The Great Reveal

posted on

October 20, 2023

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.

What does "Grass-fed" Mean?

After our recent certification audit, we took some time to reflect on what Certified Grass-fed really means. Not just as a label, but as a commitment. This post explores how and why we raise our cattle and sheep the way we do, and the values behind those choices.

What does "Pasture-Raised" Mean?

What does “pasture-raised” actually mean? It’s a question we hear often—and for good reason. Food labels can be confusing, and not all of them mean what they sound like. But for us, pasture-raised isn’t just a label. It’s the foundation of how we farm. In this post, we’re digging into what pasture-raised looks like on our farm, why it matters for animal welfare, soil health, and nutrition, and how it fits into our larger commitment to regenerative practices and real food.

Mother's Day Reflections

Mother’s Day has come and gone, but the memories it stirs often linger a little longer. This week, Renee found herself reflecting on the early days of farm life and the quiet strength her mom carried through it all. In her latest blog, she shares vivid memories of riding through the fields, watching her mom care for animals with grit, tenderness, and a kind of courage that shaped everything that followed.
