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

Comfort Foods Meat Guide

To round out this wonderful winter, we wanted to share some tips and tricks for enjoying all of the best comfort meats on the farm. To choose a favorite cut on this list is almost impossible, but I’d have to say the family favorite is the boneless pork shoulder roast. When cooked low & slow, you can enjoy the perfect pork roast paired with veggies, make a flavorful gravy, or use for sandwiches & tacos too.

A Word to Remember

Every year, I choose a word to champion the next year on the farm. This farm blog shares insight into my word for 2024, and introduces the new word to remember for 2025.

A Year to Review

To recap a whole year into one short blog feels like a lot of pressure. I am bound to miss some of the best moments of the year, while ignoring some of the hard challenges tackled. At the same time, life on the farm can feel incredibly similar one day to the next when living outside of the moments. But I do understand my worst attempt will be better than nothing, so here it goes.
