and innovative form of real gold money.
What Are Goldbacks?
Goldbacks are a spendable, interchangeable form of physical gold made with cutting-edge technology. Each Goldback contains a precise amount of 24-karat gold—layered between durable polymer sheets—making them both beautiful and resilient.
Unlike traditional coins or bullion, Goldbacks are designed to be used for everyday purchases. They come in small denominations (1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 Goldbacks), with each note containing a fractional amount of gold by weight. This makes it easy to use gold for regular transactions, without needing to break a large coin or deal with fluctuating market prices.
Goldbacks are accepted at hundreds of small businesses across several states, and now, they’re welcome here at The Ohse Homestead too!
Why Accept Goldbacks?
We believe in honest money, local trade, and supporting systems that give people more choice and control. Goldbacks are privately issued and backed by gold, not fiat currency or debt. They’re a powerful tool for anyone who values:
- Tangible wealth
- Local trade and barter
- A decentralized, inflation-resistant currency
If you already use Goldbacks, bring them along next time you stop by the farm. If you’re curious about them, feel free to ask us—we’re happy to show you one and share how they work!
How to Pay with Goldbacks at Our Farm
Just like cash, we’ll calculate your total, and you can pay with a combination of Goldbacks and/or U.S. dollars. We use the current Goldback-to-dollar exchange rate, which is published daily at Goldback.com or available from us when you visit.
We hope this gives our customers more flexibility and another way to support local, ethical farming.
