Thank you all for a great first season for our little farm stand!

We are shifting our attention to canning and preserving the rest of these garden goodies for our family. We still have a handful of wholesale-style orders to fill for some of our customers. If you're looking for something specific, do feel free to reach out to inquire.

We'll have the daily egg cooler down at the road again, so come by and grab your weekly dozen!

Not every season can be your best season. That's what I keep reminding myself as I plug away at unearthing the most overgrown "market garden" I think I've ever seen. It's row after row of stunted tomatoes and bug-riddled cabbage lost in a sea of weeds that are easily a foot taller than I am. It'd be so easy to walk away, defeated, but I know what this garden can look like and the nourishment and beauty that it's capable of producing.

We had high hopes that we'd return to the farm in the spring of this year, but setback after setback landed us here just as the first hints of fall started to show. Definitely not the plan, but here we are! Time to put our heads down and DO THE WORK. The crystal clear vision that we have for this property and for our family is enough to keep us moving forward.

If you need me, I'll be lost in a sea of pigweed and lamb's quarters. 🫡

You better believe that I'm living my dream, especially on days like today. The part that I never saw coming was how pig-centric the dream life would be. It is such a joy to love on these big beasts and giving them a good, peaceful life while they're in our care. It is also an honor to feed our friends and neighbors food from animals that are raised with reverence.

We still have a half share available from this spring batch of pastured pigs. Always raised 100% on pasture, always fed certified organic feed. Processing day is June 17th, so don't wait much longer to get a deposit in! DM for more information.

EDIT: Only a half share left!

We're officially down to ONE whole share (or two half shares) from our spring batch of organically-raised pastured pork!

Ready to hop on the pastured pork bandwagon? Stock your freezer with a custom-cut whole or half share for the summer months! By purchasing in bulk, you're getting the very best price on our coveted pastured pork, AND you get the added bonus of completely customizing your order to suit your taste. Don't have the freezer space? Find a friend or family member to split a half share with! Only a couple of weeks left until our butcher date, so don't wait! Send us a DM to reserve your share.

A placid family walk to visit the happy pigs this evening. A gorgeous time of the day during such a hopeful time of the year. How fortunate we are is not lost on me.

A peaceful end to a glorious day of good farm stuff.

Big boys on fresh pasture today! It never gets old seeing these big goofy guys waiting at the gate while their new paddock is being set up. They just sit there and talk the whole time with their low, growly grunts. Then the partition fence is dropped, and they zoom into the fresh grass, gobbling down mouthfuls as they explore their new digs. It just never gets old. 🐖🌾

Just a reminder that we have a couple of whole/half hog shares left for our late spring batch! DM for details!

One of our (many) favorite quotes from the great Wendell Berry always steers us back to the spark that turned us down the road of regenerative, ethical, Earth-based agriculture. We saw the state of our food system and knew we wanted to participate somehow in a change. We knew we as a family could do better. We wanted to nourish our bodies with the foods that our species has evolved to consume, and we wanted to see the process through from start to finish. Are we perfect? Not even close. But when we see our livestock healthy and romping in the fresh air and sunshine, full-circle food chain microcosms springing up alongside our lettuces and tomatoes, or native bird species returning to our meadows, you better believe it feels like we're doing something right.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, and thanks for letting us be your farmers. What we're doing together is a big deal, and having you all right there with us MATTERS.

Happy, happy Earth Day to you all. 🌎

Feel-good farmy tidbit of the day: we have had a serious surplus of eggs now that our laying flock is in springtime overdrive, so we were able to donate 300 of these beauties to the local food pantry today. Selling tip-top quality ingredients to our community feels great; donating our excess to bolster our community is indescribable. ✨️
