Turkey week.
Good ol’ turkey week.
We raise, harvest, sort and invoice for these birds once a year.
The shift from farmers market madness to meat drop mode seems sudden, yet we are prepared.
The office is full of paperwork from one table to the next.
Fingers are hitting keyboards, creating a white noise into nightfall.
We are eager to serve every customer.
Our hearts are as full as our minds.
It’s turkey week.
We are grateful.
Each new year brings a lot of noise about who we should be and how we should live. For the past few years, Renee has chosen to step away from resolutions and instead hold onto a single word that helps guide the year ahead. This reflection looks back at what last year’s word revealed, why simple and steady habits still matter, and how those ideas shaped something new we’re sharing from the farm as we move into another year together.
The weeks around Christmas are some of the fullest of our year. Full freezers, full days, full hearts. As we moved through the rush of holiday orders, winter chores, and time gathered around tables with people we love, we were reminded why this work and these moments matter. This reflection looks back on a season of hard work, shared meals, and deep gratitude, both on the farm and at home, as we step into a new year.
We won an award! We are thankful and honored the Cass County Conservation District recognized Renee Seelye with the Ag Educator of the Year award for 2025. In December Renee & Nick were able to attend the Conservation Districts' monthly board meeting to meet some of the team members behind the program, and accept the award.
