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!

Harvest Time is Here!

Harvest time in July? Last October, we planted soft red wheat, and now it's time to reap the benefits! Growing wheat may not be the most profitable, but it plays a crucial role in our crop rotation and provides quality straw for our animals. Discover how this choice helps us build healthier soil and a more sustainable farm.

Bacon on the brain...

Like many, we’re all about bacon, but sometimes we run into shortages. Discover why and explore some delicious alternatives while we work to meet the demand. Thank you for being part of our farming journey!

Happy Independence Day, America

Join us as we recount a small-town Independence Day filled with community parades, reconnecting with old friends, and sharing a feast of slow-roasted pork shoulder and chorizo. From kids' games to a dazzling fireworks finale, this day was a beautiful reminder of the spirit of freedom and the joy of togetherness. Happy Independence Day from our farm to your family.
