Happy 8th anniversary to us!

I’m so thankful to have Nolan as my partner through marriage, raising our three kiddos, running Feathered Acres, and all the chaos that comes with farm life.

We’ve built a pretty great life together, and I can’t imagine doing it with anyone else. Here’s to eight years and many more!

Please take a read at this article. It highlights the issue at hand. As farmers we support proposition 12 in the fam bill as it gives more farmers the opportunity to actually farm and consumers more choices on how their food is raised!

At our farm, we are a non-confinement and we sell into a specialty market. We sell to a company called Niman Ranch, our values and their values align with focusing on a non-confinement system on our farm. That means we do not confine our pigs at all during their life. They have 24/7 access to the outdoors.

Please share! We want to allow all farmers to be able to farm! Whether your pro confinement or non confinement we should all want each other to succeed!

A California ballot measure has reshaped American pig farming, driven up pork prices and sparked a yearslong fight in Congress over who gets to set the rules for how pigs are raised.

Our lamb shares are officially open!

Our pasture-raised lamb is available for $12 / lb hanging weight, including processing.

Our sheep are raised through regenerative farming practices and rotationally grazed across our pastures. Moving them regularly gives them access to fresh forage while helping improve soil health, cycle nutrients, and support a healthier farm ecosystem.

The result is high-quality, flavorful lamb raised with care from our farm to your family’s table.

Quantities are limited, so place your deposit to reserve your whole lamb!

These surely are the golden days on the farm. Esther is six, Burke is three, and Elmer just turned seven months.

Our path into regenerative farming has been such a learning experience. Nolan and I are both agronomists and earned our degrees from North Dakota State University. Learning about and implementing regenerative practices has definitely been challenging, but it has also been incredibly rewarding.

Over the past six years, we have watched our farm make so much progress. Planting cover crops has helped keep living roots in the soil, reduce erosion, improve water infiltration, build organic matter, and create healthier fields for our crops and livestock. We are seeing more earthworms, more than double the organic matter in our soil, and so much more wildlife. Watching these changes happen has been truly inspirational.

We have graduated our pigs out to pasture and added sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and pasture-raised meat chickens. All of these soil health practices, combined with integrating livestock, have helped create such a wonderful ecosystem on our farm.

But the most beautiful part of all of it has been doing it together.

Come join us this Sunday for a hands-on butchery class! June 7th

Learn how to break down a whole chicken, build your knife skills, and better understand different cuts of meat. Our wonderful butcher, Brendan Loch, will also be doing beef/hog & breakdown demonstrations and teaching you how to confidently order pork, beef, and chicken from a butcher. You will get to breakdown your own chicken and take home some meat! 💪🏼

It’s a great class for anyone who wants to feel more confident in the kitchen and understand where their meat comes from.
