Caught the elderberries this week soaking up the last bit of sunshine for the day.

Meanwhile, I’m over here admiring the view and pretending not to think about all the picking that’s in the future for August.🫐🌅

Planting season reminds us that some of life’s most important work happens after we’ve done all we can and trust God with the rest. 🙏🌦️☀️

Meanwhile, I’ll be creating my mood board for harvest🤔 🤣

🐄🌾 Remembering that Saturday we threw 125 straw bales. The real cost was measured in sore muscles for the grown-ups and questioning our life choices somewhere around bale #87. 😅

🍋🫐 Wellness doesn’t have to be complicated.

I believe food is medicine, and some of the best things we can do for our bodies start with simple, real ingredients.

Sharing this Elderberry Lemonade recipe- it’s refreshing, delicious, and an easy way to support wellness while enjoying a summer treat!

If staying healthy always tasted like lemonade, we’d all be experts at it. 😆

Here’s to nourishing our families one simple choice at a time. 🌿

Back when our biggest challenge was figuring out who got the biggest tractor tire to hide in.

The farm has always been the best playground! No fancy toys, no screens—just imagination, laughter, and adventures waiting to happen.

Somehow those little kids who could disappear inside a tractor tire have grown faster than the crops ever do.

💚 Grateful for the memories.
💚 Grateful for the chaos.
💚 Grateful for this farm life that gives them room to grow.

What was your favorite childhood hiding spot?

🚜 Forecast for today was:

☁️ 90% chance of rain
🌱 100% chance of “Let’s try to finish one more pass.”
😅 100% chance of getting dirty
☕ Several cups of caffeine required

Farmers: “We should probably head in.”

Also farmers: works another three hours. (10p quitting time tonight) 🙄

Beef Kabobs: because vegetables taste better when they’re hanging out with beef. 😆🥩

Easy. Flavorful. Farmer approved.

What’s one food your family can’t resist stealing straight from the grill?

Back then nobody asked if dinner was gluten-free. We just hoped it wasn’t liver. 😂

Funny thing is, most of what’s on our table was already what people are looking for today- homegrown vegetables, farm raised beef, fresh milk and food raised by families who cared about it.

Turns out “farm-to-table” wasn’t a trend it was Tuesday nights supper on the farm.
