Christmas 2025

We hope you had a very Merry Christmas. We are deeply thankful for each and every one of you who chose to support our farm and feed your families food raised by us.

In the days leading up to the holiday, our hands were full; getting everything into the freezers, packing boxes, coordinating with UPS, and showing up at drops and markets so we could see many of you face to face before heading home to celebrate Christmas with our own families. It’s a full season in every sense of the word.

The fluctuating winter weather has also kept us busy here on the farm; making sure the animals are fed, have access to clean, flowing water, and are bedded down with plenty of dry, fluffy comfort is daily work, no matter the temperature. If you ever find yourself near our farm this time of year, you’ll notice the sheep, pigs, and cattle still grazing and nosing around beneath the snow-blanketed ground. It never gets old watching them thrive in all kinds of weather; it is just as fascinating to watch the men gear up and head out to work right alongside those striking animals, day after day.

The holidays are busy, bustling, and bursting at the seams with responsibility and magic-making; and somehow, we did it.

On a personal note, I attended four family parties in one week; bringing food and gifts to all four, and questioning myself more than once during the preparation. Why do I try to do all of this? The answer always comes later; during fits of laughter around a table full of food and people I deeply care for. In those moments, I am reminded to thank myself for overdoing it, for working late into the night, and for stressing over the small things; because now I get to fully take in the silly, joyful moments that come from gathering a big, loud, loving family together.

How blessed we are to celebrate the birth of our Savior surrounded by decorated trees and wrapped treasures to enjoy throughout the year. How blessed we are to share real, nourishing food; morning, noon, and night. As we step into a new year, I pray for strength, steadiness, and goodness for us all.
