LETā€™S CREATE A SOUND FOOD SYSTEM

Now is the best time to make next yearā€™s reservation.

A deposit ensures a beef crafted for your table.

By reserving your beef share we can, together, create a sustainable source for high quality beef. Your deposit is a vote for our farm to continue to produce organically fed beef with the high standards we place on production spanning over 18 months. It is your voice in regenerative and responsible agriculture.

Itā€™s actually our favorite thing.

You see, if your rinsing produce to reduce the amount of pesticides you might change your mind once you understand how they work..

Most farm chemicals are formulated specifically to dissolve or suspend in water so they can be applied with large sprayers. Theyā€™re mixed with oils used as a sticking agent so they remain on the crop longer. Baking soda can break down the leftover pesticides bonded to your food most effectively but isnā€™t 100% removal.

šŸ‘‰šŸ»Insert headlines on water quality here.

Yep, this is what run off us such an issue. Chemicals designed to dissolve in water enter the water cycle.

Alternatively, what happens in a drought year? The more you pay attention to the crops on the side of the road year after year youā€™ll see - they stay. Many times negatively impacting the next crop rotation they were never intended to treat.

Start asking if there are other ways to grow food.
Start asking questions youā€™ve never asked before.

Rinsing pesticide residue on food weā€™re bringing into our homes for our families should not be a norm.

Ask about farming systems, ask about what was used on the land and crops, ask because it will change everything.

Ignoring what weā€™re surrounded by is acceptance. We donā€™t need to be responsible at the consumer level for cleaning pesticides off our fruit and vegetables.

Change the narrative.

Take a walk through the corn we flamed assessing grass and w**d control 1 week afterward. This corn will now be able to get a good head start on any newly emerging w**ds.

Flaming w**ds - yes fire, is one of the ways we control w**ds without relying on synthetic herbicides.

In conventional ag a pre emergent is used. Typically applied to the seeds themselves or soil before planting used to kill w**ds in upper layer of the soil.

Keeping soil health at the forefront is our biggest priority. Putting synthetics in the ground has radiating effects on microbes, nutrient transfer and even earthworm population.

The flamer has a much lower impact on the lifecycles happening in the soil as well as the increasing nutritional quality of the crops coming off of our farms.

The usage of chemicals as a mechanical approach to agriculture needs to change. Without farms like ours asking questions and applying alternative methods weā€™re just on autopilot.

06/02/2026

One question that comes up a lot: why does organic food cost more? Why are we paying more to keep chemicals out?

Short answer: Itā€™s a lot more work

We arenā€™t planting treated seeds, spraying pre emerge and other synthetics. Thereā€™s no quick or simple fix.

When growing organically we simply have to stay ahead of the w**ds. If the w**ds get taller than our crops faster we have lost and our yields will drop dramatically. Harvest will be a battle and grain quality not as good - meaning our organic buyers wonā€™t want it.

While these little seeds are emerging we are on these fields as much as we can be cutting the w**ds down over and over until our plants reach a stage to outgrow them or our equipment can reach over them.

And even then we still battle them with hand labor.

Organic food costs more because it simply takes more work to produce.

Moreover, when soil health is a priority weā€™re not just on this ground for a seasonal harvest but many times 2-3 different crop rotations and or animal impact rounds are happening.

Weā€™ve created a bridge between wellness and land where healing and health begin in the soil.

Iā€™ve always imagined hosting a farm dinner to help people connect with their food but that idea only scratched the surface of the message we try and convey on our farm.

Simply eating here couldnā€™t begin to encompass how wellness begins beneath our feet and is lived through daily intention. How the process of wellness and nutrition is achieved through healthy soil, plants, animals rooted in our practices.

Today our organic farm was able to be vessel moving wellness forward; we hosted our first Wellness Morning leading this group on a journey through whole body healing and nutritional intention.

Yoga on prairie. Grounding us deeply through strong root systems and a symphony of wildlife.

Crystal Sound Bowls balancing our energy. Spending time on our organic ground can release negative charge, increase serotonin, neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation.

Nutritious cooking demo. Like a real live cooking channel in our house! Jenn brought knowledge and insight on preparing a balanced breakfast to help our bodies reach their optimal functions.

Gut-Brain Connection. Where our mood begins. When we eat we are feeding our mind, leading our thoughts and actions. Keeping close tabs on the good and the bad can help understand so much in our mental health than many of us know!

Circadian Biology. Aligning our lifestyle with our surroundings: light, seasons and mitochondrial function. Simplicity in our environment and daily exposures can be a powerful driver in overall wellbeing.

A morning that was needed.
A morning that was welcomed.
A morning we strive to repeat each day.

Firefly Yoga
Everything Zen Acupuncture

Feeding your family clean, local beef is easy when you plan ahead with us!

For 10 years weā€™ve prioritized soil health and biodiversity through certified organic agriculture. Beef raised on grasses and grains grown on healthy soil is linked to significantly higher nutrient content.

We have heard the call to diligence, stewardship and awareness to our land and livestock.

In ancient Israel, livestock represented a personā€™s livelihood, wealth, and security. Advising that you cannot be passive about your assets. Thousands of years since then and very little in that statement has changed.

To succeed and survive careful management of the resources entrusted to us has led us strongly down a path encompassing soil health.

Keeping this truth meant leaving the conventional world behind. Becoming certified organic meant regular check points, audits and and actively managing in a way that never assumes. Continual involvement to remain aware and plan ahead and willingness to adapt to change anything thatā€™s takes us off path.

Our day to day role always look to the future preparing our land and livestock to prosper.

Few career paths span a complete lifecycle with the ability to touch on each stage. We take this role of stewardship to the highest levels we know possible, as we fundamentally shape the future of many living things.
ā€”ā€”
23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,
give careful attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not endure forever,
and a crown is not secure for all generations.
25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears
and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing,
and the goats with the price of a field.
27 You will have plenty of goatsā€™ milk to feed your family
and to nourish you.
