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.
Father’s Day weekend had us bouncing between markets, chores, and sunshine, but a simple lunch together reminded me how lucky I am to be surrounded by the men who shaped this farm and continue to shape the people on it. Their strength, wisdom, and way of connecting with others come straight from a life spent working the land. This reflection gathers those moments around the table and the quiet lessons they carry.
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 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.
Spring is in full swing here on the farm, and we’re busy with all the seasonal work—planting seeds, harvesting chickens, and welcoming new piglets and lambs. We’ve also made some updates to our turkey program and are preparing for a busy farmers market season. There’s a lot happening, and we’re grateful to have you along for the journey. To see what’s been going on, take a moment to read the full blog post!
Life on the farm keeps us close to the rhythms of the Earth, with all the learning, mending, and celebrating that comes with it. Every season asks something different of us, yet each one reminds us why we choose this way of living. If you’re curious how we try to create a place where people, animals, and land move with purpose together, the new video gives a quiet glimpse.
Raising multiple species year-round means every space on the farm has a purpose, and sometimes those purposes shift with the seasons. This story follows how our lambs moved into the chicken brooder for winter and how the sheep now graze the same ground the chickens enriched last fall. If you want to see how it all comes together, we’ve got a short video that brings those moments to life.
It’s been an eventful month on the farm, with a late-night break-in at the Meat Shed and an unexpected interview that sent us back to our roots. Both moments left us thinking about trust, community, and the story we’ve been building for generations. If you’re curious what happened and want a peek at the raw questions from that interview, this post is a good place to start.
