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

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.

Mother's Day Reflections

Mother’s Day has come and gone, but the memories it stirs often linger a little longer. This week, Renee found herself reflecting on the early days of farm life and the quiet strength her mom carried through it all. In her latest blog, she shares vivid memories of riding through the fields, watching her mom care for animals with grit, tenderness, and a kind of courage that shaped everything that followed.
