Some of our best family moments on the farm are spent caring for the turkeys. We chase and gather any birds that perched and wandered overnight, and chat with them to amuse ourselves with the flock’s response to whatever noise we come up with that day. These beautiful birds are spreading natural fertilizer on the soil, contributing to a vibrant farm ecosystem, and providing nourishment for all of us in the late Fall.

Deer Harvest & Lemons

Deer Harvest & Lemons

A rough cut on the meat slicer forced our family to slow down, reshuffle chores, and step into moments we might’ve otherwise missed.

It’s a story about how hardship can open the door to unexpected joy, and the way those small, shared experiences shape us.

Fall Beef Update 2025

Our grass-fed beef program has grown slowly and intentionally over the years, shaped by different breeds, plenty of trial and error, and a whole lot of care for the land. From Chloe the snowbank calf to the Herefords finishing on cover crops today, the herd has become a big part of our farm’s rhythm.
