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. 

Enjoy this short video on the farm capturing some of the moments, we wish to never forget: https://youtu.be/w7_tHewdmFo

CREATE & CONQUER

At the start of each year, Renee chooses one word to help set the tone for the months ahead. Last year, that word was CREATE. It wasn’t about chasing a goal or making a big change, but about paying attention to how often creating shows up in everyday life, especially on the farm. As this year wrapped up, choosing the next word took a little more time. With new projects ahead and a few challenges on the horizon, 2026 is already asking for a different kind of focus.
