Peanut has officially decided that “personal space” is a myth. This tiny house goat followed me all the way to the shower like she pays rent around here. Life on the farm means zero privacy and 100% adorable interruptions.

It’s easy to let the little things chip away at your peace, but life feels different when you slow down long enough to notice the beauty right in front of you. There’s so much to be thankful for when you choose to see it.

I’m thankful every time I open my freezer and see beef that was born and raised on a farm in Duvall, WA — and lamb and pork raised right here on my own land. That’s real, local food.

The administration’s move to import cheap beef hits more than just ranchers. It hits the hay farmers, the feed stores, the welders and mechanics who keep equipment running, and the local butchers who make small‑scale meat possible.

When we buy direct from farmers, we keep our communities alive. We keep our food system resilient. We keep our sovereignty — because a nation that depends on foreign food is a nation that can’t stand on its own.

Local meat isn’t just food. It’s security.

If you buy local meat, what inspired you to make that change? And if you haven’t tried it yet, what questions or concerns do you have?

I am deeply saddened for all of the AMERICAN BEEF RANCHERS & thier families.... 🥺 I apologize for what is happening right now. 🫶

We stand with you. As we, The Hayes', were once YOU! I truly hope and pray people are paying attention and buying American Beef.. 🙏

Consumers please understand this isn't a win... Cheaper Beef isn't the solution. This is such a massive blow and loss, and will affect many, many American Beef Farming Farmilies.

I cannot imagine the gut punch feeling of waking up to this devastating News. 😭😢

I completely understand, how from the consumer side, this may feel like a win. But it's not. Please understand when a a win hurts hundreds to thousands of Beef farming families it's NOT a win. And though Beef prices may temporarily drip, understand this isn't viable, not for the consumer, not for the farmer, and not as a whole for thr Ag community of families, who work tirelessly to feed you.

If you aren't buying direct NOW, more than ever, is the time to put your money where your mouth is... Stand up and show the Ag community you stand with American Farming Families, not above them, but beside them. 🫶

Ignore the US Flag on labels. USDA inspected doesn't mean: born, raised, and slaughtered in the US..
Look for 👉 "Born & Raised in the US".. This means born, raised, and slaughtered in the US. Even Product of the USA doesn't necessarily mean born and raised in the US. Beef packagers want to confuse you. Don't be confused by their false advertising practices. Know the difference. Knowledge is Power. 💪

God Bless American Farmers. 🙌 🇺🇸

There’s something powerful about choosing to show up as the version of yourself that feels true, gentle, and real. The world gets softer when you stop trying to fit in and start honoring who you already are.

Choosing Joy on Purpose — Happiness isn’t something you stumble into. It’s something you choose in the middle of real life — in the noise, in the work, in the ordinary moments that end up shaping everything.

Peanut is out here rocking a full milk soul patch like she’s the boss of the barn. Big attitude, bigger appetite, and absolutely no regrets.

Life on the farm: where even the babies have swagger.

Two of my favorite snack monsters: Anna (black goat) and Whisper (black, white, brown goat) are always front of line when treats are handed out. Their personalities are larger than life and always manage to make me smile ❤️🥰

Photo shoot day for the kids web site photos. I had a whole plan for their photo shoot. They had a very different plan. Behind the scenes basically turned into a highlight reel of tiny hooves, zero cooperation, and maximum personality. Proving that sometimes not following plans is actually the best way to live life ❤️🥰

Dinner time for one of this year’s bottle babies.
The house is calm, chores are done, and it’s just the two of us in the living room wrapping up the day.
He gets his last bottle, I get a quiet moment, and then it’s bedtime for everyone.
Life feels pretty sweet in these small routines.
