Our 1st experience of raising our own chicken and processing them ourselves is now under our belt! This has been a big learning experience, purchasing the right birds, finding the equipment to house them properly, which feed will we use? Investigating and finding the right equipment to process them has all taken time, but all and all this went very well. We now have close to 200 # of humanely raised, humanely processed chicken that will feed our family and community.

Today was a day to be remembered!! I received a call this morning that no one ever wants to ever get! Yep, I was told by our neighbor that the cows got through the fence! They are down the road on a “walk about”! We jumped in the truck and with the help of awesome neighbors the hunt began! You wouldn’t think that a nearly 1000 # four legged cow could hide so easily! After several hours they were found and with prayer answered they walked into our neighbors pasture to be contained once again! The good news was that we met some great new neighbors! We are so thankful for the kindness in our community and that strangers, now new friends are so willing to lend a hand! Also, no one was hurt!
Ugh!! Get cows they say….😂🤣

Today was a very good day! Lord I am so thankful 🙏Perfect weather, perfectly orchestrated separation of the lambs from the ewes. Now the BAWLING begins! So sorry neighbors!!😬 However, one of my sheep loving neighbors told me he thought it was a “glorious” sound! These ewes have been wonderful mothers, who are now deserving of a rest! We have some really nice Ewe lambs to add to next year’s breeding stock, and some well structured Ram lambs that will be used for breeding and for nourishing our bodies.
Join us as we keep praying for rain🙏.

Thank a farmer daily🙏❤️🙏

🚨I'd like to take a minute to reiterate something.

See that man on that tractor? That's my husband.
He's also a son, a brother and most importantly a daddy to three amazing kids. I'm not always available to follow him to fields, so if you come up behind him you can do one of three things:

✔️You can hang tight because he'll move over as soon as it's safe.

❌️ Swear at him and try and pass him in an unsafe manner that will put his life in danger.

✔️ Lastly you can slow down, take in the view and say a prayer for him, his crops and family.

It's not a hard decision....

As I often find myself “hurrying” to get it all done, it’s easy to loose perspective. It is always good to stand back and just enjoy the scenery❤️. I love watching the the chickens peck about! It’s very serious business, ya know😁. One of my favorite times on this farm is the quiet sound of contentment, in the evening as the sun goes down, all the critters are fed, watered one last time and munching away. There is no more hurry to the day…just bliss! Thankfulness fills my heart that we are blessed to live such a life.

This pasture mobile coop is our farm’s latest effort to keeping our farm land natural and sustainable! Oh yes, we are “chicken tenders”, and yes our top priority is maintaining healthy soil! Soil nourishment comes in many forms, but we are choosing the natural way, which these chickens are really good at! Because….we need lots of 🐓💩🤭. Our hens are doing the work for us! Saving us time and money and
💥BONUS💥 delivering super yummy eggs! The cycle is so simple and natural that it’s truly a shame that today’s factory farming practices are getting it all wrong! These hens live free, roam naturally grazing the land for bugs and grasses. Their eggs are superior to most any other egg on the market. Our intention is to eat well-to-be well! Our eggs can be purchased at Fagan's Farm. We encourage you to go shop with them, support local, know your farmer and know where your food comes from. You can buy great local 🍓🥬🥚🍳🥛🥗🥩🧈🍞🥔🧅🧄🌶️

Good Morning Chickies!!!🐔🐔🐔 This is our meatbird pen! They are vivacious eaters!! We feed them on a feed schedule of 12 on 12 off. Otherwise they might eat themselves silly. It is really very amazing how fast they grow to maturity! They are 23 days old and have eaten 110 pounds of feed already! They drink approximated 16 gallons of water per day. We move the chicken tractor 2 times a day to clean fresh ground , so they can eat the grass and bugs!

This group of hens do a great job of laying the pretties, most nutritious eggs. Picked up daily and available to our local customers within hours…now that’s what we call fresh food! 🥚🍳🥚🍳Available at Fagan's Farm or here at our farm in the honor frig, while supplies last daily!
