🛎️ Please share this with anyone you know that would be open to raising and loving these kittens.

Someone dropped off four kittens to us and are motherless. They’re all very sweet, cute, and appear to be healthy. They are pretty young so would be best to keep them together for a bit.

Although this is the cutest surprise ever, we can’t keep all four kittens! Please share this.

They come RUNNING when they hear us 🐷🥰🌳

Look at her sit so pretty! 🐷💫🌳

The piggies heard the four wheeler and immediately ran over, sat down, and started drooling waiting for snacks like they haven’t eaten in weeks!

We’re really hoping some of them are pregnant, but it’s still too early to know for sure.

Fun fact: a pig’s pregnancy lasts about 114 days. Farmers call it “3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days.”

If she is expecting, we could have piglets running around the farm before we know it!

So stay tuned for more cuteness 🐷💫

For now, we wait… and apparently keep bringing snacks! 🥥🥕🌽🥒🫐🫑

Chickies are enjoying their fresh pasture 🌱

Our pasture-raised meat chickens are raised the way chickens were meant to live: with fresh air, sunshine, grass under their feet, and room to roam.

Unlike conventional factory-farmed chickens, pasture-raised birds are moved regularly onto fresh pasture where they can forage naturally for grasses, bugs, and nutrients while still being fed a balanced diet to support healthy growth.

Why pasture-raised matters:
• Better animal welfare: chickens have space to move, scratch, and exhibit natural behaviors
• Healthier soil: rotational grazing helps fertilize and regenerate pasture naturally
• Cleaner environment: reduced waste concentration compared to confinement systems
• Nutrient-rich meat: pasture-raised chicken can contain higher levels of beneficial nutrients and healthier fats
• Better flavor and texture: many people notice a richer taste and firmer texture from chickens raised outdoors

Our meat chickens are raised with care from day one, with a focus on humane handling, clean living conditions, and regenerative farming practices that support both the animals and the land.

When you support pasture-raised farming, you’re supporting small farms, healthier ecosystems, and more transparent food systems.

Farming is hard-core 💪🏼🌳🚜

This was last year. We were planting cover crops with a mix of red and white clover, field peas, sunflowers,
wildflowers, alfalfa, chickory, and so much more!

Cover crops help keep the soil alive and thriving with all the microorganisms helping to fertilize, airrate, and adding nutrients to the soil! Healthy soil means healthy crops!
