Meet the animals Monday! 🐷
Two of our cutest animals on the farm HAVE to be Kevin Bacon & Norman Oinkwell 🥰
We got these two cuties in February & they are already growing so fast!
But spoiler! We just found out that Kevin is A GIRL 🎀😬
Kevin has always been Miss Congeniality of the farm & wants to be your best friend. She is always down for some scratches & snuggles.
Norman took a bit longer to warm up to us but he has since turned into the sweetest boy who loves attention (& watermelon!)
These two are escape artists & can regularly be found roaming the farm finding snacks to eat & playing with their best friend, Mabel! 💕
Don’t worry, these two are purely ornamental & won’t be ending up on anyone’s dinner plate!

The Magic of Microgreens ✨
We decided to start growing microgreens for their health benefits, versatility & because they are so easy to grow! It's our first growing season here on the farm so we wanted to offer something that truly benefits our community while we are still building our garden of fruits & veggies.

The health benefits of Microgreens are INSANE! According to a new US study, microgreens cause the biggest spike in the production of gut-friendly bacteria & contain Sulforaphane which has been shown to stop the growth of cancerous tumors, reduce blood glucose levels, slow down aging & improve brain function! ‼️‼️‼️
Furthermore, microgreens also contain anti-inflammatory properties that reduce oxidative stress - one of the main causes of cardiac disease.
They are also FULL of beneficial nutrients such a Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Lutein & Iron.

Right now, we have a mild Salad Mix of Microgreens as well as Spicy Salad Mix that contains arugula & mustard for a mild zing.

One of my favorite ways to use our Salad Mix is to simply add it to green smoothies in the morning! It's something that both me & my little man enjoy (+ it's a great way to get him to eat some veggies!)

It's important to know what you are supporting.
The USDA & many "corporate" food producers want you to believe that "cage free" chickens & eggs are better for you AND better for the animals but when you understand what that truly means - you may think otherwise.

Free-range eggs & chickens typically come at a premium in the grocery store but when these items are labeled "free-range" most of the time they barely even have access to the outdoors. The USDA only requires they have a pop hole to the outdoors so they can stick their head out 🤯 but they can't physically go outside at all so these hens never even see the light of day.

The more we dive into the rabbit hole of large-scale food production, the more important it is that we shop local & support local farmers so we can vote for what we allow with the energy of our dollars.

Interacting with our food systems takes many forms throughout our lives. The answer to knowing where your food comes from will look different for all of us. That may be educating yourself on the true meaning of food labels or it may mean shopping with local farms or it may mean raising your own.

My answer to this question was the decision to raise our own. We went from 6 chickens in our backyard in the city to now a flock of nearly 50 here at our Farmstead in the country! I love watching our flock interact with each other & the Earth. And it's so fun to see all of their different colors & eggs! There is truly never a dull moment here on the farm.

We offer our farm fresh, TRULY free-range eggs for sale & they come in the most beautiful colors! Shop online at https://foxyfarmstead.square.site

P.S. - if we get enough weekly demand, we may start offering a once per week delivery service for eggs & farm goodies!

Today is my birthday 🎉
As someone who makes dessert for a living, I’m always asked if I make my own birthday cake. And the answer is always YES.
I recently made this Lemon Ooey Gooey Butter Cake & it might be the cake I make for the years to come. It’s one of my favorite recipes!
The best part? It’s super simple to make & you probably already have the ingredients! Add some edible flowers to the top for some added Springtime beauty! Pansies & violets are in season right now as they love the cooler temps - they are a mild & hardy flower perfect for the garden & the kitchen. 🌸🎂

Lemon Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Recipe

Ingredients:
1 Box White or Yellow Cake Mix
1 Box Lemon Pudding Mix
1 Egg
16 T (8oz) Melted Salted Butter, divided
8oz Cream Cheese
2 Eggs
1 T Vanilla
16oz (4 C) Powdered Sugar
Zest & Juice from 1 lemon

Part 1: Make the crust
In a large bowl, mix the Cake Mix, Lemon Pudding Mix, 1 Egg & 8T (4oz) of melted butter until well incorporated. Prepare a baking pan (I used a 9in springform pan but you can also use a 9x13 pan) by lightly greasing the bottom & edges. Pour the cake mix mixture into the pan & press down lightly until it's evenly spread & smooth.

Part 2: Make the filling
With an electric mixer, mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, lemon zest & juice, remaining melted butter & vanilla. Mix until smooth. Add powdered sugar.
Pour this mixture on top of the crust in your prepared baking dish. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar & enjoy!

Good morning!!
Happy Friday, Facebook fam!
Spring has officially sprung on the farm & we couldn’t be more excited!

✨Some updates:
We decided to change the farm name to “Foxy Farmstead” - some of you may know of my late horse, Foxy. She was the one that first initiated my love of the outdoors, the farm lifestyle & was just overall my first love 💕

We now have LOTS of farm fresh eggs! A lot of our new hens are laying & we are expecting more to start laying in the coming weeks. Our chickens all free range on the property & the eggs come in some beautiful colors!

The gardens have started to blossom! We have microgreens with edible flowers available now along with limited quantities of plant starts.

We will start offering some hand made kitchen, home & beauty offerings inspired by & made with items from the farm!

I made a little online store for our goodies for sale - it’s pretty basic for now but hopefully we can expand it eventually as well as offer a little farm stand on the weekends. Stay tuned 😍

Our first snowday at the farm!
We made sure all our animals were fed, watered & cozy 🥰 Then we played in the snow, threw snowballs to Hank & baked Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins together! It’s been the perfect ending to our first holiday at the farmstead ✨

Golden hour in the country ❤️

The best antidote to exhaustion, stress, anxiety, anger & sadness? Nature 🌿

Feeling sad? Watch the sunrise. Feeling upset? Take a walk at the park. Feeling stressed? Spend time in nature. Feeling anxious? Slow down in nature. Basically the answer to everything is nature. ✨
