Farm fresh, cage free eggs, and part time pastured poultry! :) This year we will be doing Turkeys! hit us up any time.
For a couple of years, Nikki and I have been gardening and keeping chickens for the best eggs we can get- Farm Fresh. Last year, we decided to upgrade and offer some of our eggs to friends and family. THIS year, we wanted to provide y'all with great tasting, pastured poultry and some veggies (as long as we dont get rained out).
Operating as usual
The insanity of the holiday season is officially upon us.
For me, that is a total compliment for my kiddos. As we get closer and closer to Thanksgiving, as in it’s next week, I realized I should probably update. Ladies and gentleman, let me tell you…
Kiddos keeping me moving!
My crazy and amazing family. They certainly keep me on my toes. With the baby on the way, I’m sure it will only get crazier. Our little social butterfly, Bryn, continues to amaze us. She join…
Oh my goodness! The last few weekends!!!!!
My general hope was that, once we returned from our honeymoon and finished out a couple crazy weeks, we would be able to relax just a little bit more. Or, at the very least, not be running around l…
Our end of August adventure!
The past month or so has passed by insanely quickly and has been extremely busy. The last few days in August we prepared and departed for our long awaited honeymoon adventure. Troy had been plannin…
Celebrating our youngest girl!
Well last week involved more wild and crazy adventures with the family. And anyone who has paid attention to my family can guess EXACTLY who that title refers to. Friday evening we celebrated the g…
To anyone who has been wondering about your little farm animals--this is an ALL animals update.
I have previously mentioned that, due to our new addition that will be showing up early next year, we took to selling some of our chickens. While it was an emotional process, I knew it was for the …
Spoiling our children and our animals.
My kiddos ended up coming home sooner than expected! Which meant we actually got to see Lana on the very day of her birthday. That’s pretty much a first for us. My parents were already planni…
And.....here we go!
As I stated previously, there is some big news to communicate. March 2019 we will have an addition joining our flock. No, we do not plan to go bonkers during Chick Days. No, Troy is not letting me …
Next week...lots of important updates.
There have been quite a few changes being made with our mini farm, so stay tuned.
So, I swear that ONE of these days I will actually take it easy and not pack a million things into a day or weekend. Perhaps sometime in mid-September. Last weekend was baby shower mania. The weeke…
My amazing, insane little family.
How I love them.
This year we decided to do things a bit differently. Every summer we start off the end of June/early July by getting the kiddos for a couple weeks. Normally it involves running around trying to fin…
Chickens of the Wood
Good morning!
We have decided to re-structure the prices for our laying hens. If you have shown interest, please contact us for the NEW LOWER pricing.
I am not currently positive of how many of each type of breed of chicken we have available so if breed is important, let me know since I will be working to separate the rest that we are selling from the hens we are keeping this weekend.
Laying chickens for sale!
Due to some changes our family is undergoing, we will be selling some of our egg producing hens ranging in age from 2 to 4 years old.
There will be a few Rhode Island Red, Barred Rock, White Leghorn and Australorp hens. We will be keeping some specific chickens.
This is a great way to get started if you are interested in keeping a few backyard chickens for some farm fresh eggs without all the difficult work of baby chicks.
If interested, please contact us on pricing, number, type, etc.

Celebrating the 4th of July!!!!
WOW! The last two weeks have been nothing short of insane. So many things going on. However, for right now we shall simply start with the basics. Last week the kiddos came home for their traditiona…
And so it begins.....
As our summer officially kicks off with increased assignments, kiddos out of school, more time with the kids and more exciting events it feels like I may not get a chance to take a deep breath unti…
You know what summer means!
Busy, busy, busy!
Holy guacamole! It appears that summer is officially beginning because things just got CRAZY. The past week feels like it was completely and totally insane even though I’m not sure a whole lo…
Super crazy busy-ness!
Good grief! The past couple weeks have been extraordinarily busy. I suppose as most summers go, it’s pretty much just constant running around like a crazy person. Especially since work decide…
Meat chickens and stress and stuck butts....oh my!
NOTE: To anyone who hasn’t yet noticed, this blog has become more and more personal. I have decided that it will not only cover the farming aspect of our lives but also our family and my pers…
Baseball weekend.
Last week seemed to be all about baseball. I went up and watched Oren’s game on Friday and brought the kids home afterward. The game was lousy. None of the boys had their heads or their heart…
Hoping those wintertime blues have passed! Here's to sunshine and summer.
So last week remained remarkably busy. I suppose that gets to be the trend as summer approaches. The weekend started off with the living room FINALLY getting put back together. After three coats I …
Busy, busy, busy.
This last week was….busy. So busy. It was a slow week at work for me. My assignments that were due were already done and I was at the research, wait and set up meetings stage for my future as…
Weekend with our boy and his first baseball game! :)
Our son came home! Though remarkably uneventful, it did my soul good to have at least one kid home again. Two weeks is just too much. Last week seemed to drag on and take forever. My levels of exha…
Perhaps a little sunshine to end a long, gloomy week.
It has been a bit longer than has become usual which is due in part to the lack of excitement the last week or so as well as a funk I’ve been unable to remove myself from. We waited a while b…
What a crazy weekend!
Last week was mostly cold. It snowed a little bit again. Everyone I know of in northern Indiana is just really ready for spring to officially start. Despite the cold weather, Troy and I ventured ou…
Happy Easter from the Carlson clan!
Joy and happiness abounds–the babies have moved out to the barn! In fact, my husband surprised me by getting it all ready even earlier than expected so we were able to move them out before th…
Easter time approaches! All my kiddos are practically growing right before my eyes.
No matter how old my children seem to get, a good park always seems to put a smile on their faces. Particularly a brand new park. Since I bombed the first Easter egg hunt last weekend by showing up…
Loved spending the weekend with our oldest daughter. Haven't heard this much laughter in ages.
I love all of my children dearly, no doubt about it. But sometimes it is nice to simply get some special, one-on-one time with your kid. Last weekend was Lana’s choice. Since Lana has been as…
So much joy in one single post!!!!!
The little turks are getting so adorable. They’re incredibly curious and friendly about everything. While they have no desire to be picked up and cuddled, they also thoroughly enjoy crawling …
BAAAAAAABIES!!!!!
As previously promised, pictures of my sweet little darlings this week–which includes our new recruits! Six sweet, perfect, wonderful turkeys have joined our bunch. And rather unexpectedly si…
It's that time of year again, folks!!!! After our one year hiatus to get married, we're back in business on a slightly smaller level.
Just brought home these babies today. 🦃
SO, anyone who wants to pre-order a turkey, chickens or duck... hit us up!
Sorry, this one is kind of completely taken up by the kids and Oren's birthday.
I promise our chickens will return next week!
As crummy as portions of this year (yes, I know we’re only two months in) has been, this weekend really seemed to turn it around. HUGE SHOUTOUT to the most amazing boy in the entire world who…
A pretty personal one, but also about all the furry, feathery babies.
Take zero credit, first off. It’s just the song that tends to speak to me when my anxiety/depression levels are feeling pretty overwhelming. This month has been a tad stressful and overwhelmi…
Oh yea. So this is what actual winter is like.
Nearly a couple weeks ago now, REAL Midwestern winter hit us for the first time in a few years. So much snow came in about a week. Poor Lana missed quite a few of her cheerleading games due to her …
This just makes me hungry!!!
This past week has simply grown chillier and snowier. Way more snow is expected this weekend as well. Thankfully last weekend the snow held off until Sunday and Troy and I were able to take our muc…
Keeping it simple.
Since O had to get signed up for baseball and he ended up coming down with the flu, it was just the girls last weekend. And it started off on a very bright and exciting note…cheerleading! The…
