Chris and I had the honor of hosting a beautiful farm-to-table dinner last night for the Red Acre Center, an organization whose work has likely touched many Utahns: from small farms and chefs to home kitchen entrepreneurs and food lovers alike.

This moment felt especially meaningful after a long journey to get here. Farm-to-table dinners have lived on my dream board since we first began farming. I’ve always loved entertaining, especially through food, and over time I came to realize there is no more powerful way to connect people-to the land, to their producers, and to their communities-than around a carefully curated meal sourced almost entirely from small farms and local makers in your community.

At a table like that, differences begin to fade. What remains is something simple: a shared appreciation for food grown by your neighbors.

Every person who joined us that evening quite literally put their money where their mouth is, directly contributing to the movement for food freedom here in Utah. You are the reason we do what we do.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

This week we had a group of young women volunteer on the farm. One of the most heartwarming things about groups like these is how often they thank us for letting them help, when in reality, we’re the ones who feel grateful.

Their energy, kindness, and willingness to show up and pitch in make a real difference in more ways than they probably realize. We’re truly thankful for willing hands!

There’s nothing like farm camp. Nothing!

When at the end of the week they all groan about it being the last day, several beg for you to host another camp, and you overhear conversations with your daughter about how lucky she is to live here, you know you’ve created a space that is special for all the kids who experience it.

Half of our enrolled campers are repeaters, and some have been coming since Year 1. Watching these kids grow up here, year after year, is one of the greatest gifts.

We’ve been given hand-drawn pictures, little notes, phone numbers scribbled down because they want to come play another day, and even stumbled across chalk art on the sidewalk that reads, “Farm Camp is the Best.”

It’s hard to put into words what those moments mean. The joy, the trust, the connection, and the memories being made here create a feeling that’s almost impossible to explain. Knowing this little farm has become such a meaningful place in these kids’ lives is something I’ll never take for granted.

How did I get so lucky that this is my life? 🥹❤️🌱🐓🚜✨

One of those mornings that reminds me why we do this. The cows were content, the grass was glowing, and everything felt right with the world.

A few minutes later, the day took a very different turn.

Pasture-raised animals get to live outdoors in the sunshine, fresh air, and natural environment we believe they deserve. But that freedom comes with risks and challenges that are part of raising animals on pasture. Getting truly pasture-raised food to your plate requires daily care, constant problem-solving, and sometimes heartbreak. We share this not for shock value, but because it’s part of the reality of farming.

We’re still investigating what may have gotten into the chicken tractors. While predator pressure is part of farming in a natural environment, that doesn’t make losses like this any easier. This is a big loss for the farm.

Sensitive images ahead.
