Hoeft Homestead

Hoeft Homestead Just a small Homestead with a small farm stand, sharing our day to day. Trying to be self sustainable and teach others in any way we can!

Living with a baby fox is like raising a tiny drunk toddler that was banned from three national parks. 🦊😭

Mike said: “We are NOT spoiling her.”

Mike 12 hours later:
• built her a blanket throne
• hand delivers snacks like room service
• wakes up instantly if she makes one tiny peep
• calls her “Daddy’s Princess” completely unironically

This little orange psychopath now runs the entire homestead.

She gets hiccups when she’s excited… Which is CONSTANTLY.

So she’ll come sprinting through the house like a possessed marshmallow at Mach 7 hiccuping like a broken lawn mower, screaming because someone had the audacity to stop petting her for 0.3 seconds. 😭

And when she doesn’t get her way? Oh she YELLS.
Not cute little noises. I’m talking full Karen-at-the-service-desk levels of outrage.
You’d think we denied her inheritance and shut off her WiFi..

The sound that comes out of this tiny fluffy cloud is somewhere between:
• angry toddler
• tea kettle
• banshee
• smoke detector with low batteries

The dogs are confused. The geese are offended. The chickens have accepted their fate. And Mike? Mike would probably fistfight a bear for this tiny screaming ball of fluff.

At this point we don’t own a fox. We’re just staff at her very loud, very chaotic woodland resort. 👑🦊

🚨 IT’S A GIRL!!! 🚨

Big mama understood the assignment and delivered us a beautiful baby heifer this morning 🐮💕

Everyone is doing amazing and we are officially obsessed already.

Nothing beats walking out to the pasture and finding fresh little wobbly legs, tiny moo noises, and one VERY proud mama 😭
Good job big mama 👏

The chaos crew just got a little cuter.

Now accepting name suggestions before the kids name her something ridiculous like “Beef Supreme” 🤦‍♀️😂

🚨🐮 IT’S A BULL!!! 🐮🚨

Our FIRST EVER bull calf born here at Hoeft Homestead and we are ridiculously excited 😭🔥

This handsome little guy is a
🐂 Highlander × Black Angus cross
and yes… he’s already acting like he owns the place.

Tiny moos.
Tiny hops.
Tiny attitude.
100% beefcake energy. 😂

Never thought we’d be this emotional over a fuzzy little pasture potato but here we are.

This special boy may be up for discussion once he’s older, so if you’ve been looking for a unique cross with some serious eye appeal, keep following along 👀

Meanwhile the rest of the farm has entered full “new baby supervision committee” mode:
🐴 horses staring
🪿 geese yelling
🫏 donkey investigating
🐓 chickens contributing absolutely nothing

Welcome to the chaos crew, little man 🤎

🚨🐮 BABY COW ALERT!!! 🐮🚨

And just like that… the farm chaos level increased again 😭😂
Tiny moo machine has officially entered the chat and we are OBSESSED.

Wobbly legs ✔️
Tiny little moos ✔️
Already plotting escape plans ✔️
The entire farm standing around like proud weird uncles ✔️

Honestly not sure what’s cuter… the baby cow or everyone completely losing their minds over it 🥹

Plot twist from today’s chicken swap…

I came home with a 5 week old “Sunglow” fox kit 🫣😂

He said: “Absolutely not.”
The universe said: “Anyway, here’s your fox.”

And now look at him already… holding her like a tiny woodland princess he “didn’t want” 🦊💀

Give it 48 hours and he’ll be:
✔ talking to her in baby voice
✔ buying snacks specifically for her
✔ explaining her color genetics to strangers
✔ calling himself her dad

Welcome to the chaos crew, little Sunglow ✨

(For everyone asking — yes, foxes are incredibly intelligent and playful… and yes, apparently they also know how to manipulate middle-aged men almost instantly 😂)

🚨 VIKING SHEEPIE UPDATE 🚨

Apparently one Jacob sheep wasn’t enough chaos for this homestead… so now we have TWO 😭😂

Meet our newest horned hooligans:
⚔️ One 4-horned ram that looks like he pillaged villages in 847 AD
⚔️ One 2-horned ewe who absolutely looks like she files complaints with the village council

Now we need names.
And obviously… we’re keeping it aggressively Viking. 🪓

Current vibe:
• Ragnar
• Bjorn
• Odin
• Freya
• Lagertha
• Thor
• Helga
• Sven the Destroyer of Feed Buckets

But honestly… after “Viking Sheepie Baby,” I no longer trust myself to make responsible naming decisions 🤦‍♀️

Drop your BEST Viking names below 👇
Funniest one wins eternal bragging rights and probably gets screamed at by a goose during farm stand hours.

Also yes…
Jacob sheep naturally grow multiple horns.
So if you’ve never seen a 4-horned sheep before, congratulations — neither had half the people driving past our pasture slamming on their brakes today 😂

HAPPY SATURDAY FROM THE CHAOS CREW 🥚🐔

Are you out of eggs yet?

Because at this point we’re considering building the chickens their own union hall and putting them on payroll. 😭

The girls have absolutely lost control of themselves.
The counters are full.
The fridge is full.
The stand is full.
I’m pretty sure there are eggs appearing spontaneously at this point.

PLEASE.
For the love of all things farm chaos…
come help us before we start using eggs as home decor.

🚨 TURKEY EGGS ARE HITTING THE FARM STAND THIS MORNING 🚨

And listen… these things disappear FAST. 👀🥚🦃

We only have a LIMITED supply going out today, and turkey eggs are one of those “if you know, you KNOW” kinda goodies. Rich, creamy, extra delicious, and highly sought after by the egg lovers who like the fancy stuff 😮‍💨

Perfect for baking, breakfast, or just bragging to your friends that you scored turkey eggs from the stand before everyone else cleaned us out 😂

📍 Hoeft Homestead Farm Stand
Open 24/7 • Honor System • Temperature Controlled

Come early… because once the turkey girls decide they’ve done enough for society, that’s it 🤣

🚨 SOUND ON FOR THIS ONE 🚨

Nobody warned me that baby pigs eating lettuce sounds like a group of tiny linebackers demolishing potato chips 😂🐷🥬

The bacon seeds got a fresh lettuce delivery and immediately turned into: CRONCH CRONCH CRONCH

No thoughts. No manners. Just violence and salad.

This place is less “peaceful homestead” and more “all-you-can-eat farm buffet with screaming.”

Come experience the chaos in person 👇

Y’ALL CAME IN HOT 🔥🥚

Like… blink-and-the-eggs-were-gone kind of hot 😳😂

We had to restock the farm stand FIVE TIMES today… FIVE 💀

Thank you SO much for showing up and supporting our little homestead—we seriously appreciate every single one of you 🫶

BUT… don’t worry…
the girls are still out here working overtime and there are STILL plenty of eggs left 😬😩

Come grab ‘em before they disappear again 👀👇
