Let’s talk about my sweet Ruth. ❤️

Ruth was purchased quite a while back with every intention of ending up as beef. The plan was simple: fatten her up along with the others and eventually fill the freezer.

Then came day one.

We unloaded her from the trailer, and before we knew it, she walked right up to Nick and me looking for pets. We looked at each other and immediately knew:

"Yep... we're out of a beef."

Both of us, but especially Nick, have a soft spot for Jerseys, and from that moment on, we just didn't have the heart to send her to the processor.

I prayed that when we tested her, she would come back clean and be able to stay as a permanent member of our milking girls.

The Lord answered.

She came back squeaky clean.

So Ruth was pulled from the beef field and introduced to our little dairy herd.

Next step: make her a mama.

For the last year, I've watched Ruth love on the other Jersey calves, patiently waiting for one of her own. This morning, it was finally her turn.

She delivered the most perfect little heifer.

God is so good. While this life can be exhausting at times, we are incredibly blessed to witness His handiwork over and over again.

We are deeply thankful for the opportunity to care for His creation each day and to experience the countless reminders of His goodness, grace, and provision along the way.

Days like today make all the hard work worth it. ❤️

It has been such a joy watching this sweet girl finally get a baby of her own. After all this time, seeing her become a mama feels extra special. And now, I can't wait to get her into the stanchion and see just how wonderful she truly is as a milk cow.

Welcome to the world, little one. 💕

We’re letting go of some of our year old laying hens.

Most are Rhode Island reds and Buff Orphingtons. Great layers!

Good news: Our pasture-raised chickens are officially back in stock! 🎉

We have one bird left that hasn’t hit the freezer yet if you’d like a fresh, never-frozen chicken.

Halves and whole birds are available.

Now for the not-so-good news: we’re taking a little breather.

With Nick’s new career path, it’s become clear that keeping up at the scale we’ve been operating at with essentially one person running things is possible, but it’s also exhausting. We do have one more batch currently growing out, but after that, we’re not sure what the rest of the year will look like. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So if you’ve been thinking about stocking your freezer, don’t wait too long. Get them while we’ve got them!

As always, thank you for supporting our family farm. ❤️

First to hatch!

Baby Coturnix Quail are peeping! Depending on our hatch rate, we may have some looking for a new brooder.
Regardless, we have an amazing quail hook up if you’re wanting to add a few to your farm!

Anxious to see what all hatches out of this batch. 🤗

Life changes have put a lot of farm things on the back burner lately. As much as we’ve tried to keep things running as normally as possible, we realized our main focus became simply keeping everything healthy, happy, and thriving.

We truly appreciate everyone’s continued support through this new season of life and are excited to share that we’ll be restocked on all of our pasture-raised pork at the beginning of June, with beef following later in the month!

Thank you for sticking it out with us. ❤️

Ya know the hardest part about raising livestock?Knowing they won’t be with you forever.

Around here, animals usually have a purpose. Sometimes they stay to grow the herd, sometimes they leave to make room for the next chapter, and sometimes they help cover the feed bill that never seems to stop climbing. That’s just part of farm life.

But I think what makes this life hard is also what makes us good at it. We love them deeply. We care for them every single day they’re here, and long after they’re gone we still think about them. Around here there’s no such thing as “just a cow” or “just a goat.” They’re part of our days, our routines, our stories. They’re blessings God trusted us with for a season, and we’re grateful for every one of them.

Watching these two kids leave yesterday about split me in half. These babies were raised right at my back door. They’ve lounged on my porch, snuck onto my couch, followed me around the farm all day long, and kept me and the kids laughing nonstop. But we can’t keep them all. We’ve done our part loving and raising them, and now it’s their turn to go bless another family while helping pay for the next round of feed.

I’m beyond thankful they went to people we know and trust. That softens the sting a little. 🤍

Let me tell ya, this calf has put us through emotional CrossFit.

We waited on Pearl for TWO weeks. Every day she looked ready. Every. Single. Day.

Then we leave town for the weekend TOGETHER for first time in YEARS, because farm life treats vacations like a rumor. Naturally, Pearl says “perfect timing” and starts acting suspicious.

Family checked her twice a day. No calf. We get told she had bloody discharge, so we just knew she’d have one before we got home. Nope.

We got back, Nick was convinced she’d calved, so we spent all day searching fields by gator and on foot like CSI: Cow Edition. No calf. Nothing.

At this point the options were: she hid it REALLY GOOD, coyotes filed paperwork, or she was still pregnant.

Well…a week later, madam finally delivers a giant bull calf like none of this chaos happened. God is good.

We’ll be at the Buena Vista Farmers Market today, and we’re bringing the chicken… frozen and still waiting to hatch. 🙃

We’ve got an egg avalanche happening over here, so come help us find these beauties a new countertop. We’ll also have our whole pasture-raised chickens available. They’re flying out of the coop (freezer) FAST, so if you haven’t grabbed one yet, today’s your chance!

It’ll be another couple weeks before we process again, so don’t let this bird train leave without you. 🐔
