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

Beef In The News

There has been a lot of beef in the news lately. Beef prices are high, cattle numbers are low, and now there is talk about bringing in more imported beef at a discount to help combat prices for consumers. Then, almost in the same breath, there are announcements aimed at helping American farmers and ranchers by addressing some of the processing and market-access challenges we face. Despite what feels like whiplash, anything in the news today - will take it's effect on American farmers overtime, and the outcomes of these decisions will all be determined in due time. So what do these current events mean for our small family farm? And what can you actually do to help American farmers?

Create Your Own Job...

That’s exactly what my parents instilled in us kids growing up on the farm, among many other things. But this one…this one really stuck with me. And I bought into it a little too far, I’ll admit some days, and created a job with responsibility much bigger than I ever dreamed.
