Goodbye to Summer

Enjoying those still small moments…

Is the challenge of Summer.  This summer has felt particularly busier than most, with adding farmers markets, changing team members, maneuvering sow breeding cycles, building turkey brooders, kids’ activities, and weekend travels.  However, I ask, are we really any busier?  Or, have we zoomed past the still small moments to anchor us in time.

And assuredly, God with His beautiful creation — where the sun settles over the hill, grass grows so tall you only notice the six-legged creature as it takes the leap of faith to the next blade, curious piglets walk with their protective mother, soul settling children awe over the most beautiful place to sit on the farm — is our anchor.

Why Antibiotic-Free Means More Than You Might Think

When you see “antibiotic-free” on a label, it might seem simple, but there’s a whole lot more behind those words. On our farm, it’s not just a claim. It’s the result of daily choices that prioritize health, animal welfare, and integrity. This blog digs into why that matters, how the system got here, and what we do differently.

What does "Grass-fed" Mean?

After our recent certification audit, we took some time to reflect on what Certified Grass-fed really means. Not just as a label, but as a commitment. This post explores how and why we raise our cattle and sheep the way we do, and the values behind those choices.

What does "Pasture-Raised" Mean?

What does “pasture-raised” actually mean? It’s a question we hear often—and for good reason. Food labels can be confusing, and not all of them mean what they sound like. But for us, pasture-raised isn’t just a label. It’s the foundation of how we farm. In this post, we’re digging into what pasture-raised looks like on our farm, why it matters for animal welfare, soil health, and nutrition, and how it fits into our larger commitment to regenerative practices and real food.
