The Great Reveal

The great reveal as morning comes, when you look out the window and the nightfall lifts the curtain.
The rooster introduces the show with an impressive first act, song and dance atop the narrowing hay elevator.
The cows pay no attention to all the chatter, as they march to the beat of their own drum. It’s too early to graze and the dew still sets atop the blades of grass surrounding.
The goats never sleep and have climbed their second tree of the day, but a sour stomach slows them, as they search for the next mulberry tree in their path to sooth the aches.
Piglets, hundreds of piglets have already ran up and down their mother’s backs eager to explore the earth with their great snout.
Natures pure elegance shifts as a purr ignites and pierces the sound-waves.
A bearded face strolls through the sandy paths atop four wheels. He kneels next to the pools and clutches a hand within the crisp cool water to stir the muck. He collects any bodies that have fell under the heavy night sky; mourns, reflects, and moves onto the next home.
Food stirs a frenzy and comforts a multitude.  
The constant meandering continues until the curtain calls, and daylight surrenders; until the next great reveal.

Sweet Corn Season

Every summer, when the corn gets tall and the heat settles in, we’re reminded of just how much this season means to us. Before the first ear is picked or the signs go up by the roadside, the memories start coming back. Radios playing, quarters clinking, long days at the farmstand. This is a look back and a celebration of how sweet corn season still brings us home.

Why Antibiotic-Free Means More Than You Might Think

When you see “antibiotic-free” on a label, it might seem simple, but there’s a whole lot more behind those words. On our farm, it’s not just a claim. It’s the result of daily choices that prioritize health, animal welfare, and integrity. This blog digs into why that matters, how the system got here, and what we do differently.
