Was surprised by 8 new baby chicks over the weekend. It’s always fun to watch a hen raise them vs getting hatched chicks.

Exciting news! My book, Life Out There, is officially live on Amazon! 📚🌾 This book is a collection of stories and lessons learned from years of farming, homesteading, and living close to the land in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

If you’re into farming, homesteading, or just enjoy memoirs with a focus on the Lean mindset, this book has something for you! Inside, you’ll find a mix of humor, grit, and heartwarming moments that come from life on the farm—raising animals, facing down predators, and embracing the beauty and challenges of a rural life.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey, especially my family, who’s been right there with me every step of the way. Head over to Amazon to grab your copy today and join us in Life Out There! 🌿🐓🐖

New Pup On Patrol
Around a year ago we lost our guardian dog Esther. We had no idea how much she did for the farm until she was gone.

Sunday we brought home this beautiful girl. She is a Great Pyrenees and Anatolian mix. She is super chill and you can already see her instincts kicking in watching over the goats. Jenny has named her Honey.

Today we picked up Billy the Kid. Had to pick up Lyndsey at LU afterwards and he was a hit riding around in the back.

I was greeted by a bobcat when I stepped outside for work this morning. They always sound creepy but even more so when they are less than a hundred yards away.
