A Peek into Our Garden Life

We spend most of our days working in the fields, or in the office; moving livestock, managing people, filing paperwork, and doing the kind of work that keeps our farm thriving. But just a tumble down the classic sledding hill that our home sits atop is another little world growing every day - our home garden.

It’s not fancy, and it’s mostly imperfect, but it’s always full of life.  Tomatoes are climbing cages, cucumbers sneak through the fence, and the peas curl and twist in knots around hog panels. Kids run barefoot down the rows of growing food, while bunnies dare to hop towards their next munch of cabbage.  

The garden is a space where we work together, yell together, and hopefully laugh together. We let the kids learn by action - pulling weeds, spotting bugs, playing pretend, noticing the way a plant changes from one day to the next. There’s science in the soil and lessons in every row.

We’re sharing a short video of our gardens’ journey this week, from the beginning turn of the soil, to the overgrown madness from this weekend.  We hope you enjoy the peek into this little corner of our life on the farm.

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.
