Some days on the farm feel like a week packed into 12 hours.

Feeding pigs. Checking cattle. Rotating pastures. Mowing fence lines. Trimming brush. Running water lines. Fixing what broke. Planning what comes next.

The work is never really finished, but days like today remind us why we do it. Every task helps build healthier soil, healthier animals, and a stronger farm for the future.

It’s not always glamorous, and it certainly isn’t easy, but there is something deeply satisfying about ending the day tired, dirty, and knowing you made progress.

Busy. Productive. Fruitful.

Just another day at Willow Valley Farm. 🌱🐖🐄

Busy day on the farm. Projects galore. Today focus is getting the water and electric run to our winter frost free waterers for the cattle.

If you have trenching needs (or many other things) give Terry a call!

I sure will miss all the tiny piglets.

Four years ago, these two arrived at Willow Valley Farm as tiny 6-week-old piglets. Since then, they’ve been an important part of our homestead, helping us build the foundation of our Idaho Pasture Pig program and raising many wonderful piglets along the way.

Today, we say goodbye as they head off to a new home.

While it’s never easy to part with animals you’ve cared for and worked with every day for years, there’s comfort in knowing they’re going to a family we’ve known and trusted for the past four years. We couldn’t have asked for a better next chapter for them.

One of the hardest parts of farming is that sometimes stewardship means letting animals move on to where they’re needed next. We’re grateful for everything these two have contributed to our farm and excited for the family who gets to continue their story.

Thank you for the memories, the litters, the lessons, and the countless muddy moments. You’ll always be a part of Willow Valley Farm.

While many are spending Memorial Day weekend relaxing, camping, grilling, and soaking up time off… farm life keeps moving.

This weekend looked like repairing equipment, mowing pasture, rotating animals, castrating piglets, and nursing sick animals around the clock. It looked like setting alarms every 3–4 hours through the night for electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, repositioning, and checking on animals that depend fully on us for their care.

Farming is beautiful, rewarding, and deeply fulfilling work — enough so that we wouldn’t trade this life for anything. But it is also exhausting, unpredictable, emotional, and relentless. There are no true days off when living creatures rely on you. The to-do list never ends, and emergencies tend to happen exactly when you least expect them.

Sometimes people see the price tag on locally and organically raised meat and wonder why it costs more. What they don’t always see is the love, labor, sacrifice, sleepless nights, financial risk, and constant stewardship behind every animal raised by small family farms.

We are at the mercy of Mother Nature daily, and caring well for animals often requires an enormous amount of dedication, grit, and heart.

This life is not easy — but it is meaningful. And we are grateful to live it. 🤍

🚨✨PORK SHARES AVAILABLE ✨🚨

it’s been a long time coming, but we finally have some hogs available for Butcher for customers. We will have 2 to 3 hogs ready for processing in about the next month or so.

Let me know if you would like the opportunity to fill your freezer with organically raised, abundantly loved pasture pork.
