Home education doesn’t have to mean homeschooling.

Some families homeschool. Some attend public school. Some choose private school. Every family has a different story and that’s okay. No matter where our children learn math, science or reading home is where so much of life is taught. Home is where values are modeled. Where traditions are created and curiosity is encouraged.

You don’t need a farm to give your children meaningful experiences. You don’t even need a backyard. A walk through the neighborhood, local park, creek or library. Even a crack in the sidewalk with a line of ants can become a lesson if we slow down long enough to notice.

Some of my sweetest childhood memories are from living in an apartment with my mom watching ants carry food through the cracks in the sidewalk. Looking back, I realize we weren’t just passing the time. She was teaching me to notice the world around me.

Our children don’t need extraordinary places nearly as much as they need adults who are willing to wonder alongside them.

As another school year begins and our calendars fill, I hope we still make room for wonder. Read the extra chapter. Stop to watch the butterfly. Ask one more question. Follow the trail of ants.

Those little moments have a way of becoming the memories our children carry with them for a lifetime.✨

Have you ever noticed that our cattle are always in a different pasture?

That’s because we practice rotational grazing.

Rather than leaving cattle in one field all season, we move them regularly through pastures planted with a diverse mix of protein rich grasses and forages. This gives each pasture time to rest and recover before the cattle return.

Rotational grazing helps build healthier soil, naturally spreads manure as fertilizer, reduces parasite pressure and provides our cattle with fresh, nutritious forage.

One of the things I love most about this system is that it works with nature instead of against it. It mirrors the way large herds of bison once moved across the Great Plains…grazing, fertilizing, and moving on so the land could recover.

Our chickens also have an important role by helping spread nutrients and reduce insects. One day, we’d love to add sheep to the mix. Every animal has a purpose and together they help create a healthier farm.

For us, caring for our animals begins with caring for the land that cares for them.

Just a few months ago, these bushes were covered in delicate white flowers. Today, those blossoms have become beautiful clusters of dark purple elderberries.
We’ll harvest and freeze them now. When cold and flu season rolls around, they’ll become homemade elderberry syrup for our family.

What else do you love making with elderberries? I’d love some other ideas.

It’s butterfly season.

One of my favorite things about summer is watching them dance from bloom to bloom across the flower patch. Such a sweet reminder to slow down and enjoy the beauty right in front of us. 🦋

Now that Farm School has come to an end, I’ve spent some time reflecting on what these past few weeks taught me.

Children are incredibly capable.

Sometimes they just need the opportunity to prove it.

When we step back and give children space to explore, imagine, create and discover, something beautiful begins to happen. At first, they simply observe. They watch. They wonder. Then something begins to unfold…

Soon they’re building forts, catching crawfish, creating games, solving problems and working together toward a common goal. You’ll see leaders naturally emerge. You’ll see friendships form. You’ll see confidence grow.

Watching children experience the wonder of the creek, the woods and the farm reminded me that some of the best learning can’t be planned. It happens when children are given the freedom to explore, imagine, create and discover together.

There’s something satisfying about seeing the farm freezer full again.

After being sold out for a while, we were able to restock a small selection of our beef this week.

Moments like this are a reminder that every purchase supports more than just a meal. It supports a family, a way of life and the stewardship of land that has been cared for by generations.

Thank you to everyone who has chosen Gregory Family Farm for your family’s table. We’re grateful for every single one of you.🤍

Fern and her baby, Marigold. 💛

Four weeks ago, Fern became a mama for the very first time and she’s taken to motherhood just as naturally as we hoped she would.

“Do you take the calf away so you can have all the milk?”

For us, the answer is no.

Marigold stays right by Fern’s side, nursing, grazing, playing and learning to be a cow. After the first few weeks, she’ll spend her nights in the “nursery pen” while Fern stays with the herd. By morning, Fern has plenty of milk for our family and then Marigold heads right back to her mama for the rest of the day.

She’ll stay with Fern for 7–9 months before she’s weaned.

We know every situation is different and what works for a large commercial dairy isn’t always what works for a smaller family farm. This is simply the system that fits our farm and our goals. It allows mama and baby to stay together while still providing enough milk for our family.

One of my favorite parts of having a family milk cow is seeing the mamas raise their babies. Watching Fern care for Marigold has been one of the sweetest parts of our summer. 🤍

A few days of salt water and sand did our family good.

As much as we love the beach, there’s something special about coming home to the farm. The chores are waiting, the animals still need caring for and life gets busy again. But we’re so thankful this is the life we’ve been given.

Home is our favorite place. ❤️
