Winter Work On The Farm

February 8, 2024

During the colder months, we make preparations for Spring projects on the farm.  This year we will be expanding our acres of woodlands and pastures for our animals. With mild winters, the animal's impact on the ground is heavier without a good freeze.  We need to give our animals more room to roam to allow more time for the rest of their current access.  As the woods and pastures rest, the soil works its magic regenerating new life to welcome more activity and natural fertilization in the future.

As the rush of turkey week faded, your farmer Renee finally had a moment to breathe and gather her thoughts. Writing in the middle of the chaos didn’t feel right, so she waited for a quieter moment.

The First Six Pigs

Every journey has a beginning. For us it started in 1998 with six pigs, a welded pen in the back of our truck, and a whole lot of determination. What seemed like a crazy idea back then has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined. It is rooted in persistence, trust, and community.

Let's talk Turkey!

Raising turkeys was not something we always planned on, but once we learned how to raise chickens alongside our pigs and cattle, it made sense. Turkeys fit naturally into our pasture system, bringing their own unique benefits to the land while keeping us on our toes with plenty of challenges. What started as an experiment has become one of the most rewarding and humbling parts of our farm.
