We thrive when the Earth is celebrated. To celebrate Earth we must care, mend, heal, and nurture. We must go through trials, make mistakes, gain insight, acknowledge human-nature, ignite animal instincts, encourage growth, rejoice with birth, and honor in death. Life is a continuous reminder of the environment in which we live, a balancing act between natural cycles, and disasters. Life carries the weight of the world, while feeling as light as a feathery seed floating in a subtle spring breeze. To celebrate Earth is to live with purpose, and we choose to live on the farm.

Enjoy the latest on the farm video highlighting the ways we strive to create a place where the people, animals, and land work together.

Thanksgiving 2025

As the rush of turkey week faded, your farmer Renee finally had a moment to breathe and gather her thoughts. Writing in the middle of the chaos didn’t feel right, so she waited for a quieter moment. Now that the season has settled, she’s ready to share what’s been on her heart. Here’s where her gratitude led her.

Deer Harvest & Lemons

A rough cut on the meat slicer forced our family to slow down, reshuffle chores, and step into moments we might’ve otherwise missed. One of those moments led us into the woods together, where the kids learned what it means to harvest an animal with respect and the adults gathered around firelight swapping wisdom and laughter. It’s a story about how hardship can open the door to unexpected joy, and the way those small, shared experiences shape us.

Fall Beef Update 2025

Our grass-fed beef program has grown slowly and intentionally over the years, shaped by different breeds, plenty of trial and error, and a whole lot of care for the land. From Chloe the snowbank calf to the Herefords finishing on cover crops today, the herd has become a big part of our farm’s rhythm. This update shares how the program has evolved, why prices look the way they do, and what it means to raise beef in a way that supports the soil, the animals, and you.
