A snow day, a big game, and chicken wings on the table. We tried our new fully cooked buffalo wings for the first time and loved how easy they were to make in the air fryer, with great flavor to match. If you’re looking for a simple, protein-forward option, we offer two kinds of wings, party-cut or fully cooked buffalo, and both work well in the oven or air fryer. The only real difference is the cook time, and you can find the recipe for both here.
On a blustery winter day in Southwest Michigan, the farm keeps moving. From early-morning chores to a crockpot full of stew, this is a look at what pasture-based farming really means when the pastures are covered in snow. Winter doesn’t pause the work, but it does reveal the quiet, steady care behind how this food is raised.
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.
From choosing the main holiday meal to covering the in-between moments and last-minute gifts, this guide reflects how we’re planning our own holidays on the farm.
We’ve been working on something new that brings our farm together with a few local makers we trust. It started as a small idea that grew through conversations and shared values, and now it’s ready. We’re calling it the Farm & Craft Sausage Series, a seasonal collaboration that pairs our pasture-raised pork with the craft of our partners.
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. Now that the season has settled, she’s ready to share what’s been on her heart. Here’s where her gratitude led her.
