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

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.
