Farmhouse Repair + Renovation Mini Series —
Part 6: My Favorite Part of the Kitchen

This built-in hutch has always been one of my favorite parts of the kitchen, so getting it cleaned up, styled, and put back together felt like one of those little milestones I had really been looking forward to.

After months of repairs, furniture being moved around, and the floor around this area being literally ripped down to the joists, it was nice to finally put something back exactly where it belonged.

It’s one of those parts of the kitchen I’ve always loved, and seeing it set back up made the room feel like home again ❤️

Now tell me — what’s your favorite part of the hutch? What catches your eye first? 👇

We’re almost two weeks away from our next monthly market!

And in keeping with our usual last Saturday of the month schedule, October 31 just happens to be the day this time around.

From 8:30–11:30 AM, the farm store will be open, our vendors will be set up, and we’ll also be offering one of our farm tours at 9:30 AM for those who want a closer look at what happens beyond the store.

If you’ve ever wanted to see more of the farm, learn how we raise our animals, and hear more about the work that goes into producing the food you take home, this is a great opportunity to come out and see it firsthand.

Farm Tour — 9:30 AM
Tour tickets can be purchased inside the farm store that morning.

We’ll also have a great lineup of local vendors joining us with farm-made foods, microgreens and mushrooms, sheep dairy products, skincare, kombucha, honey products, sauces, jams, and more.

And of course, we’ll have our own pasture-raised meats and farm goods available too.

Saturday, October 31
Market: 8:30–11:30 AM
Farm Tour: 9:30 AM

Mark it down, make plans to spend the morning with us, and bring somebody along!

And do us a favor — share this post so we can get the word out and reach more families who might enjoy a morning at the farm. ❤️

Today, Augustus had the opportunity to teach the ladies of the St. Clair County Farmers Federation Women's Leadership Committee all about terrariums and how to make them. At just 9 years old, he did an awesome job, and we sure are proud of him! ❤️

When we gave him the option a couple of months ago, he didn’t hesitate. He was ready to take it on—and today, he knocked it out of the park.
Standing in front of a group and teaching takes courage!

Thank you to the ladies for having him today, encouraging him, and giving him this experience. Opportunities like this help shape the young man he’s becoming, and we’re grateful you gave him a place to learn and grow.

Way to go, buddy. We sure do love you! ❤️

Farm Store Friday is back this week! 🍂

We hope you’re making plans to come out and shop for your fall favorites! Word in the weather world is that we’re in for a beautiful fall weekend, and that sounds like perfect weather for firing up the grill, enjoying some good food, and watching the big games! 🏈

We’ve got a great selection of our pasture-raised chicken, 100% grass-finished lamb, and a few remaining cuts of our grain-finished beef ready for your table!

And while we’re talking about what’s available, make sure you’re subscribed to our emails! We’ve got an announcement coming soon, and our email subscribers are always the first to know what’s happening here on the farm. 👀

But for now, we have a little favor to ask!

Share this post and tag someone who loves good food, supporting local families, and knowing where their food comes from! ❤️

Word of mouth means so much to small family farms like ours, and every share helps us reach another family who may not know we’re here.

Come see us Friday! We’ll be here from 9:30 AM–12 PM, and we’d love to see you!

If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “You don’t plant trees for yourself. You plant them for future generations,” this is exactly what it means.

Honestly, you could replace trees with farming and it would still hold true.

A lot of what we do here may never benefit us as much as it benefits the generations coming behind us.

I know that firsthand because I’m a third-generation farmer myself. So much of what made this life possible for me was the labor of love that came before me — people working, building, improving, and caring for land and livestock without always being the ones who would see the full benefit of it.

That’s farming in a lot of ways. You’re continually setting things up for the next generation.

We may never get the full use out of these fruit trees the way our boys will. We may never see the full potential of the family land we recently purchased, because there is still a whole lot of work ahead of us to bring it back into production.

But that’s okay.

Because the work we do today is laying a foundation for the opportunities they may have tomorrow.

And that’s one of the greatest blessings of raising boys on a farm.

Today, they were on the excavator drilling holes for fruit trees with their daddy. Years from now, I hope they can look back and remember this season — not just the work, but the time spent together, the things they learned, and the privilege of growing up with their hands in something that mattered.

Maybe one day they’ll stand beside one of these same trees with their own children and say, “I helped plant that with your granddaddy.”

That’s the kind of thing you don’t really measure in years.

You measure it in generations. ❤️

Farmhouse Repair + Renovation Mini Series — Part 5: Moving Back In

After months of tearing things apart, fixing, cleaning, waiting, and putting things back together, we finally got to start moving back into our bedroom.

First came vacuuming the new floors, mopping, and tackling the blinds… which were absolutely covered in construction dust.

And I’m not even going to pretend they started out spotless. 😉😂

Then came the rug, the furniture, the bed, and slowly watching the room start to feel like ours again.

There’s something really satisfying about putting a room back together after living through construction for months. Even the simple stuff feels exciting again.

And then, just when I thought we were wrapping this one up nice and peacefully, the mattress protector decided to pick a fight with the ceiling fan.

My scream. Josh’s face. 😂

Probably the most accurate ending possible for this whole renovation season.

Part 5: Moving Back In

Next up: getting the rest of this house back in order. 🏡

If you’re ready for our pork to be back in stock… so are we! 😂

Brats were on our supper table tonight, and honestly, they’re about all that’s left in the farm store’s pork selection, too. We’re just as eager as y’all to have more of our pasture-raised pork to choose from!

The countdown is on! Only a few weeks now! 🙌

But there’s still a good supper to be had while we wait. We have a few flavors of brats available online and in the farm store—raised by our family and enjoyed at our own table, too. ❤️

A reminder that the farm store is closed tomorrow, October 9, but online ordering is open! Grab a few packs and get supper covered while we count down to that pork restock.

What cut of pork are you most excited to see back in stock? Tell us what you’ve been waiting for! 👇
