Signs of Spring

The moments leading up to spring each year are exhilarating. Sunshine, baby animals, and blades of green grass point us towards the end of winter.

I often wonder if we’d appreciate the sunshine as much without the cloudy days. Would we respect the life of a ewe as much, without witness to the birth of a lamb? Would we yearn to grow grass without the frosted dead brush?

Each season comes with purpose, and the signs of the next make us look forward while appreciating the now. With arrival of baby chicks, and our flock of sheep grazing the pasture, signs of spring are in full motion.

The baby chicks are living in the same barn where the ewes had their lambs during the icy winter. The sheep are grazing the same pasture that was foraged and fertilized by chickens and turkeys into late Fall.

Everything works together, as we tend to the land, flowing from one season to the next. Spring, we see you coming, and we are thankful.

CREATE & CONQUER

At the start of each year, Renee chooses one word to help set the tone for the months ahead. Last year, that word was CREATE. It wasn’t about chasing a goal or making a big change, but about paying attention to how often creating shows up in everyday life, especially on the farm. As this year wrapped up, choosing the next word took a little more time. With new projects ahead and a few challenges on the horizon, 2026 is already asking for a different kind of focus.
