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.
Spring is starting to show itself around the farm, and those early signs always feel like a deep breath after winter. New lambs, fresh chicks, and the first green blades remind us how each season builds on the last. This post takes a closer look at those small, hopeful moments and the way everything on the farm works together as the seasons turn.
To round out this wonderful winter, we wanted to share some tips and tricks for enjoying all of the best comfort meats on the farm. To choose a favorite cut on this list is almost impossible, but I’d have to say the family favorite is the boneless pork shoulder roast. When cooked low & slow, you can enjoy the perfect pork roast paired with veggies, make a flavorful gravy, or use for sandwiches & tacos too.
Every year, I choose a word to champion the next year on the farm. This farm blog shares insight into my word for 2024, and introduces the new word to remember for 2025.
To recap a whole year into one short blog feels like a lot of pressure. I am bound to miss some of the best moments of the year, while ignoring some of the hard challenges tackled. At the same time, life on the farm can feel incredibly similar one day to the next when living outside of the moments. But I do understand my worst attempt will be better than nothing, so here it goes.
