Thereโ€™s something pretty special about feeding our calves and pigs with something that came straight from our own fields ๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ–

Grinding up the corn we grew to make feed for this group reminds us why we do what we do. From planting to harvest to feedingโ€”it all comes full circle right here on the farm.

Even more meaningful is passing this down to the next generationโ€”teaching them the value of hard work, where their food comes from, and the pride in raising it yourself. ๐Ÿ’›

It takes time, patience, and a whole lot of effort, but watching these calves and pigs grow on feed we raised ourselves (and sharing that experience with our kids) makes it all worth it.

Happy Motherโ€™s Day to these special ladies๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ–

Today we celebrate the moms who do it all โ€” early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. From feeding calves and pigs to feeding families, your love, strength, and dedication never go unnoticed.

Thank you for being the heart of the farm and the glue that holds it all together. We are so grateful for everything you do, today and every day.

Wishing all the amazing moms out there a day filled with love, appreciation, and maybe even a little time to relax ๐Ÿ’›

This past weekend wasnโ€™t all sunshine and pretty viewsโ€”just some of the less glamorous parts of farm life. With the warmer weather and dry fields, we took the opportunity to clean out the calving barn and apply it to our fields before planting to help provide valuable nutrients for the upcoming crop. Not always the fun jobs, but definitely important ones! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿšœ

Ever wonder how a 1/2 beef actually breaks down for a family? Hereโ€™s how we had ours processed last year as a family of 5 (with two growing boys ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ) and what worked really well for us!

โ€ข Steaks: 1" thick, packaged for 2
โ€ข Steak preferences: NY Strip & Filets
โ€ข Round, ribs, stew meat: Ground
โ€ข Ground beef: 1 lb packages
โ€ข Special requests: Denver steak + 50 lbs into cheddar beef snack sticks

Thereโ€™s just something about a cold, rainy day that calls for a warm, cozy meal straight from the oven ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Feeling especially grateful today to have our freezer stocked with ground beefโ€”nothing fancy, just simple ingredients coming together to make a hearty pot pie for the family. Meals like this remind us how much of a blessing it is to raise our own food and gather around the table together.

Comfort food, full hearts, and a house that smells amazingโ€”doesnโ€™t get much better than that โค๏ธ
