Greetings from the Farm!

Exciting news from our neck of the woods: we're gearing up to welcome our newest arrivals – a fresh batch of day-old chicks! But before they arrive, we've been hard at work updating their new home – our upgraded chicken brooder.

Why the Brooder's Makeover Matters

What is a chicken brooder? These safe spaces are where our young chicks spend their first few weeks, getting used to farm life before spreading their wings outdoors. We've learned lessons over many years, facing challenges with predators and temperature swings.

A Team Effort

But fear not – we're not ones to shy away from a challenge! With input from our dedicated team, we've brainstormed solutions and invested in automatic feeding and watering systems. These upgrades not only make life easier for our farmers but also help welcome healthy chicks to the farm.

Putting Care First

Just like parenting, consistency is key when it comes to chicken care. By streamlining our daily routines, we're striving to provide the best start for our feathered friends. 

What's on the Horizon?

The chicks journey doesn't end in the brooder. As stewards of the land, we'll be introducing these chicks to the pastures soon. So stay tuned for more updates from the farm – there's always something new on the horizon!

So many eggs...

In our latest blog, Renee reflects on the rhythm of the New Year, finding steadiness not in perfect resolutions but in simple, nourishing meals shared at home. From easy weeknight dinners to a filling egg casserole that carried the family through busy days, she shares how cooking with intention, and leaning into an abundance of farm eggs this season, helps keep everyone well fed and grounded through winter.

Real Food for a Stronger Year

Each new year brings a lot of noise about who we should be and how we should live. For the past few years, Renee has chosen to step away from resolutions and instead hold onto a single word that helps guide the year ahead. This reflection looks back at what last year’s word revealed, why simple and steady habits still matter, and how those ideas shaped something new we’re sharing from the farm as we move into another year together.

Christmas 2025

The weeks around Christmas are some of the fullest of our year. Full freezers, full days, full hearts. As we moved through the rush of holiday orders, winter chores, and time gathered around tables with people we love, we were reminded why this work and these moments matter. This reflection looks back on a season of hard work, shared meals, and deep gratitude, both on the farm and at home, as we step into a new year.
