How’s that saying go?!?!!
“LIFE LATELY” ?!?!?!?!

Instead I’ll call this post….. pictures I took but had nothing to say for them so I didn’t share. 🤣🤣

It’s a hectic time of year trying to get all the work done and also keep up with every day life things. Our schedule should eventually slow down mid January and remain relatively calm until mid March. 🤪So until then…… let’s just keep on keeping on.

There’s just something special about a mama cow and her brand new calf in the morning light. She delivered a beautiful baby boy. Excited to welcome Shimmer to the parlor as a first timer.

I would absolutely trade my accumulated bundle of “useless skills” for the ability to confidently build things with my own two hands 😂 Unfortunately, I can’t measure, I have zero patience, and trusting myself with power tools feels like a questionable life choice.

So instead, I married the mate to my soul — someone talented in all the things that would expose me immediately on a construction site.

And honestly? Watching an idea go from a conversation… to a sketch… to a real working part of the farm is pretty incredible.

Our mobile chicken coop for the laying hens is officially underway, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t having fun with this project. There’s something deeply satisfying about planning your work, working your plan, and then watching it come to life right in front of you.

Even better is seeing those plans eventually serve a purpose on the farm and flourish season after season. That part never gets old.

HARD ONE TO POST. Took me a day to get my bearings straight.

A farm dog is so much more than a pet. They’re your companion, your sidekick, your best friend, and your partner through every season of life. The highs and lows of farming can feel overwhelming at times, but somehow a good dog always makes the hard days a little easier.

This week, we had to say goodbye to one of the great ones — our beloved border collie, Case. His health was failing, and as a family we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go peacefully.

Case was part of every single day here on the farm. He was always out on the driveway whenever someone pulled in, right there to greet you. Always waiting at the back door when it was time for milking. Always in the parlor, patiently waiting for a scratch or a little attention in the gentlest way possible. Truthfully, he was almost annoying with how affectionate and loving he was — and I would give anything for one more day of it.

The farm feels a little quieter now without him here.

Miss you, buddy. Always and forever. ❤️

A customer recently asked how it’s possible for us to raise grass-fed animals when grass doesn’t grow in the winter.

As the saying goes… we make hay when the sun shines. ☀️🌱

During the growing season, we spend countless hours chasing the sunshine and the rain — because it takes both to grow healthy fields. While our cows graze fresh pasture through the warmer months, we also work all season long harvesting and storing forages like hay and baleage to feed throughout the winter.

Farming is deeply seasonal. Every crop has its window, every field depends on the weather, and every cutting matters. Too much rain and the grass can’t be harvested. Too little rain and it won’t grow. It’s a constant cycle of watching the skies, working with nature, and preparing months ahead for seasons yet to come.

So when winter arrives and the pastures rest, the animals are still eating the very same grasses grown right here on our farm — just carefully preserved from sunnier days.

By mesh I mean….. I need his skills more than he needs mine. 🤣🤣🤣 HOWEVER….. A wise friend once told me, when the water rises…… all the boats float. 😉

As a farmer, I’ve learned that sometimes it’s not formal training that helps you solve problems — it’s experience.

Last night Liberty started showing some very concerning symptoms. She came into the holding area extremely unstable, her front legs quivering and struggling to keep her footing. It wasn’t the typical “drunk walk” of ketosis, and she isn’t recently fresh, so milk fever didn’t make sense either. My mind immediately went to toxins… but honestly, I wasn’t sure.

Unfortunately, we’ve seen something similar before about two years ago. At the time, we lost our first two cows before our veterinarian suggested activated charcoal. We were able to save the next two by dosing them quickly. Activated charcoal works by binding to toxins before they can enter the bloodstream.

One thing we learned back then: charcoal and a drench gun don’t mix very well. 😅 It tends to clog everything up, and dosing a cow is definitely not a clean process. Rick wore a little more charcoal than Liberty did for part of the treatment. 😂

We never figured out exactly what toxin caused the issue back then. It happened over several months with changing weeds and grasses, so pinpointing the source was nearly impossible. Ever since, I’ve kept a bag of charcoal on hand “just in case.” Thankfully we haven’t needed it again… until last night.

Happy to report that this morning Liberty walked out of the hospital pen like nothing ever happened — walking normally, eating hay, and drinking water. 😌

As they say… all’s well that ends well. Fingers crossed she continues to recover, and hopefully we never see this issue again.

There’s something peaceful about the evening walk back to the barn.

These girls spend their days doing exactly what cows were designed to do — grazing fresh pasture, soaking up sunshine, and turning grass into nutrient-dense milk for your family. Every step in this line represents care, routine, and a commitment to farming the way nature intended. 🫶🏽🌱🐮

People often ask what makes grass fed dairy different. The answer starts right here:
Fresh air.
Green grass.
Healthy animals.
And farmers willing to do the work every single day.

No shortcuts. No factory feel. Just cows, pasture, and a whole lot of purpose. 💛🥛

It’s a beautiful day to milk cows!

3 fun facts about Jersey cows:

1. Their milk is naturally golden thanks to high butterfat + beta-carotene
2. Small cows, big output—packed with rich cream perfect for cheese, butter & more
3. Sweet, curious personalities (and yes…those eyelashes really are that good )

From pasture to product, this is what makes our Jersey milk stand out 💛🥛
