Navigating different online groups and their guidelines can definitely be a learning curve! While it’s always frustrating to have content removed when you're simply trying to connect with like-minded folks and share what you love, I completely respect that every space has its own rules.
I know my style isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay! My main goal has always been to build a genuine community, share the journey, and connect with people who share these same passions.
Thank you to everyone here who follows along, supports the page, and makes this space such a great community. Onward and upward!

Thank you!

Important Farm Update: The Heat is Real, and So Are We! ☀️🐔
​We love our birds, we love our customers, but right now Mother Nature is running the thermostat on "Surface of the Sun" mode. Here is the latest scoop from the coop:
​Shipping is paused for safety: We refuse to accidentally hard-boil your hatching eggs or overheat live chicks in a delivery truck. Shipping is temporarily on hold until the weather decides to behave, because animal safety always comes first.
​The "Customer Service Department" is one and a half humans: Our entire farm crew consists of four people—one of whom is 3 years old and gets paid mostly in snacks and life experience. We are currently handling 50+ messages a day between chores, feeding, incubating, and farm maintenance.
​Backlog transparency: We are working round the clock to power through presale and pending orders as quickly as safely possible.
​A quick note on farm etiquette:
​We completely get that waiting on an order is tough. Questions are always welcome! However, treating us like a faceless mega-corporation isn’t the move. We are a real family putting in 16-hour days to get healthy birds and eggs to your doorstep.
​Rude, abusive, or threatening messages won't speed up your box—they'll just earn you an immediate cancellation, a full refund, and a direct ticket to our block list. No exceptions.
​To everyone sending patience, kindness, and good vibes while we wait out this heatwave: thank you! You are the reason we love doing what we do. ❤️🌾

What got you started down the self-reliance path, and what keeps you building every day?
For most of us, stepping into homesteading or prepping isn't just a hobby—it starts with a specific turning point, a practical goal, or simply wanting to know exactly where our family’s food and resources come from. Whether your drive comes from food security, wanting true independence, rising costs, or just being ready for whatever life throws at the supply chain, everyone has a story.
Drop a comment below and let’s talk:
The Spark: What was the exact moment or event that made you say, "I need to start doing this myself"?
The Focus: What are you prioritizing most right now—food production (gardening, livestock, canning), off-grid power, water security, or building community?
The Reality Check: What’s the biggest concern or wild theory you started with that turned out to be completely different once your hands were actually in the dirt?

Buying beef in bulk is one of the best ways to get high-quality, locally raised meat, but the pricing terms can be confusing if you're new to it.
Investing in a side (half) of beef upfront can feel intimidating, so here is a quick guide to how the weights, costs, and cuts actually work:
The 3 Weights Explained
Live Weight (on the hoof): What the steer weighs out in the pasture.
Hanging Weight: The weight after harvest (usually 60–65% of live weight). This is the standard industry weight used for pricing.
Finished/Cut Weight: The final packaged beef you bring home after trimming and deboning (about 60–65% of the hanging weight).
The Real Math
If a half beef has a 300 lb hanging weight, you’ll take home roughly 180 lbs of packaged cuts.
At an all-inclusive hanging weight price of $6 to $8/lb, you invest around $1,800 to $2,100 total. That averages out to roughly $10–$12 per pound of finished beef in your freezer.
While that might seem higher than grocery-store ground chuck, remember that this flat price includes your high-end cuts:
Filets, Ribeyes, and New York Strips
Chuck roasts, briskets, and stew meat
High-quality ground beef
(Note: Pricing structures vary by producer. Some charge hanging weight plus separate processor and harvest fees. We keep it simple by offering an all-inclusive price per hanging pound so you only have to pay once.)
You Choose the Cuts
When you purchase a half cow, you fill out a cut sheet to customize everything to your household's cooking style:
Choose your steak thickness and pack sizes.
Opt for whole roasts, stew meat, beef jerky slices, or cube steak for chicken-fried steak.
Keep soup bones or have organs blended directly into the ground beef for an extra nutrient boost.
Stocking your freezer directly from a local producer gives your family better quality, predictable grocery costs, and zero waste.
