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.

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."

Mother's Day: The 'Loca' Love of a Super-Mom

It’s a story of unexpected motherhood! Meet 'Loca.' Let's just say she's... well, 'free-spirited.' For a long time, she was fiercely broody, protecting a whole lot of nothing but anticipation.

Meanwhile, a neighbor's chicks were left motherless. Our brilliant farm girl and her friend put two and two together, and as this video shows, the match was perfect. The wild one became the protective one.

It’s a beautiful reminder that motherhood isn't about blood; it's about the heart.

To all the moms, grandmas, aunties, and spiritual mamas—the ones who stepped in and chose to love—we celebrate you today!

You see two adorable, speckled cotton balls. We see the final stage of "Project: Tick-Slayer Gen 3."

These new Guinea Fowl are currently marinating in 93.6 degrees of raw potential. Yes, they look cute and fuzzy now. That’s how they get you. But give them a few weeks, and they’ll develop that characteristic Guinea frantic energy and start patrolling your property like a feathered swat team that drank too much coffee.

Our resident Farm Girl is hand-raising these, so they might actually tolerate humans for five seconds before running away screaming.

The catch? We don't have enough bugs left for them to eat. Our existing Guinea Gang is so effective that ticks, small snakes, and other various bugs are basically urban legends around here now.

We can't keep them all, or the property will exceed our bird noise tolerance limits by July. So, these specialized security contractors (and all their brother/sister soon to hatch) need new jurisdictions.

If you’re in Sallisaw, OK (or willing to drive) and need more into on some low-cost, high-volume biological pest control (and a high-octane morning alarm), DM us.

Our pre-storm 'CSTA Farm Lock-Down' protocol is in full effect: feeders full to the brim (mostly to keep them occupied), windows closed, cameras and smart-lights verified (so we can keep watch on their jail-bird cliques from the house), and eggs collected before they turned into muddy marbles.

And the birds? It will be absolute chaos in the coops. It’ll be like CSTA Farm Bird Penitentiary in there. The chickens will form little turf-war cliques, the guinea fowl will hole up on a high roost like a paranoid SWAT team, and they will all just decide to eat… a lot. Apparently, lock-down anxiety fuels the buffet.

But jokes aside, we are safe in the care of our Lord and are incredibly grateful for God’s continued hand of protection over our animals, farm, and home. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone effected by the devastating tornado in Enid, OK. We are holding tight to the truth of Scripture in times like these.

Psalm 55:16 says "I will call to God, and the Lord will save me."

The Great Workshop Sabbatical of 2026

Meet Gabby. She’s called Gabby because she has a 5-star rating on Yelp for "Most Consistent Complainer." Whether it’s the "freedom door" not opening at the crack of dawn or the scratch-to-corn ratio being slightly off, she’s got a monologue ready for us every morning.

However, Gabby recently took a vow of silence. Unintentionally.

She decided to pull a "Mission Impossible" and snuck into the workshop for a nap right before we left town. Five days. No room service. No scratch. Just Gabby, some power tools, and her own thoughts. We came home to a chicken who was very happy to see the sun, a little thirsty, and surprisingly, she’d left us a few eggs on the workbench as if to say, "I stayed here, I might as well contribute to the mortgage."

She hasn’t been back to the shop since. Apparently, she’s decided she prefers free-ranging over "industrial living."

It’s funny how we think we know exactly where we’re going—until we end up locked in a room with no way out. We might lose our way, but thankfully, we aren’t the ones in charge of the map.

"I will instruct you and show you the way to go; with my eye on you, I will give counsel." — Psalms 32:8

Gabby might have been out of our sight for a few days, but we are never out of His. He kept His loving eye on us always—even when we wander into places we shouldn't.

Everyone knows the old saying, "April showers bring May flowers." It’s a real polite, dainty little rhyme. But in Sallisaw, we don’t really do "dainty."

Around here, an April shower usually involves a thunderstorm so loud it sounds like the clouds are moving furniture. It’s less of a "gentle watering" and more of a full-scale, high-pressure, atmospheric car wash. You’re lying in bed at 2:00 AM, the weather alert radio goes off, and you’re just thinking, "Well, the garden is definitely getting a drink."

But you wake up the next morning to this view. The air is clear, trees are full, chickens are out, and the grass is suddenly that aggressive shade of Oklahoma green that looks like it was edited with a neon highlighter. It’s loud, it’s flashy, and it’s a bit dramatic—but it’s how He brings the whole place back to life.

Psalm 65:9-10
"You visit the earth and water it abundantly; you make it very rich... you drench its furrows and level its ridges. You soften it with showers and bless its growth."

Look at who’s checking into the CSTA Farm “day spa” this week! 🦆✨

The Canadian Geese have decided our pond and pasture are the it spot. While our guineas initially tried their best “get off my lawn” routine, they’ve reluctantly accepted that these guys are staying for a bit.

But why exactly are they here in late March? Well, it’s not just for the excellent mud baths (though that helps). It’s peak time for their massive spring migration northward. 🗺️ Some of them are just using us as a posh rest stop to refuel on grass.

However, a lot of them aren’t just passing through anymore—they’ve become savvy year-round residents. Those guys are busy pairing up (and yes, they are dramatic about it!) and aggressively scouting the best nesting spots near the water. Our pond is basically a five-star location: lots of grass, open water for safety, and very gentle banks. If they stay more than a few days, we might have to add a goose to our logo! 🤷‍♂️
