It is HOT here... that is all!

07/31/2026

It’s been 100+ degrees out here in Sallisaw all week. This means two things:

1 - the heat index is currently being measured in "why do we live here?"
2 - our garden just decided to turn up the heat right back at us. 🌶️🔥

You know you’re living right when the weather and your harvest are both actively trying to melt you. Our chickens are panting like golden retrievers, guineas are screeching at the sun like it owes them money, the turkeys seem to be looking for a farm with A/C.

We are blessed to take in the bounty God gave us and turn up the flavor!

If you're checking in from the slightly cooler spot or if you are feeling the heat too - here is our CSTA Farm "How Brave Are You?" Pico de Gallo:

🍅 CSTA Farm Pico de Gallo 🌶️

4 finely chopped tomatoes

1 small white onion, finely chopped

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1–4 Jalapeños (1 for "I like a little flavor," 4 for "my taste buds much be punished")

Salt, pepper, and fresh lemon juice to taste

Farm Pro-Tip: To really bump it up, toss in 1 finely cubed mango and 1 very firm, diced avocado. It’s the sweet-and-savory miracle this heatwave needed.

We wanted to share a story about Salli, one of our heritage small Beltsville turkey hens. Salli was fiercely independent and absolutely determined to hatch her own eggs, her own way, and in her own chosen place.

For several weeks, she had found a nesting spot out in the neighboring pasture. Even though she chose the wilder brush, she never forgot home. Every single day, she would walk back to the farm to eat, drink, and check in with us for some treats. But as evening fell, she would always return to her unprotected nest.

When she didn’t show up for her daily check-in for a few days, worry set in. Farm girl put on her snake boots and went out into the pasture to look for her. Sadly, the search ended in heartbreak. The nest had been raided, and a trail of feathers nearby confirmed our worst fears.

Life on the farm is beautiful, but it brings us face-to-face with tough realities. It doesn't always give us the happy endings we hope for. In these quiet, hard moments, we are reminded of why we don't anchor our peace to the things of this world. We know that having a foundation in and faith on Jesus, our rock, is the only thing that will never fail us.

Farming is usually a full-time calling, but nobody said we couldn't mow in a 1-hole golf course that rivals Augusta… if Augusta had a pasture-grass, 166-yard par 3, zero green fees, and gopher holes that count as a hole-in-one. (At least now Farmer Chris can break 100... hopefully.)

Here’s the tour: the tee box, the fairway, and a circle around the pin. Is it PGA certified? Not even close. But when you work the land all week, hitting a par 3 right on your own soil hits different.

"I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God." — Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

Taking time to rest, laugh at a wild bounce on a w**d patch, and find joy in the work of your hands is truly a gift from God.

Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord — the people he has chosen to be his own possession!

Psalms 33:12

Even though the Oklahoma weather has been hot and humid, the turkey poults are still free-ranging and making the most of their freedom. 🦃☀️

At CSTA Farm, we do our best to take the steps laid out by the Lord, trusting that His plan is always perfect. We might map out the day, but He’s the one leading the way.

"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." — Proverbs 16:9

The Great Escape... to the Garbage Can 🦃🗑️

Lulu and Sally’s 10 turkey poults hit the 5-week mark and finally got to free-range outside the brooder, all under the less-than-watchful eye of their proud papa, Tom Cruze.

On Sunday they were having a wonderful day—until evening, when we realized only 8 were accounted for. Farmer Chris reviewed the camera footage for signs of predators, but found nothing. We searched the entire farm (and parts of the neighbors’) with no luck. Reluctantly, we accepted that we had lost the two little ones.

Our motto is that “dangerous freedom” is better than “safe imprisonment,” so we let the rest back out the next day.

Then today, Farm Girl heard the faintest peeps. She followed the sound, and it grew louder—coming from the bottom of a swivel-lid trash can. Looking inside, she found both missing poults! They had jumped onto the lid and fallen in (a trap we didn’t know we had). They were hot, hungry, thirsty, and more than a little tired of each other.

Farm Girl got them fed, watered, and gave them some poultry Gatorade to perk them up. The full 10-man crew is back together, happier than ever. If she hadn’t recognized their call and known their voice, trash day would have been heartbreaking. We’ve since sent that trash can to a much larger one (Trash Can Inception, basically).

In the same way, we make sure we know Jesus’ voice and He knows ours. When we wander off and fall into a dark mess of our own making, we can cry out to Him—and our Shepherd hears us.

Know His voice. Then, no matter how deep a bin you’ve managed to climb into, you can call out and He will hear you and save you.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27 🌾
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” — Romans 10:13 ⚡

Guineas are great for tick control and security, but they literately put all their eggs in one basket 🧠❌

After a raccoon raided their last nest, the flock held a high-level corporate meeting and decided to relocate to this "top secret" patch of grass. They managed to drop an entire stimulus package of eggs before we caught on.

Since they’ve been sitting out here playing chicken with the elements, these are strictly off the menu. And wouldn't you know it, the neighborhood predators already got the memo on the new location. So now we’re back to playing a high-stakes game of Easter egg hunt.

How many eggs do you think are in this pile? Worst guess is a rotten egg! 🥚👇

"The vigilant see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it." — Proverbs 22:3 (A gentle reminder that our guineas are definitely the latter in this case.)

The Eye in the Sky (While the Humans Get Their Own Free-Range Time)

You know you’ve fully committed to the homestead life when you go on vacation, but instead of scrolling through pictures of the day's adventures, you’re staring at a smart dashboard calculating the exact humidity of a turkey coop in Oklahoma.

Farm Girl and I managed to slip away for a quick trip a week or so ago, but thanks to the wonders of modern technology—and some absolutely saintly neighbors—the CSTA Farm didn’t miss a beat. Honestly, looking at this command center, I’m starting to think the birds prefer us when we’re thousands of miles away.

While we were gone, our amazing neighbors made sure the 24-hour buffet stayed stocked and the egg collection went flawlessly.

We might have the master control panel, but the truth is, we just work here. The birds run the joint, the neighbors are a Godsend, and the Big Boss upstairs keeps it all spinning.

"The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good."
— Proverbs 15:3

No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends.
