Happy world bee day!! Did you know
Bees help provide 1 in 3 bites of food we eat?

Bee & Pollinator Statistics

75% of the world’s food crop types depend at least in part on pollinators for production. That includes many fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.

About 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat exists because of pollinators. Think apples, blueberries, almonds, pumpkins, coffee, and chocolate.

Three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants rely on animal pollinators to reproduce. Bees are essential for biodiversity—not just food crops.

There are over 20,000 species of bees worldwide—and most of them are native bees, not honeybees.

In the U.S., more than 3,500 species of native bees help pollinate plants and crops.

Pollinators affect about 35% of global crop production by volume.

Scientists found that 1/3 to 2/3 of farms worldwide may not be reaching full yields because of insufficient pollination.

Some recent surveys found U.S. beekeepers reported winter honeybee colony losses above 60% in some years—a major concern for agriculture.

Protecting bees means protecting our food supply.

Hello neighbors and friends! I have had a couple of tree care companies bring me out loads of chips/mulch. My preschooler nature study class absolutely loves these! I need to use this for mulching several things on the farm and my kids are not going to be happy whenever the pile is gone.

I need more chips / mulch!!!

If you know anyone who needs a dump spot please have them reach out to me. We can also take logs! We have plenty of space and are only a few miles north of Charlestown.

Pasture-Raised. Regeneratively Farmed. Unmatched Flavor.

Every day, our chickens are moved to fresh pasture where they scratch, forage, and soak up the sunshine—living the way chickens were meant to live. As part of our regenerative farming practices, they help nourish the land while thriving on it.

The result? Chicken that’s richer in flavor, better for your family, and raised with care from start to finish.

Our customers say it’s the best they’ve ever tasted—and we think you’ll agree.

👉 Whole chickens available for pre-order through our website.

Don’t miss your chance to fill your freezer with truly exceptional chicken.

He is risen indeed!
The stone was rolled away, death was defeated, and hope was restored forever.

“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” — Luke 24:5–6

“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” — John 11:25

Because He lives, we have new life, new hope, and a reason to rejoice today and always.

Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday.
