Spring Farm Upgrades: Enhancing Life for Our Flock

March 1, 2024

Greetings from the Farm!

As we navigate through the twists and turns of rollercoaster weather, we're thrilled to share some exciting updates from the heart of our farm. With spring in full swing, we're diving headfirst into a series of farm improvement projects, each one aimed at enhancing the lives of our flock.

The Heart of the Farm: Our Chicken Brooder

First up on our list of upgrades is our chicken brooder barn. This humble structure plays a vital role in welcoming our day-old chicks to the farm, providing them with a safe and consistent environment to thrive. With fluctuating weather patterns posing a challenge for our young poultry, it's more important than ever to ensure they have a cozy space to call home during their formative weeks.

Investing in the Future

While farm improvements may come with their own set of challenges, we believe they're essential for the well-being of our animals and the sustainability of our operation. Despite the financial strain that often accompanies such projects, we knew it was time to take the leap and give our brooder barn the facelift it deserves.

Looking Ahead: Mobile Hoop Houses

But we're not stopping there! Our vision for a brighter future includes mobile hoop houses for our pastures, offering our birds more freedom and flexibility to roam and forage. With each step forward, we're making chores a little easier and creating a win-win situation for both our feathered friends and our dedicated team.

Join Us on the Journey

We're excited to share our progress with you every step of the way! Keep an eye out for videos, pictures, and updates as we embark on these transformative projects this spring. Your interest and support mean the world to us, and we're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to connect with you and share the story behind the food that nourishes us all.

Thank you for being a part of our farm family!

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.
